Kayla, i love it that you choose to war with positivity, with courage, with laughter....with everything that opposes even the idea of diabetes much less the reality. you are amazing, encouraging, and a delight to follow!!Stephanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191128400524019706.post-31776520640598958162012-12-21T05:32:52.406-05:002012-12-21T05:32:52.406-05:00You are not even respectful enough to respond to r...You are not even respectful enough to respond to reader comments. You have poser diabetes. You drove yourself to your family doctor on the day you were dx’d and then sat there for hours while retards are us figured out what to do? then you drove yourself to the hospital. WTAF ?? You should not even qualify for pump funding because it sounds like you have LADA. In the US, they do c-peptide testing before they will pay for a pump and yours would definitely be too high at the moment. When you are dx’d with type 1 you are in DKA or at the very least have ketones. You think diabetes is hard to manage now, try it on for size in five years <br />You sound like a tard at times, in one entry you wrote one entry where you were high all day and it never even occurred to you to change your set or take a shot. When you do progress to real diabetes that kind of stupidity is going to land you in the ICU, and when you do progress to real diabetes you are going to have super high A1C’s unless you wake up. Do you even have more than one basal rate? <br />LADA is a form of type 1, but for now, you just have poser diabetes. I doubt you have the marks to get into teacher’s college in Canada except maybe in moose shit falls. You can be like all the other cheaters and go in the states.<br />Anyways it looks like you could stand to spill some ketones, but I bet you couldn’t spill a ketone to save your life. Since you are dumb at times, I will spell it out for you ketones are the ashes of fat metabolism. And it looks like some fat metabolism would be helpful in your case.<br />And to be honest you kind of detract from your credibility when you have this need to bedazzle us with cleavage in every picture. You looked pretty in your pictures with brown hair when you were 1st dx’d and skinny. The blonde hair does not look nice at all in comparison. I doubt you get good grades. Teaching is for people in social sciences with good grades. Your writing is okay but for someone who professes an interest in writing you make odd mistakes – “per say “LOL<br />Honestly, I think you like having diabetes, and you are an attention junkie. Have you ever even asked anyone if bleach blonde hair suits you? To me the only explanation for the hair is you like negative attention. For the record people do perceive blondes to me dumb. It is like you want to be perceived to be dumb. Spill some ketones over Christmas break and lose some weight the chubbiness and the bleach blonde hair is not working for you. I bet you never get the “you have diabetes but you’re so thin line. “<br /><br />you're pretty thin and good looking compared to Scott K. Johnson though. and your hair is way nicer Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191128400524019706.post-78111854565300333052012-12-19T14:10:08.281-05:002012-12-19T14:10:08.281-05:00Yep, we're in a pretty tough time of year for ...Yep, we're in a pretty tough time of year for blood sugar management.
