Comments on: “I’m Fine, If You Don’t Want the Details” http://www.diabetesmine.com/2009/07/im-fine-if-you-dont-want-the-details.html A gold mine of straight talk and encouragement for people living with diabetes Sat, 13 Mar 2010 18:45:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: jordan shoes http://www.diabetesmine.com/2009/07/im-fine-if-you-dont-want-the-details.html/comment-page-1#comment-398463 jordan shoes Tue, 13 Oct 2009 08:33:53 +0000 http://www.diabetesmine.com/?p=8621#comment-398463 Loved your article. And your Grandmother was absolutely correct…the other day I actually told someone how I really was when they asked and about shocked the pants off them. They did not want to hear that I had gained weight since going on insulin and even more since going on the pod, they did not want to hear that I had a super low after lunch the day before and I really worried if I could get myself out of it for the first time, they did not want to know that I cannot seem to find the right balance in my basal amounts and still go high and low, and low and high, at the least change in the day…. Since then when asked “how I am”, I simply say “I’m fine, unless you want to hear the gritty details”…and so far I have had no “takers”. Loved your article.

You must be good in managing and controlling your diabetes. There are hundreds, if not thousands of others who do not know how to manage their own ailment. The bad news is, there are millions of others who show symptoms of type 2 diabetes and yet their fasting blood sugar counts hover in the above normal but just below the range that classify them as diabetic. Unfortunately, many of them do not know that what they have is a condition known as <a href="http://www.body-detox-and-you.com/Prediabetes.html" rel="nofollow">prediabetes</a>.

Unfortunately, many of them do not know that what they have is a condition known as prediabetes.

And grandparents, while you have them, can be the most wonderful sources of inspiration and love. Thanks for sharing.
