I repeat what I said before, I will beat this beast. However, I never said I didn't show it proper fear. Hehehe.

I am the only Type 1 in my family. We have lots of T2's, but none that are on insulin. I'm having to learn this all from scratch. Remember, I did a ton of study about Type 2, because that's what I was diagnosed as originally. Now, I'm learning about Type 1, and all the blessings that come with it (I'm not joking, I consider it a blessing to be T1, not T2, because again, I don't have to deal with medications). Shots are easy. You barely feel it when you poke yourself (heck, it hurts me more to stick the finger, than it does to take my insulin).

I am only worried about going low when I'm alone. Since my doc has allowed me to go at will on my insulin (carb counting), my control, even in the past few days, has been tight... very tight. So, who knows, maybe I can lose the fear, and just keep it as a healthy respect.

Anyway, I'm rambling again. You all tend to get me to do that. Hehehe.

I occasionally miss smoking. The sensation of missing doesn't last long, because I most definitely do not miss waking up feeling like I was going to choke on my own mucous. I can breathe, freely and deeply, without coughing. I love it. Tomorrow, I past 90 days, which means it's also the 3 month mark. I really look forward to the 100th day. I'll celebrate it then.

Regards,
