Today it is freezing rain outside and lots of colds, but not flu yet.
All bad news on the news...gotta stop watching.
You see, it is hard to put things into perspective from our news. And one sided bad reports don't help.
We just heard one of our elderly diabetics died. He was working up to last summer, and refused to go on insulin while working, so for the last four years his blood sugar was averaging in the mid to high 200's...finally, he quit, partly because his foot ulcer wouldn't heal and kept get infected.
We place him on insulin, but then he got low blood sugar when he got pneumonia and ended up in the hospital...then a stroke, then he lost his foot, and now he died...
Diabetes is a lousy disease...
