My daughter is totally random. Our most recent exchange:
"Mommy? Do you think that I think you're fat? Cause I don't. Think you're fat."
"Er, thanks, kiddo."
Mal: I call you back? Wash: No, Mal. You didn't. Zoe: I take full responsibility, cap.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

All,
Ginger recommended that I pop my head in here. Here's my post in Natter. If you all have tips, etc. I would appreciate them here or profile addy works as well.
Folks,
on Tuesday I was diagnosed with diabetes. This was not a huge surprise for me on Tuesday because my vision had been getting fucked up for a week.
I am, however, concerned/scared(?) with this diagnosis and I'm going to work my ass off to see if I can get off oral meds after a few weeks/months.
Are there buffistas/os here who have diabetes and can provide advice, tips, links, etc.?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Aw, you people. Thank you. sj, Jilli, Aims, and smonster are 4 more reasons why I love this place.
DH wants to keep it quiet, but I told him I needed to be able to talk to someone other than him. I don't want to take out my anger or frustration or fear on him, because he's already in a bad headspace and thinking about worst case scenarios. Right now I'm trying to be Polly Positive to keep him from falling down the rabbit hole. All of you--and my sister--will keep me from doing the same.

Oh, Maria. t Shakes fist at universe
Here's the the simplest, least scary diagnosis possible. Having been through the hell of waiting to find out, I know what it's like. I kept quoting Sherlock Holmes, "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data."

Maria. I'm so sorry. Fuck cancer with a chainsaw.
Whatever you need, you got. You need to bitch, you need to cry, you need to rage...
Got your back.

Maria, I'm sorry. If you need to rant and wail, I'm in the area.

Dear Powers That Be,
Knock it the FUCK off. Stop treating my people (and me) so poorly right now.

So, should I post some vague (because I can't talk about all the details yet) good news?

le nubian - Sorry about the diabetes diagnosis. This is common in my family including all 3 of my siblings. There should be plenty of good diet sites available but the 2 hints I would suggest are little frequent meals and remember that pasta and bread are sugar in disguise. The people I know that are most successful in controlling it are thin, so apparently weight control is a big help. Best of luck to you. I know lots of people that keep it under control and expect that you can too.
I am in Otter Lake for the summer, which should provide more time, and yet is hasn't. Bobby is with me with good intentions for house projects being completed. Brandy is with me enjoying the woods, and building my muscles as she has to be carried up and down stairs. Mom's 90th is in 3 weeks and I am looking forward to near and extended family gathering to celebrate. The days, months, years fly by.
