Because I Can Be Incredibly Annoying

I emailed every major newspaper in my state about World Diabetes Day with a simple message and link to press information.

And I'll do it again tomorrow, and the next day and, well, you get the idea.

Last year, I didn't see anything in Michigan media about World Diabetes Day. Maybe I missed it, but I was looking and didn't see it so that leads me to believe that people not looking had no idea what was going on.

I'm on a mission!

You can help. Send emails to

Pat Anstett, Medical writer, panstett@freepress.com
Kim Kozlowski, Health & Social Services, kkozlowski@detnews.com

or send an email to your local paper. Most newspapers have links on their websites to submit news tips or press release information.

A sample of the email I sent is in the comments.

Have I Ever Mentioned

that my borrowed islets love me when I don't eat?

Really, its like magic. I stay between 90-110 if I don't eat for more then 10hrs. It's been 22hrs since I had a meal or a snack and voila! perfection!

2hrs postprandial I was 207
10hrs later 112
ever since 98, 104, 96 and now 91.

I think I finally figured it out.

now to find a way to get rid of those annoying hunger pangs.

celery, mmmm....

When There's Nothing To Say

Sing.



Green Bean likes this song (me too). It's by Julia Nunes.

Bean is still nakid because he's a neurotic little bugger. His head looks huge, his belly is nakid, he only has one tail feather left and I used my cell phone to record the video. So yeah, its crap,

enjoy.

Random Entertainment for the Week 9/19

I'm late, sorry. I had pressing family matters to attend to like having frosted cupcake fights with my 7yr old niece (she won and I was covered in blue frosting) and playing Beach Ball Volleyball in the back yard with the 5yr old.

good times.

so here it is. something edumacatshunal this time...

Return to Normal

I used to have a friend that lived on Normal Street in Ann Arbor. It was the most ironcial type place for that crayzee chick to live.

but I digress...

My islets have returned to a nice state of normal again.

We'll see how long it lasts. I'm not complaining, really, I'm not. My internal organs and variously effected by elevated blood sugars type tissues are happy as happy can be.

Its my brain that's the skeptic.

I return to Chicago for my quarterly blood drain and doctor visit in two weeks. We'll see what the lab and a1c have to say about it all...

yaychicago! I hope you're dried out by then.
