Type 2 times: Waiting For the Shoe to Drop...
This was my first posting post diagnosis in 2004. My wife was not thrilled about me talking about this to anyone* and hoped I would keep my mouth shut. Since then, I have met a large number of people with this illness and others I know have had complications:
At that time (2004), my brother Charlie still had a left leg and most of his right leg. His right leg ends in mid-theigh and his left leg ends in mid calf.A friend's grandaughter was on the insulin pump; she has now graduated from high school and is still on the pump. She did "take off a summer" (2006) and just used injections.
Just before he started 10th grade, her y0unger brother "came down with" type 1 diabetics as well and is now on the needle.
A friend of mine was using "lizard spit" but kept having adverse reactions to it and went back to metformin and something else. This is kind of a "no shit" when you conisider that
Q.E.D.: To some people, injecting "lizard spit" is to inject gila monster venim!
- "lizard spit" is in a saliva of gila monsters,
- gila monsters are venimous lizards,
- "lizard spit" must be a conponent of gila monster venim!
If you like irony, consider the irony of my wife now being treated for "pre-diabeties". She still doesn't like to talk about her pre-diabetes but is a little more comfortable about talking about mine. I guess she's gotten used to it..."So, why am I sprewing this out? Because my wife is embarrassed when I do mention "my condition" and posting my remarks to a blog sounds like a private confession that few will read. sigh"
