That was a tough show to watch. I haven’t watched Intervention before, but since Scott and some of the other diabetic twitters were talking about it, I decided to DVR it.<\/p>\n
I also find it interesting that the family feels that the invention was successful. I do agree that the kiddo looks healthier than he did before. <\/p>\n
Like diabetes, I don’t think that there is a cure for diabetes mismanagement. I think we all do the best we can on a given day.<\/p>\n
There is a lot to say and feel about it — I recognized that most of the kiddos problems were caused by the complications of diabetes, mostly the depression which is not acknowledged enough. I also believe that the family erred by not transitioning the boy well into doing his own self care. However, we don’t know the whole story.<\/p>\n
I have been sliding down the slippery slope of diabetes mismanagement for quite some time. It’s a gradual slope and today I almost didn’t test my blood sugar before lunch because it was too much trouble to find my meter (I did find it). I also ran out of insulin in the middle of lunch so I didn’t dose appropriately. I’ve got to get better at that and I have to keep in mind that if I don’t take of care of myself, I can’t deal with anything else.<\/p>\n
Part of my problem is my plate is truly too full. I’m Campus Technologist in addition to teaching a full load. Today our phones went down, and part of my job is to put tickets (work orders) in the system so they will get fixed. Thankfully I let someone else do the teaching today, while I spent a lot of my day with the tickets and with planning the new lab install. I’ve also decided we have to start tomorrow or we won’t make it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
