With you too, sabby. All the way. Mrs. Ygrec has been diabetic for 25 years. If you're good about it and don't try to wish it away you'll do fine. Think of all the things you wouldn't dream of doing: dancing in the middle of a busy six-lane highway, driving drunk, shooting up heroin, stabbing the lady in the dry cleaners, dialling 911 and telling them you left a bomb at Walgreens. You know. Not doing proper diabetes care just has to be one of those things. And real people do it! Not super people! Not just weirdly ubermenschen! You have to get your weight down, and get your morning glucose down to 100 or so, and watch your diet like a hawk. You know all these things. And like a normal human being you resent the hell out of them. Why should I have to do that? Ask Gabby Giffords! Ask the child who's had meningitis! Or the bystander who's been run over by a car!

Bad things happen. Trite. A cliche. But oh so true. And there will still be plenty of good things happening in your life. This doesn't end it! Take the best possible care of yourself, hon.
