  • Happy Fourth of July!

    We had our neighborhood parade today.

    I actually walked in the parade this year, which I think may be a first, but certainly it has been at least 3 years since I walked it.

    This is something I really think is cool. Our “block” faces a park, and the neighbors who have been here the longest have been organizing it. I think they are ready to pass it on to the younger generation, and I’m hoping the younger moms will take it on.

  • DLife

    Unfortunately I missed last week. I think a lot of Dr. Bernstein, I’ve got two of his books.

    I expected tonight to be a rerun, but was pleasantly surprised.

    I think the words of the person who was bringing out the new products was the best piece of advice I’ve ever heard and something I live by — do the best you can with the tools at hand to control your diabetes, so you’ll live long enough to take advantage of the newer technologies.

    Anyway, the latest episodes are heads above the beginning episodes.

  • Good news

    Today is my weigh in day. I’ve been ignoring most of them, but right now, I weigh the least I have weighed this summer.

    I think I am finally destressed and I do think the Symlin is helping. It definately makes controlling eating easier.

  • Interesting Site

    I did email and complain. Unfortunately I can’t read the bulk of the information.

  • Symlin

    Since the symlin introduction went so smoothly, I probably won’t be commenting on it much. I really am not having any bad side effects, and am seeing the good ones.

    I do need to find a better way to transport the Symlin. I’ve already “lost” the vial once, and the syringes aren’t very handy or attractive either. If anyone has a suggestion for a small container for carrying injectables, please let me know. Temperature isn’t an issue. Having room for both vials would be nice.

    AND would the manufacture please give us pens!

    I’m a spoiled brat since I started out on pens.

  • New Hangout Place

    The beagles and I found a new hang out place today. It’s a bit out of the way, but the girls are welcome, so I’ll be going again. It’s called The Pooch Patio, and they serve coffee, soft drinks, wine and beer.

    If anyone would like to get together with us sometime, send me an email.

  • Discussion Forum on Byetta

    Byetta is a new injectable for Type 2s on some oral medications, so I can’t help you with that one. However, there is a discussion forum for it at the Diabetes Blog.

    I personally call it lizard spit.
