  • Apparently my blog has spawned a “child” blog

    She’s just started blogging.

    It also goes to show you, that the “Type 2” profile doesn’t fit everyone.

  • Half Way There

    I’m about halfway on both of my classes. We just finished Week 5, and the term is 10 weeks.

    I’ve got a perfect score so far in the Readings class. We have 4 more weeks of discussions, I’ve done my turn as discussion leader, and we have two major assignments. One is an annotated bibliography, and I have the entries found and identified. I would like to have 5 more, since a couple of the readings were provided by the instructors. We also have a final — essay form.

    The telecommunications class is going well too. I’ve lost 4 1/2 points so far on the assignments. We have two left, the research project which I am doing on WiMAX, and the last assignment which they haven’t told us how to do yet. We have a face-to-face on Tuesday, which should help.

    I think it is all do able.

  • DLIfe

    This round of episodes is heads above the first round. In fact, I recommend burning those

    Tonight’s was good — focused on advocacy and on training. Am I the only one that kind of thought the congressman was withholding?

    I’m really glad they no longer do group interviews!

    I really hope they can get a different time slot. Being up against 60 Minutes is not a good idea, and not everyone DVRs.

  • New Diabetes Blog

    The title of her blog is a bit dramatic. She’s just started blogging.

    I’m dying

    Tried to leave a comment, but her blog only allows Blogger members to comment.

  • More Symlin good news…

    I’m so funny — I was meeting with my CDE and a couple of other people about something else, but when my CDE asked me how I was doing on the Symlin, I told her I had to show her something and led her to her scales.

    I cheerfully hoped on them (I hate doctors scale, so she knew something good was up).

    Well, according to her scales I’ve lost 7 pounds in 1 1/2 weeks. What is even better, is that I weighed at 9:00 a.m. with only 1 diet coke in me, and I weighed after several meals and lots of fluid and at 1:30.

  • I can see arguments both for and against

    City Officials Aim to Track How Diabetics Manage Illness – New York Times

    I’m not sure I want anyone besides my doctor and I seeing my A1C results. If the data was reported without being linked to individual patients I would have less of a problem with this.

  • Worst “bout” with symlin

    I think I’ve had my worst “side effects” of Symlin this morning. I don’t usually eat a lot of carbs in the morning, but decided to give it a try today. I had some breakfast pizza — 45 carbs.

    I also did my exercise routine right after. I had a brief bout of queasiness and nausea while I was working out but since I’ve finished and showered, everything seems to be calming down.

    Weight is still going down on a fairly rapid basis, even after yesterday’s sitting still all day.
