I...Oh Meri, I'm so glad you posted about this. I knew the story (since I don't mind admitting that I'm the paranoid low loser lady that everyone hates - LOL), but I so admire you for telling the whole story on your blog so others can learn what you learned. It also made me realize I have so so much more I need to blog and share. Sometimes I forget how important something can be - even something that seems an unimportant as feeling paranoid during a low. Thank you for reminding me that I need to do a better job of sharing!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836215891806148229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-68140804466737731822011-08-17T11:48:12.383-07:002011-08-17T11:48:12.383-07:00Man.

I guess I have to bump Reyna up to the top of my 'D-idol' worship list. ;)<br /><br />The reminder of not getting too comfortable is the reason you will remain on the top of my lovely list, Miss Mmmmmeeerrrriiii; because you always end your writing with a fabulous point and realization.<br /><br />As much as I want you to be a D-superhero, you fly way above that when you share your struggles and realities. THAT is why I adore you.<br /><br />Now, go throw that boy in the back in the water!!!!!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02826248976364694184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-5833089779513141792011-08-17T01:31:59.815-07:002011-08-17T01:31:59.815-07:00I'm so glad to hear that you decided to do mor...I'm so glad to hear that you decided to do more lessons. Likewise, you should realize that you didn't do anything wrong, this disease isn't linear. Nothing is obvious, but you still caught it-you treated it and went so far as to ask other people with diabetes how they feel when low. I am glad L is ready to jump back in and that you're willing to share this story with all of us, too.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210820513382353417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-85228363126792359572011-08-16T19:14:39.306-07:002011-08-16T19:14:39.306-07:00Oh, Meri!
