Take That

Yes, I CAN eat ice cream.


Loved this hot fudge sundae, with a cherry on top...

(SWAG = 50g -> I'll leave your mind working on how that D-Math worked out...)

Take THAT, Wendell!

And THIS...


See that window to the right there? I believe that's the office of a certain publisher...

So, Take THAT Southside Times...

Even on your own FRONT STEPS, I have no problem eating ice cream.

And so can the rest of the Diabetes Community.

Not matter what you say or write, those of us Living With Diabetes are more than capable of eating ice cream even as we do what we do in managing our D-Lives and overall health effectively.

DON'T tell us otherwise, or pretend to know what's best for OUR worlds.

This is what I think of your writing...


Thanks for playing.

You're awesome! Thanks for letting us all know about this "article" so we can take even more enjoyment from eating ice cream. Diabetes may suck, but diabetics rock!

That rocks. I love sticking it to people who tell diabetic they can't do something. It's not only rude but completely wrong. Although, my rocky road ice cream may disagree with your vanilla, I definitely think we agree on the purpose of it all: that we control our lives with diabetes.

Where you had your ice cream is even better than having it in the first place! That picture needs to be picture of the year - I doubt anyone could ever come up with a better one!

Welcome to the End of the World?

Well, did anyone think this is what 2020 would look like? Global pandemic and worldwide public health emergency, everything shutting down and a potential economic collapse on the horizon. Holy fuck. ' A "Pandemic (in Quarantine) Playlist on my Spotify is now a thing, and my own remote worklife now in its 8th year has taken on an eeerie new spin. As are my watchlists full of dystopian and post-apocalyptic TVs and movies for streaming in these strange times. All of my work travel and conferences for the spring have been nixed, and we're all watching closely to see what the impact may be for summer events. What about my "underlying health condition" that is type 1 diabetes? So far, so good. No signs of anything astray. As I've shared over on DiabetesMine, I have been using the Tandem t:slim X2 device since mid-October 2019. That followed three-and-a-half years of Multiple Daily Dosing with pens and Afrezza inhaled insulin insulin. I starte...

A Writer's Pen

A writer carries a pen. That is the way it is. For as long as I recall, that's how it has been. Moments have appeared, of course, where that vow failed. Where I did not have a pen to write with. Where the pen was in my hand, but it didn't write. Moments in history are marked by the written word. Journalists know and live this truth*.... ( yes, truth matters. Facts matter. Alternate versions of both do not **.) ... [ the fact that we have to emphasize this in 2020-21 is ridiculous, but the reality exists ]. I carry a pen. Because I'm a writer. Because the written word matters. Because facts and details matter. Context is everything. Painting a picture with my words is what I've done, professionally and personally, for so long. Words have painted a picture, opened a portal into the heart and mind. I've read what others have written with their own pens, even if those pens aren't physical but mental and those words have materialized from digital tools. The idea of w...

Flapping the Gums

No time for my chatty-typing fingers to engage you today. I'm off to the dentist's office for a dreaded appointment. Thanks to the wonders of D-enduced periodontal disease, this should be a visit full of poking, prodding, pain, and likely some bleeding. Great times. Not looking forward to this visit. Or the next more painful one. I see soup in my future. Maybe Easy Mac. But, I digress. That's all fodder for a future blog post. In the meantime today, talk amongst yourselves. Flap those online gums in the blogging world. And remember to brush and floss.
