I'm lucky enough that my Grammie is still alive. She has been living with diabetes for 60 years! Diagnosed as type one at age 15. When Amy was diagnosed she took it the hardest, blaming herself. Oddly enough, Amy was diagnosed on Feb 8, and my Grammie was Feb 9 so many years earlier. It's strange to say that I was comforted by them bonding over their diabetes.Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12564475689407901400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235328067796621785.post-69903186975776155322013-07-22T18:00:35.624-04:002013-07-22T18:00:35.624-04:00Is it weird to want to say "what a nice story...Is it weird to want to say "what a nice story"? Because diabetes and insulin shot aren't really "nice" but I loved the pictures you painted with your words. And also, I remember my mom rolling my insulin vials in the palms of her hands and the clicking against her wedding band too. I think it was the cloudy NPH insulin she used to need to roll. Thanks for the memories.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853213615426205881noreply@blogger.com
