We went to my second Diabetes Education class tonight at the hospital. Tonight - it was all about me. I was the only one there (well, not the only one... Carol came with to learn and support).
So, since I was the only one, it was one-on-one education all night, so it was a bit intense. And long. And draining.
Did I learn more? Oh, yes.
Like the realization that once you diagnosed with diabetes, that's it - you are a diabetic. You may have everything under control, thus forcing your blood sugars within "normal range", but all that it means is that it's "under control". Once you've been diagnosed, you don't "get rid" of diabetes. You have it for life. There is no cure.
What's scary is that no one know why it happens.
No one knows how you as an individual will progress with the disease, how many complications you may get, how many will impact your life significantly.
So, education is a good thing.
It's the First Day of the Month, again, and according to meme tradition..., you better say "Rabbit, Rabbit!" as your first words of the day to have good luck! (Now, if you blew it, before you go to sleep tonight, to still try to gain luck, your last words have to be "Tibbar! Tibbar!")
I'll tell you, we all got lucky with Indy... I can't believe that her health "issues" this week were due to dental problems.
Oh, and for other derivitives to this meme, check out the alternatives: "White Rabbit" or Rabbit! Rabbit! Rabbit!.
...and why the hell am I up so early?....
