Living with Diabetes and Lapband

Over the last couple of days, some interesting comments have been made.

After I discussed my GERD with my Primary Care Physician, he said -- have you thought about going to Medical School. When I said it would take too long, he said, it would only be 4 more years. I kinda of like my life style now. I would be more interested in nursing school than med school (and becoming a CDE).

I was telling my ESL department chair about trying to explain my behavior when I crashed on Tuesday, and she said "I didn't know that you were that bad".

One person said "you are a real trooper", but that was relative to my teaching schedule ... I think.

I talked with my mom about the last two comments, and we came to the conclusion that a) I'm really lucky to still be alive afte the car accident that started all this crap (a long story I think I posted once, maybe other day).

b) I'm a heck of a lot better off than my father was at the same age.

I have just acknowledged though, that if you lose weight while you are a diabetic, someday you are going to get low, and I need to stop stressing over it, and let the lows happen. I've been running a tad higher than I should blood sugar wise and not using the temporary basal enough.
