Diabetes Heaven
As diabetes is practically a religion anyway (we have rituals, rites of passage, arcane knowledge, and lots, and lots, and lots, and lots, and lots of prayer); I think we deserve our own special afterlife.
I submit we deserve Diabetic Valhalla.
Now for those of you who didn’t know, Viking heaven was called Valhalla. As I recall it involved fighting all day and at the end of each day Valkyries resurrected the day’s dead and everyone went back to the great hall for feasting and orgies. Next day it happened all over again and so on. Well, the nights sound pretty good. I’m not too sure about all the blood, dismemberment, and dying during the day….I think we D-folk have had enough of that in this world; we don’t need any more in the afterlife.
So I’m picturing Diabetic Valhalla like this: we’ll feast on carbs all day and sleep hypo-free at night. Our bodies will be healthy and complication free without so much as a pimple.
Once a month we’ll gather at a bonfire and cast our meters, pumps, syringes, lancets, and log books into it. And the Valkyries will resurrect our stuff so we can burn it again next month.
What’d ya think?

I use my cell phone alarm to remind me to remind my son to take his Lantus every evening. And I have it set to remind me again an hour later to check up on him & make sure he actually took it. Verizon used to have a download (no airtime) nutrition database, but no longer. There might be a Calorie King app that uses airtime, but I give Verizon enough of my money, so we just use a book to look up carbs. All this stuff should be built into a cell phone. (In Korea there is a cell phone/glucose meter.) My son is starting on the Omnipod in a couple of weeks & people ask if I'm afraid he'll lose track of the PDM, but he never loses track of his cell phone!
Sounds good!
