Guest post from the Diabetic Diva

I am happy to make a guest appearance on Crotchety's other blog, as the Diabetic Diva, almost 100% of my daily life is involved with keeping diabetes from ruining my life. I have good days and I have bad days. How I feel mainly depends on the effort that I put forth. If I eat the prescribed 1600 calorie a day diet, take the recommended 4 daily shots of insulin, take the 4 daily prescribed medications, exercise for the recommended 60 minutes a day, test my blood sugar when I wake up, 2 hours after breakfast, right before lunch, 2 hours afters lunch, right before supper, 2 hours after supper and right before I go to bed, plus, eat at the same time every day, I would probably feel great. However, in the 3650+ days that I have had diabetes, I have failed to accomplish this.

I feel like such a failure...

I bet you didn't know that diabetes was so complicated, did you?

But, that is only the beginning.

Tune in next time when I reveal other new and startling information in the everyday life of the Diabetic Diva. Please hold your applause until after I leave the stage. Until then, check out my evil stepmother at http://reflectionsonamiddle-agedfatwoman.blogspot.com/.
