Welcome to my world. I'm not as fun...Hi Jann!! Welcome to my world. I'm not as funny as Suzette but I try to write something worth reading!!<br /><br />I've been a type 1 diabetic for 37 years. Belive it or not, I can look at food and know how much insulin to take (I'm right about 95% of the time). With this eating adventure, I shared just about everthing so ate only half of most of it. The chocolate covered bacon was gross so that went into the garbage!! The cookie fondue was all mine but my blood sugar was so low then that I even had to eat something else after that.<br /><br />I do wear an insulin pump now (as of almost 3 years ago). I wear it becuase I have too many low blood sugars (and can't recognize them). This helps with the type of eating done at the fair. Just a quick touch on the pump and I'd deliver a bit of insulin. I also took very little insulin at the fair. We did so much walking that my blood sugar was generally very low. I checked it about every 45 minutes.<br /><br />Now that you have my life story, feel free to ask any other questions (I'm going to set up a "bolg e-mail address" soon as well)!! I'm not always right on time answering my comments but I try to get back to everyone in a day or two.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17846082820004153424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840280641742609623.post-7709917525083863042011-08-28T10:53:00.473-05:002011-08-28T10:53:00.473-05:00Liz ...

I found your site through your tweets on Cripes Suzette's Twitter.<br /><br />While enjoying reading your blogspot posts about the State Fair and the food you tried ... I kept thinking to myself, "Boy, she is fortunate that she is not diabetic." (I am a new diabetic and think that about anyone eating anything that I cannot! My mind goes wacko watching "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives".) <br /><br />Then I read on your ABOUT ME that you <b>are</b> diabetic. So, two questions ... (1) Did you just eat a bite of each thing? (2) How did you control your blood sugar while taking this food adventure?<br /><br />I like your writing style and will continue checking your posts.Jannhttp://www.sweetaspirations.com/journal.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840280641742609623.post-62091008712827356182011-08-23T12:15:32.546-05:002011-08-23T12:15:32.546-05:00Nicole - I'm not a fan of maple syrup but I re...Nicole - I'm not a fan of maple syrup but I really liked the sundae.

Sound wonderful to me. And the Maple Bacon Sundae I'm sure would be something I like, being a fan of pancakes with peanut butter and syrup, with bacon on the side.Rickinoreply@blogger.com
