I wasn't sure, we need a sarcasm smiley.

Again...:laugh:...
I apologize for^^^^^^^^^^
Caught me at a bad time.

If we are both around here long enough, you'll find that I'm rarely dead serious about anything. I try to take a lighter approach to life without realizing some(most) people don't get me.

Again...I apologize. That really was so unlike me.

Also know that foods that affect 1 diabetic greatly have minimal impact on other diabetics.
My dad lived a very strict and regimented diet, yet he could eat popcorn with minimal impact. A strong breeze would raise his blood sugar....popcorn not so bad. I can't eat popcorn or any corn without sky high blood sugars. Funny huh???

It's very true and that's why dibeties is so hard to treat. You don't just treat diabeties you need to treat the complications it causes or other afflections you may have. If your sight is effected you need to treat that, If sores develope those need to be treated or amputation is in your future. If your prone to high blood pressure that needs to be treated or your more at risk for a heart attack then most peope with out diabeties. If you have an auto immune diffency diabeties make it almost imposible to treat. If your colestrol is high your more prone to a heart attack then the average person with high colestrol. Etc....

Oh crap......after all of that....NOW I take the time to read the whole thing.
I apologize again, but in my defense...I dressed in the dark today and mistakenly put on my .......
I usually only wear that to family outings. I kinda got snarky and I rarely do that.

Me too and my kids think its funny and my wife thinks I've gone off my meds:)

Lol.....my outburst may have been a result of "going off my meds".
I took a tumble a couple of weeks ago and broke 1 rib, cracked 2 and bruised my lung. It happened on Saturday morning but I never bruised. Oh sure...the initial impact area was red then faded....but no bruise. It hurt like the the dickens but since it didn't bruise I thought was just being a big OL girl about it. Mowed Saturday, took it easy Sunday, went to work Monday and whimpered like a litte girl all of Monday evening. Mama bears took me to the ER at 1:00 am Tuesday morning.

Really good meds.....now I'm off and grumpy:laugh:

Well, like I said....had it bruised I probably would have been more proactive. Since I didn't I felt I was just being a baby(I used the term big OL girl...my apologies to the ladies if they find that to be derogatory.....I'm a dude).
Wife has attempted to mow 1 time in the 25+ years that we've been married. She took off down the driveway and hit the yard willy-nilly at some odd angle...not a 45 degree or 22.5....some odd angle and then not even close to being a straight line. I fired her after 20 feet. Looking back.....I think she played me like a pro.

Went to work because...well...because of that big OL girl syndrome.

The other reason I didn't go right off the bat is because for 2 x-rays, I shot of pain killer, 10 minutes of dr. Face time and a script in hand, the billing info we received a week later from the insurance company showed the bill was $1,700:ohmy:. Sure....I didn't pay for it......but in the long run we all do in stupid high premiums. $1,700 is just not right for what they performed. It pisses me off. I just don't like to run to a dr. For every little thing. My wife and daughter will run there for a hangnail.....that pisses me off also.

I've been feeling a little shy of posting in this thread until I get off my behind and buy more strips for testing my blood sugar levels. I was going to be good and finally check my blood sugar the other day, but my strips had expired (by a lot!). I feel like I've been naughty and shouldn't be allowed to play until I straighten up!

I'm sorry you've been feeling bad, Hawk. We need to let ourselves be babies sometimes. IMHO it helps the healing process. Another of my armchair prescriptions? Moaning. I swear it helps ease pain! However, it definitely does not help with nausea.

It sounds like your wife and my ex played the same game. My ex just could not fold clothes properly no matter how hard he tried. Then, one day he was so distracted by our conversation that he folded clothes perfectly by accident. Oops! Caught!

Quite honestly, I tend to avoid doctors because I just plain don't trust them. The vast majority of my health issues have been CAUSED by doctors. When I did get really good insurance, my health suffered horribly. I just really don't trust doctors.

And, on top of not doing their job properly, they charge an indecent amount. No shame at all.

Hang in there Dancing....it's all good.
Expired strips are better than none at all....use those with a new one. Compare the reading with a new one to an expired one and see what you get. When my dad passed , mom gave me a grocery bag full of BETIC stuff. He had strips that were 5 years old, but I checked my blood sugar with 1 of those and then with a new one and found them to be very close. Maybe they degrade with age or maybe(and this is what I really beleive) big pharma sticks a dead by date on stuff to make you buy more to swell their profits. I know that sounds crazy. Surely an industry wouldn't play us for profits....would they? :laugh:(obligatory joking emoticon....till y'all get me.....and I'm VERY easy to get)

If you got them use them with new ones, but keep track. When you think about it.....what could possibly go wrong, spoil, degrade on a test strip? Just a way to part you and your money. But since I'm not 100% sure...it's your job to check it.
All I know is I used my dads 5 year old strips and kept cross checking them with new ones to see what was what and found them to be very close.

Don't you ever feel shy about posting here.....never. This is kinda why this thread exists. Jump in here often....even if its only with cookie and cake recommendations..:laugh::laugh::laugh:(see?? That right there is a joke).....

Naw, life sometimes gets in the way of my fun on the forum.
Glad you found out what's wrong (and I second the moaning. It does help.)

We'll talk to you whether you test or not. Don't feel bad. <hug>

I agree. I took my self off statins (then told my doctor later) I feel the drug reps have an AWFUL lot to do with what I'm prescribed. Last time it was nasonex I was prescribed and refused. "slow wound healing, increased risk of infection..." for a seasonal allergy?!? Come on, it's not THAT big a deal. I'll live with it.
