I’m type 11 diabetic and insulant resistant.
I’m type 11 diabetic and INSULIN resistant. Oops.

The once a week vitamn D is a prescribed vitamin and is usually closely monitored by the Dr. :)
Do you mean type 1 or is there another type 11 I don’t know about?
I’m a type two diabetic, adult onset, insulin resistant. I am now on insulin but began in 1983 on pills. Nothing ever worked, so they put me on insulin about ten years ago, I think.
That should take care of the resistance. Sorry you had to do that, it sure isn’t a fun thing to have to do.I’m a type 1 and have been on daily injections since August of 1970 when I was 9 yo so can sympathize. Just in September I got my first insulin pump. It’s really nice and so much less restrictive so if you have good insurance and your Dr thinks it would be benefical talk to him/her about how they work and if it would be a good thing for you. :)
My grandson is on the pump. He’s a juvenile diabetic but doesn’t take very good care of himself. He has a lot of other problems, sigh. The pump has been very good for him. Thank you for your suggestion.
“So what else is new? There’s a lot of anger here on FR lately.”
I think a lot of people are feeling stressed these days. Even if we are prepared and aware of the difficulties that seem to be hitting us daily, I still think it stresses us out. The anger might be coming from such a situation.
Well, if you read the articles here and listen to Glenn Beck, as I did for a few minutes tonight, I can certainly understand why people are stressed out. We’re living in pretty frightening times with a communist in the White House giving up (no) hope and change every day. Don’t know where it all will end.
That is very interesting. I hope the doctor continues to monitor his vitamin D level, in case his declines as my daughter’s did. It makes you wonder if some people are less able to store D than others. I keep pestering my daughter to go out in the sun more and to take extra D.
I hope your husband continues to do well.
Your tagline sums it up pretty well, though. We just have to keep reminding ourselves of it. I know my stress has gone up and I can feel it in my shoulders and see it in my blood sugar levels some days. I guess I’m letting it get to me a bit, and darn it, sometimes I find a piece of chocolate helps (the stress, not the sugar). LOL There is some good information posted on this thread which I will have to talk to my doctor about next visit.
