Vacation

Diabetes doesn't take a vacation, but I do. Here on vacation my lovely, trusty little laptop died, just after I loaded 100 pictures into it and deleted them from my camera. *sigh* So I'm on a family member's computer, and will beg a friend for help with my dead laptop when I get home.

Diabetes has touched this vacation in ways other than our daily life. A family friend was hospitalized for blood sugar at 800+ (type 2) when her oral meds stopped working. I visited her, along with my mother in law. Hospital smells, hospital flashbacks, finger sticks & ivs.

I hope to be back online soon. Hope everyone had a lovely Independence Day!

    I hope your family friend is doing better. Hospitals are no fun. The only place I dislike more are nursing homes. :(
    And good luck with the laptop.

    Thanks everyone! Our friend is better and on insulin now for her T2. My laptop is still dead. I have to find a good computer doctor. I love the freedom of a laptop and use it more than the standalone computer. But beggars can't be choosers!

    Hi Naomi!

    I hope your break has been a good one.

    I found this website and thought of you since it's a site for gluten free recipes and wasn't sure if you knew about it:

    I just happened upon the peach coffee cake, but the other recipes look really good!

    Ooooh Shannon -- just in time. I just bought a huge pile of peaches at our local farm & need to cook up about half of them! Thanks!
