For fun, lets make up a story and each person that comes along adds on to it..But let's make sure that type1 characters are brought in somewhere :) So I'll start off with... Early one Spring Morning a baby girl was born and she was named.....
Stinkycheeks! She really didn't smell bad... her parents just had a cruel sense of humor.
She liked apples very much, especially honeycrisps and golden delicious ones. She practiced giving injections to the apples before she ate them, though the saline solution she used made them taste rather pickled.
so one morning the little girl and her family walked upon a door the father knocked and a skinny old man answered the door and said "Hello how are you?" The mother replyed fine but very hungry. The little girl asked the man if he had any honeycrisps or apples? The little old man said no but i will be going to the store in a little while and i will pick up some honeycrisps, apples and milk because they both were his faveorite and he was out of milk. The father asked where the store was and offered to go and get the things the man needed while the wife, gril and boy stayed there and the cabbin..................
smelled of insulin and a doctors office. The wife, girl, boy, and man sat down at the kitchen table. The man told a story about a magical place called Juvination...
Stinkycheeks and her older brother Smellybelly listened in awe as the old man described Juvenation. It was a land where....
Everyone, young and old, had Type 1 diabetes, or were either related to or knew someone who had Type 1 diabetes. They not only all had Type 1, but as you might expect, were all very "sweet" people.
Sadly, her family had no computer, so they couldn't find this Juvenation place...
So they traveled to their Aunt's house to use her computer. When they went to Juvenation they found..
people talking about...insulin pumps, cgms, mdi's ..........oh my.....
stinkycheeks was in awe of all the wisdom and silliness being passed around juvenation, but smellybelly was unimpressed. while stinkycheeks sat at the computer for hours, smellybelly would walk away, pouting and saying " hmph...

"what dummies. they need to be eating spinach every day and using my bedside reliever tool! because i've been diabetic for 40 years and all my doctors say they wish everyone was like me. PS. you should buy my book."
i should note that you would have had to be a member last fall (maybe octoberish?) it get my last post...
I have a faint recollection of this. Enough that your post made me chuckle. :)
Hahahaha, that hopefully doesn't happen again, though...
One day, Stinkycheeks yelled "YODEL!" across the street because she saw a yellow German shepherd that she wanted to pet. The dog's amber eyes met hers and...
it was love at first sight :) ....so she took him home and named him.....
pattycakes.
Pattycakes was a perfect match for the family, because like them, he too was T1. He fit in very well with their lifestyle and kept them all very active as they walked him 3 times a day ( making sure of course that they had glucose tablets and sugar water handy just in case ny of them had a low ).
