ARLINGTON – The Six Or Seven Of You Who Still Read This Blog&#153 are probably wondering what I meant by this.&#160 And I’d promised you that I’d tell you exactly what the medical condition was once I got it under control.

Well, that hasn’t happened yet, but I’m gonna tell you anyway.

Since 1995, I’ve been a Type II diabetic – my cell structure doesn’t do a good enough job of absorbing the insulin my pancreas produces; thus, my blood sugar level is somewhat higher than it ought to be.

Through the magic of pills and exercise…well, pills (grin), I’ve managed to keep my blood sugar under control.&#160 For a brief time in the early part of the decade, the Atkins diet had even allowed me to lose enough weight that I’d gone off the medication altogether.

Sweet.&#160 (Pardon the pun.)

However, the last couple of years the diabetes had caught up with me to the point where I had to once again employ prescriptions in order to outpace it.

Now, this turdbucket of a disease has caught up with the prescriptions.&#160 Right now, my blood sugar level is hovering in the 160s and 170s.&#160 Not good.

Am I gonna have to start an insulin regiment not too long hence?&#160 I dunno, but it’s not something to which I’m looking forward, should that be the case.

Will keep you updated.&#160 As always, watch this space, and thanks for stopping by.

    Spats,
    As always, my prayers are with you.

    Keep us posted, and for goodness sake, get your blood sugar under control!

  2. Spats,
    I’ll be praying for you. My dad died of complications from diabetes last year, after being in and out of the hospital for a year and a half, and losing a leg to it. At some point, I’m sure I’ll be where you are. I’m sorry to hear you’re battling it. I know how much fun it isn’t.

  3. og says:

    In my prayers as always, Spats. Hope you can get this back under control.

    Best of luck, m’lord. It runs in my family. I may get there someday, if I live long enough. At 41, I’m making it so far. Hope things turn out as well as may be.

Mozilla Firefox doesn't do too badly, either; in fact, it's His Rudeness' browser of choice.
