Welcome to my Diabetes...my Diabetes BLOG, that is

I'm guessing most of you have come here from my other blog . Of course, that is assuming that there is anyone out there. Anyway, regardless, I'm glad to see you and hope that you find this more entertaining and informative than grating and pathetic.

I am starting this blog because I'm so good at keeping up with my other one.

Yes, I'm full of shit.

At this point, I want to be able to talk about all of the D stuff without boring anyone who doesn't find it interesting. Um, most of the time I bore myself with this stuff. But it's where I am right now.

When I figure out how to set up my profile properly, I will cover all of this stuff official like, but for the moment I will just give you all the heads up. Most people who blog about this sort of thing represent the community well. I have so much respect for all of the bloggers out there who speak so bravely and eloquently about their experience with diabetes, and other chronic illnesses. However, I not only do not claim to represent well, I disavow any attempt to represent at all. I am one diabetic, one who may or may not be like other diabetics. I say inappropriate things using inappropriate words sometimes. My purpose is not to offend anyone, but I won't apologize for telling the truth. That may involve the word fuck and its various dirivitives. You have fair warning.

I am much more than my diabetes. But it is still a very large part of my life, especially given how new I am to it. Maybe this blog will be a fleeting thing, maybe it will turn into an all-consuming obsession.

Here's to hoping it's somewhere in between...
