What type are you? Or you can write that you have a friend or relative with diabetes.
I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 1985, when I was 7 years old.
What is your blood sugar right now?
Higher than it should be but lower than it used to be.
What was your funniest diabetic moment? If you never had a low, tell us something funny that happend to you.
The funniest low moment was the night of my high school graduation. My parents took me out to dinner. I ordered a dish I would never have ordered if all my mental faculties were working. My parents knew it -- but they figured I was trying something new for graduation. Needless to say -- I did not enjoy my dinner that night. Thanks hypo!

Hey, saw your most recent video on Lantus and Beta cell mortality. First, I take Lantus, and agree 100% that it is a very harsh mistrss..
But, I am skeptical on the PH of the lantus causing very big problems. I can see lots of the other parts being less than healthful over the long term but the PH. Not to much worry there. Average humans are about 55% water. So, my 200 Lbs is 110lbs of water with a PH of 7.4 and 90lbs non water parts. Each day I shoot about 4/10ths of an ounce of Lantus with a PH that is quite low. But, its shot into muscle or more likely fat 8^) So, for some small period of time my PH will drop to 7.39something. Because the rest of me dilutes the low PH Lantus too much and as the day wears on and I drink the tonnes of water and Diet coke I force on myself even when I am not testing high, the dilution is even faster.. I think is I am worried about anything here it is what effect the HCL in the Lantus is having on my Kidneys and or Liver as the bad stuff needs to be processed out somehow. Sadly they have probably not come close to doing the kind of study needed to actually know the answer to that question. It is very nice to not be the only oen around who is distrustful of BigPharmacom.
