Correct.
"I have tricked people into believing I know what I'm doing, ohshit."
As incorrect as the denial of the Oxford comma.
Jilli, that's very exciting! I can't wait to hear more about this project when you have the ability to talk about it openly.
le nubian, I'd highly recommend meeting with a nutritionist/dietician specifically schooled in diabetic nutrition. It's a whole different food world out there now for you, and this can help you set a baseline for what's good and not, as well as ensure you get the right information to make smart choices.

Ha! I will have to remember to tell that response to my therapist; she will approve.
Thanks, gang! I should be able to really REALLY talk about things at the beginning of September. It's all so crazy!
Fantabulous, Jilli! So excited for you.
Yay, Jilli!
I've been diabetic for years, and today I caved and started taking insulin. I feel like a complete failure for not having been able to take care of this without going to the needle. Fortunately I've got a pen thing and I only have to take it once a day, instead of a hypodermic and multiple injections where I have to eat within a certain amount of time or bad things happen. And despite what I've been told in the past, it is possible to go off the stuff if I get my weight down etc.
Because garlic cheddar mashed potatoes make my soul happy, and I won't live in a world without spuds.
Jilly, that is absolutely splendid! I can't wait to hear more details when you're free to give them.

Oh Sail, it's like I never even *knew* you!
God, that friend is awesome and hilarious. Also, wise.
It's true!

This is also true! Go you!
Maria, all sorts of ~ma for you. If it's any consolation, my boss just had surgery to have melanoma cells removed from her face (she now has a very nice forehead scar, and said "If I'd known there'd be a big scar, I'd have asked for a lightning bolt.") and apparently between that and some follow-on treatment has a 99% cure prognosis.
It seems that the medical types know what they are doing. (And you can hardly see the scar).
