Diabetes in reverse, and it'll kill you just as surely in the end, it just takes longer sometimes... and less time others. 'Cos it goes away, you see, it hides deep down until you think it's gone and you forget about it, forget to watch out, to take care...

...then suddenly you wake up on the floor, a knot on your head, wondering why the world won't hold still and why you feel like throwing up but you HAVE to eat something or you'll die.

I've been reading up on it again, I came across this site, which seems full of useful information. I also wandered through here... much fun. I'm going to really have to watch myself for a while, eating constantly but in small doses, lots of healthy stuff, no more soda - this, to the girl who downs a good 3-6 cans of coke a day - no more sugars. No more potatoes. No more bread, unless it's whole-grain or rye. Ick.

I've fainted three times so far this morning, though. I don't think I can safely ignore this. I don't dare.

Please, don't mention foods or snacks around me for a while, I'll be somewhat touchy on the subject. It's going to be miserable.

And if I'm forgetting things, please bear with me, email me or leave a note or sign the guestbook or something to remind me. I am having a hard time remembering things like my own name and whether I'm sitting or standing right now. *shivers* This is decidedly unpleasant.

Anyway... signing out for a while... don't forget me while I'm wandering...
