June 19th, 2011 - I hate it!

I hate that you think diabetes is all about sugar and if I just avoided it, everything would be fine. I hate it that you think insulin is a cure. I hate it that you think it'??s ok that I attend a late afternoon social event where the only thing available to eat is ice cream, pretzels and other carbohydrate laden foods and the only thing to drink is high-fructose corn syrup drinks or water. I hate it that you think I can "just take extra insulin"? or that you have some wonderful great idea on how to managed that neither myself nor my doctor has considered. I hate it that you think my diabetes situation is just like your uncle or aunt who eats anything they like. I hate it but really, I?'m afraid.  I'm afraid that there are way too may ignorant people like you, who just don't get it.

April 11, 2011 - Bubbles

I love soda. I think mostly because of the carbonation. I drink mostly Coke Zero or Diet A&W Root Beer. Never Pepsi. Blech!??But I think I drink too much of it. I tried drinking seltzer but I did not like the taste. I tried San Pellegrino sparkling spring water and loved it. But it's the same thing you say. No. It isn't. The bubbles in San Pellegrino are ... lighter. And the taste is much different. Maybe, it's the natural minerals in the spring water in but the San Pellegrino just taste delicious.

Today, I've decided to cut back on my soda and drink more sparkling water. Buying cases of San Pellegrino to keep up with my demand for bubbles can get expensive. I've decided to purchase a carbonation unit and make my own "bubbly water".
