It&#8217;s so easy to get swept away with inspiration. It feels like there is a big, empty year out there waiting to be filled!

Personally, I prefer to administer my own flu shots &#8212; pain for me is less scary if I&#8217;m in control of it. I&#8217;m pretty used to this because I take insulin directly into my shoulder when my blood glucose is high.

&#8220;Self-discipline?&#8221; Self-discipline sounds so remarkably un-saucy. In fact, it seems downright counter to happiness&#8230; a recipe to steal my &#8220;mojo,&#8221; rain on my parade, and turn me into some kind of cheerless robot. I want to do what I want to do, when I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hypoglycemia probably causes me more day-to-day suffering and frustration with diabetes than anything else. It triggers a cascade of counter-regulatory or &#8220;stress hormones&#8221; - adrenaline, cortisol, epinephrine - activated by our &#8220;fight or flight&#8221; reflex when something really bad happens. &#8220;Yikes!&#8221;, my body responds.

I was eating like a cross between a chipmunk and a bear, given the five or so low-carb options in our food stash.  Night five I was ready for a change.
I took my insulin and tucked into a BALANCE BAR like a starved hyena. With 20g of carb, [...]]]></description>

My mountain bike trip from Telluride, CO to Moab, UT (almost) was as spectacular as it was uncomfortable.  11,000 foot views. Huge descents and climbs. Great company. Strep throat and food poisoning.  Not quite the story of triumph I hoped to bring back, but a great lesson for me.

If, &#8220;We are what we repeatedly do&#8230;&#8221; as Aristotle said, then it&#8217;s no surprise that habits shape our lives.
If we don&#8217;t choose our habits consciously, the worst ones may have a profound impact on our health outcomes as diabetics. Many risk factors can be controlled by [...]]]></description>
