Nobody like to be around a crabapple.<BR/>Chrissie, you are a vibrant and disciplined lady - yup, the pleasure is also mine!<BR/><BR/>Eve - yes, I know you from your comments over at Zazzy's blog - she really inspires sme in-depth discussions. As far as the scarf goes, I would never unravel anything - I just put the stitches on a piece of string, make a few notes and put it in a baggie until I feel like picking it up again - and, I always do. I am thankful that I have gotten over my "grit your teeth until it's done" attitude. But, it's also a great pleasure to resume something and have it turn out well.<BR/>Thanks for stopping by!Minnesota Nicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170043587010711783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30709081.post-72197273996955721392007-11-11T14:41:00.000-06:002007-11-11T14:41:00.000-06:00I followed you over from your post at Zazen in the...I followed you over from your post at Zazen in the Moonlight. I am a type 2 diabetic, not insulin dependent, but dependent on Actos and Metformin. In my family diabetes is pretty much a given - everyone gets it sooner or later. Not many type 1's, but a few of those, too. I've heard that some type 1's don't like to be considered in the same boat as type 2's. It's not true that we are receiving our just reward for a lifetime of overindulgence and indolence. Anyway, I'm not looking for controversy. I appreciate the support and wisdom of other diabetics. Because diabetes is so prevalent in my family it was never really scary for me when I was diagnosed 15 years ago. I've managed to have good control all that time. I have other serious health problems that are more of a challenge to me. They are not as a result of the diabetes, but everything in our lives is affected by and has an affect on diabetes.<BR/><BR/>One of my hobbies is knitting. I, too, admire the project in your hands. It is lacy and pretty. I hope you learn to like it again. It would be a shame to waste all that work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30709081.post-68995938688064938642007-11-11T03:57:00.000-06:002007-11-11T03:57:00.000-06:00GOD I love your blog! Anything I can say, to show ...GOD I love your blog! Anything I can say, to show my appreciation sounds so punny. You bring up all the important issues, you say it just so perfectly. As you have said, we have been communicating for over a year now. Thanks for being there Kathy. Why do we plaster that happy face on? If we don't we just drag ourselves down even further. And when we do GRIPE to others who are not diabetic, what bloody good does it do? I do NOT believe they understand what we are talking about. If they care, but don't really understand, their inability to help will often just make them annoyed at us. And does any non-diabetic really understand? If anyone understands me, it is my husaband. I love my husband and I will never criticize all the support he gives me, but I still do not think he really understands. You have to experience a hypo, you have to experience a hyper, ketones, being scared to take a walk b/c just THIS time my bg mightdrop like a stone. So we plaster that smile on. What other alternative do we have? When we plaster that smile on, we force ourselves to be cheerful, and then the world DOES become brighter. We diabetics are given the gift of learning to appreciate the little things that are so damm BIG - the twinkling star, the gold leaves, the blue sky, our pet's snuggle. It sounds so corny, but it is so true. I really liked your blog entry. Thank you for your heart-felt words, and thank you for not smothering us with scheduled on-time blog entries expressing nothing. I will gladly wait for your blog entries; when they come they are always GOOD.

I don't think it's healthy to be in a state of constant angst about diabetes or any other life challenge. On the other hand, stuffing it all and pretending there isn't a challenge isn't great either. I don't know about you, but I have trouble finding the balance.Zazzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11801135411913940539noreply@blogger.com
