Welcome and glad you like the blog!
I'v...Sar - <br />Welcome and glad you like the blog!<br />I've had diabetes for a long time, 30+ years and have injected A LOT. <br />Over the years, some areas on my body have developed "dead spots." <br />Basically, dead spots are areas that no longer absorb insulin properly. Sometimes, if i steer clear of them for a few months, they fix themselves. <br />Don't be nervous Sar, your new to the diabetes game and all your bits are still good.. <br />Keep rotating your injection sites and you'll be OK. <br />Thanks for commenting and please, keep stopping by!! <br />Kelly Kk2https://www.blogger.com/profile/04167099133092135850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-52979166772200736912011-02-24T22:37:40.630-05:002011-02-24T22:37:40.630-05:00Hi,

This scares me because I'm injections (was on pump, but do best with Lantus/Novolog combo.

Actually, I can but I don't want to! Burnout at 13... yikes. But I can so see it. It scares me. I think we've all got food issues. I sure do. Sweets is sick and I offered her jello - red or green. "Which is healthier, Mom?" she asked. I wish she didn't have to think about things like that - but then again, I'm glad, in a way, that she does. I think Meri's idea of cloning Ginger is spot on! And that trainer??? Oooooh.... let me at her. That made my blood boil! How dare she tell you not to use a pump?!?

They are healthy slim, SOLID boys. But...me...I still need to work on me. Because I am a BIG TIME stress eater baby. And guess what...having three kiddos with T1 is kinda stessful. So you can imagine my figure. :( Ginger is wonderful.

We're a healthy household in general, but when he chows down and doesn't bolus, we get on his case about it and plead with him to "PLEASE...You can eat what you want but PLEASE DOSE!!" Or, "If you don't feel like dosing, just tell us you're going to eat something so we can do it for you."<br /><br />This post kind of comforts me that what he does isn't unique to him. It's just a normal part of being a child with diabetes.Shannonhttp://momwantsacure.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-26935192540777660802011-02-21T13:43:51.726-05:002011-02-21T13:43:51.726-05:00have you ever heard about the woman who eats toile...have you ever heard about the woman who eats toilet paper?<br />I wonder if that has carbs...Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05189690637723232517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-24608384222864339522011-02-21T12:46:37.055-05:002011-02-21T12:46:37.055-05:00I ate the same meal they served me in the hospital...I ate the same meal they served me in the hospital after my diagnosis for breakfast for at least a year.

I used to carry around Lifesavers for lows (why?) and I would trade them for "good" things from people's lunches.<br />Those exchanges....awful!
