Time marches on!

I am absolutely thrilled that Obama is our president elect. After listening to Charlie Rose today, I pray for him and hope he can cope with all the memos he is getting about these complicated problems involving energy, the economy, education. ( Those are only the ones beginning with an "e".) What a job he has ahead of him. Thank God, he is young and smart.

My glucose monitor was malfunctioning, and I didn't know it. My glucose readings were higher than ordinary, so I gave myself more insulin. Without understanding why, I was getting dizzy, losing my memory, sweating, and feeling nauseous. I was experiencing strange feelings of resentment, anger, real paranoia. Wow! Now I know how it feels to be on
mind- altering drugs. It is really scarey to learn how close one can get to being demented, simply by an overdose of insulin. It is all being taken care of with a new monitor, and I vow never to take more insulin unless I confer with Dr. Panebianco.
May this be a warning to all diabetics on insulin.
