"I'm with you Snow Bunny, I don't do shots well. I get 'em, but I don't have to like 'em."

Have to laugh at this, because when you MUST have 'em to survive, they are nothing!
Twenty-eight years ago I developed very brittle (frequent extremes, high and low) insulin-dependent diabetes, the current Game Plan two types of synthetic insulin.
They cannot be given together - one is twice a day at 12-hr intervals; the other according
to a sliding scale before meals and at bedtime.

That adds up to SIX injections every day - and more if the blood glucose is soaring.
The high pain threshold I've always had is invaluable - they truly are nothing more to me
than a gentle flick of the finger on the skin would be to you.

It is mind over matter - life is a precious thing!
Sixteen years ago kidney complications led them to state I would be buried in less than a year;
more than likely, 4-5 months.
They underestimated a stubborn Irish/German/Scotish/English God-loving MARINE! LOL

It may sound course, though not meant to be...Better you than me. I, like you, would do it, but I still wouldn't like it.

What am I to say, I feel helpless. Someday, a cure? One would never know unless you spoke of it. My family has a history of diabetes too and I monitor myself.
Keep fighting the long fight.

..Sixteen years ago kidney complications led them to state I would be buried in less than a year; more than likely, 4-5 months. They underestimated a stubborn Irish/German/Scotish/English God-loving MARINE!..

Maybe they should have asked the Creator about the timing.....He is the One who determines that.
