SITREP - frogs
Marius,
“. . . therefore the implication is, if things go wrong, it’s because the
person who had diabetes did something wrong. It’s the disease that’s the
problem, not the person.”
HA! I fooled ya! The above is another *snippet* from my BASH booklet. HOW,
dear, dear, dear, SIR (with ALL due and more respect) e-Bud, can we ever
help you??? Sumpin’ is goin’ on witchyer bod. Of course, I won’t use your
name, but I’m going to ask a CDE from another list who, herself, is a Type 2
what this all means. Okay?

Well, he’s wrong. It’s INtolerance - meaning NOT tolerating the insulin. If
it were tolerance, your body would be able to utilize it. At one time our
*gas* trucks had signs on the back saying, “Inflammable.* *In-* means *not.*
So someone brought the fact to the governments attention because that meant
the gas was no able to be *flamed* or burned. Now hazardous material that
burns are marked *flammable.* So, if you were insulin tolerant, you could
tolerate it. Therefore, he meant to say INtolerant - your body may not be
tolerating it.

Marius,
One reply I got was questioning the quality of your insulin. How fresh is it
and is it refrigerated. It IS hot there, isn’t it? Also, remember the pen
story on the list? I know you use them. Try using syringes (yes, many, many
people reuse their own syringes — I do/did until they got/get fishhooks on
the tips). Lay off the pen for a few days and see if that helps.

Do you use only Actrapid? Maybe you need a longer-acting insulin — one that
sustains you longer.

BOY are YOU in for it now! Not just Glory!! Saying you should have known M
was wrong. (tee hee). But yes, it is intolerance. Ask Joanie (otherouts from
the other list). I remember that convo from before - it was M then, too.

Gail,
Several posts back, Marius told me not to tell him the frogs in hot water
story — because his BGs run so high. So I fooled him and didn’t give it to
him. The story (truth) is, if you put a frog in boiling water it will jump
out immediately. BUT, if you put them in a pan of cool water you can boil
them to death by gradually raising the water temp. They cook without knowing
it. In essence, that’s what Marius is doing to his bod with the high BGs.
Jan (do you suppose we should call him *prince* [frog] instead of SIR?)

That also sounds like a dog’s name. <gr
