Diabetes Information

Yvette and anyone else who doesn’t know or could care a little;
My 50th anniversary of DX for DM will be 11/5/50. A HALF CENTURY!!! I’m
planning a BASH = Bawling, Amazed (that anyone would care), Sincerity, and
Humor. This will be on 11/4/00. I went into a coma on a Sunday and this
year matches 1950. So Saturday is the day to commemorate. I have a list of
invitees and am making a booklet of my diary pages over the period of the
coma and hosp. stay, including a great article on depression, and warning
signs of DM, as well as treatment of hypoglycemia/reactions. I figure this
booklet (so far 32 pages (full sheets folded in half - printed both sides; 1
sheet = 4 pgs) will be a good educational tool for those who think DM is a
dietary inconvenience. It also includes pump testimonials and it is a combo
observance for our 40th wedding anniversary. So I’ll print that info
upsidedown from the backside.
I’m going to display my *museum* of the evolution of diabetes products I
began with in 1950. I have *met* on the ‘net many people who have taken/or

take 4-7 injections a day. For 30 years I had only one shot of NPH/Regular a
day. Therefore, many people with far fewer years have had many more shots
than I. I will have a table display with these items identified with large
lettering and covered with a clear plastic tablecloth so souvenir
collectors - won’t.
