I've been on insulin since about 1990 and the damned disease still
sneeks up on me. Bad episode the other early morning and I still didn't
recognize what was happening to me (been a long time since I had one)
until I started passing out. Then my old brain said get some sugar dummy.

Sort of runs in my family, mostly with heart problems but the diabetes
seems to be mine, no one else in the family has it. I would just as soon
not have the duty to get it. <BSEG> Even dogs get diabetes, friend of
mine had a poodle the he gave insulin shots to every day. My dog is
always starving to death. Vet put her on a 1/3 cup of dog food every day
and she lost five lbs within a week and now can run and jump again. I'm
afraid my doc is going to do the same thing to me. My doctor is a former
fat man and is now lean and mean. I need a fat doctor.
