On my "diaversary" (anniversary of being diagnosed) a few weeks ago, I got a message on my facebook account. It was from a Mommy of another diabetic. She had seen my post in a parents of diabetics group we both belong too. I know, I know, I'm not a parent of a diabetic, but the owner of the group asked me to join when she saw me on a different diabetes group. Anyways, this group is amazing. I have truly noticed myself taking better care of my diabetes since joining. Even though I don't know any of these people personally, we all "know" each other and talk constantly. Back to the message I got. This Mommy, we will call her "A", sent a quick message introducing herself and telling me about her son "R" who is 3. He was diagnosed a year ago (his diaversary is the day after mine!) so we were very similar in ages when we were diagnosed. We hit it off INSTANTLY. You know the saying "love at first sight?" well, this was "friendship at first message." Hah! We talk quite often, have tons of things in common (other than diabetes). Its nice to have that person you can just got to you know? We love so many of the same things (hello designer purses), our clothing style in similar, we both have 2 sons, our husbands annoy us for the same reasons, and we both have great relationships with our husbands at the same time LOL. We both go shopping when our hubbies go out on boys nights out. We are both from Canada, have both lived in Europe, both are stay at home mommies too. We love doing art with our kids, both wish we had a daughter, sigh... Anyways, we really hit it off and its awesome!
Back to the main reason of this post Krista, come on... Hah. So the other day "A" put a picture on facebook about "R"'s blood sugar. His was 34. Eek. The next day, I was 35. Twinkies! I thought about letting it go one unit lower so we would have been the same, but that was the diabetes thinking. I quickly had some milk and was pretty well back to normal! Oh the joys of diabetes...
