Interruptions at The Rookery
Did you all see G-Money’s vlog post the other day? The one where he was playing basketball with his family and had to stop because he got low? If not, go watch it now. What we get with this slice…
Of Course I Should Have Known Better – THYROID!
I have been feeling tired again, despite using my CPAP machine every night. My blood sugars have been running high. I’ve been trying to counter that with ever increasing amounts of insulin, without much success. I’ve been gaining weight. I…
Sunday Tags, Part Two – Eight Is Great
I was tagged for this one by both Rachel and Penny (thanks!). I’m not a huge “meme” kind of guy, but figured I should get this one done and out-of-the-way, rather than procrastinate on it (sorry Chris!). Eight things I’m…
Sunday Tags, Part One – Honest Scrap
Chris, from A Consequence of Hypoglycemia, awarded me with a tag a while ago very long time ago and the Honest Scrap award. Thank you Chris! Here’s how it works. I am to tell you 10 things about me…
Making The Same Mistakes
I’ve been wresting with myself the past few days. I did something I knew very well I shouldn’t. In fact I did it three times. And each time I was miserable and scared afterward. And once I was done being…
Who’s Truth is True?
Thank you all for the outpouring of love and support as I crossed my 29th year of living with type 1 diabetes. You all never fail to amaze me with the support you offer. Wendy mentioned that it must have…
29 Years Today
I finally received my discharge records, and now have “My Date”. Saturday, April 26, 1980. That makes today my 29th year of living with type 1 diabetes. First and foremost, I want to thank my dad, who picked up the…
Just a Quick Update – VLOG Style
Wayback Wednesday – That’s All Folks!
Unfortunately I don’t have anymore “un-blogger” blog posts to share. Everything else I have written is online either here or at my old blogger home. I have enjoyed sharing this old stuff with everyone over the past couple of…
Wayback Wednesday – Three Words
Courtesy of the “Wayback Machine“, I bring you the early entries I made in my online diabetes journal. This was back before Blogger made things easy, and I had to write the entries in HTML. The journal is no…
Unraveling and Reraveling
I was recently talking (well, tweeting) with my friend Karen about some of the tough days we all have. Everyone has tough days, but we were specifically talking about how dealing with diabetes can swoop out of nowhere and turn…

Laid Off, Cozmo No More
I have very mixed feelings about this post. One one hand, I am going to share with everyone some things that I have not been comfortable sharing before. I am happy and excited about that. On the other hand, one…

Opposite Now?
Since I posted on Thursday how I have been running high, I have swung back to the other side, and suddenly my insulin has become super charged. I fought lows through almost the whole weekend. It seems all I have…
Things Are Changing?
And as usual I have many more questions than answers, and am more than intimidated by the task(s) of figuring my way through it. I have been using an insulin pump for somewhere between 11 and 12 years (I think). …

Back to Basketball!
I posted about a week ago how I had not been feeling into my routine basketball. I made a half-assed attempt at going back last week, but still wasn’t really feeling it. I made it back to the YMCA today,…
