Thirty?? I turned thirty this year and loved it!!! Girl, please. It’s an age when u can tell people to kiss your ass- and say it with authority. It’s about being a GAW- grown “a” woman. Thirty plus rocks!! You don’t have to explain yourself to anyone. When we as type I diabetics fight for everyday of our lives, to not embrace thirty or any number is an insult to the pain and sacrifice you’ve made. Wear thirty and anyone who doesn’t respect you, tell them swifly to loss your ass!!!Happy birthday!!! And stop mopin!!!!

Comment on What do you call a room full of people with diabetes…? by Peej

Hi there. I came to your blog for the first time today and I wanted to compliment you on it - great stuff! There seem to be more of us sharing our experience and I think it’s wonderful.

I wanted to drop a note in here about a DESA conference coming up in Boston in June (no idea where you live so it might not be feasible, but) since you said you enjoyed your first diabetic event. All athletes, all diabetic, all in the same place - TONS of great information! http://www.diabetes-exercise.org/index.asp

Oh, and just because you’re managing your diabetes with respect to running differently, doesn’t mean it’s wrong! That’s one thing I’ve learned in talking with other diabetics as much as I can - we all do things very differently because our bodies react differently.

Cheers!
-Peej

Ben likes to toss tampons in the toilet and watch them “get big.” He makes an explosion sound as he tosses them in like he’s dropping a bomb. Chris just looooves unclogging toilets.

LOVE it! Tony just asked me (during dinner) … Mama - why do you hug us right after you have given us spankins?

Oh boy …

How do you manage not getting too low with your long runs? Do you have carbs before your workout or do you also have some during your workout? I have had Type 1 for 10 months now..Im 24 years old…5′3″ and 143 lbs. I’d like to lose about 8-10lbs..its just a challenge with all the snacking and also the hesitance towards exercise! Any tips you have would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks!

that story about Liv hits close to home…M likes to drum her knees with tampons while doing her business. I never seem to remember to put them away until she pulls a handfull out of the box!

Just want you to know that while I don’t know what you’re going through [and honestly, hope to never] … that I still read and cling to every word.

Every word you write is profound, introspective, intelligent and meaningful. Don’t give up on the blog!

Glad you got some pointers for your running. If you can get your arse past 8 miles, then so can I, dammit!

It was lovely meeting you last week at the GHT — you definitely left me inspired to challenge my distance running goals. Thank you for that*
