Giggled into the madness of usenet:
Again thinking back, I'm sure that if you've got some really sweet
class schedule set up that you don't want to spoil it. BUT eating
lunch at school, while it may not be your idea of cool, will let you
have some self-confidence that your bg's are pointed in the right
direction in mid-day rather than just hoping for the best.

amber's decision not to eat lunch at school had nothing to do with
being cool.
Well, I tried to listen to her decision and make sense of it, but I
failed. Obviously my small head.
I mean, I went back and forth between being banned from testing my bg
at school and being allowed according to the whim of the school
administration and the teacher. She gets to choose what she wants to
do and the school will even help her implement the decision, and she's
even allowed (this was unthinkable in my time) to take insulin at
school. Why she wouldn't structure things so she doesn't have to go so
long between breakfast and lunch is something I do not yet understand.
Tim.
I don't agree with her. But it had nothing to do with being cool.
Well, I myself have changed some of my opinions over the past 25 years
about how I manage things myself. I used to think that if I was asked
to accomodate some arbitrary schedule then I'd test and change doses
and take shots and do whatever necessary to meet somebody else's idea
of convenient. But I've done that long enough that I know that some
schedules are a pain in the rear and others are easier for me and my
stupid disease to accomodate, and I'll express my opinion a lot more
readily.
It's great that we have tools and can rearrange our dosing to
accomodate bizarre schedules. It is empowering to make bg measurements
as often as we need to accomodate the bizarre schedules. But I have
very slowly (remember, I don't catch on quick) realized that if I can
make bizarre schedules the exception rather than the rule, I come out
way ahead.
It's great that we can carry glucose tablets around and react to
hypos. But I'm trying to be less reactionary and doing more
forethought and planning so that I don't have the hypo to begin with.
Much of my realization about me, my life, and my place in the world is
heaped on in what I'm urging Amber to do. In that respect I'm saying
that I've made some stupid decisions in the past and I'd rather do the
smart thing from now on, and I'm talking more about me than about
Amber!
Tim.
