Nevermind. I stopped being funny and switched to just bitching non-stop back when Reagan was President. Good thing I died before I had to complain about someone who wasn’t white. Hating all of white America that wasn’t New York was my only bit since the 80’s.

And my ponytail sucked too.

Noooooo….. ok, so now that I seem like a huge creepy stalker since you have no idea who I am, ( I’ve only ever commented once before because living in Finland means that by the time I get to the lols the discussion is over), but I _like_ reading your comments….

Hypoglycemia (which I must control) is low blood sugar; its pair is hyperglycemia – too much blood sugar. The latter is what most people think of with diabetes, though both hyper- and hypo- are symptoms of sugar-to-insulin irregularities.

My advice is to cut out as much simple sugars as possible, and definately avoid processed sugar. Switch to whole grains. Eat more meat. (‘Sides, there’s nothing sensual about eating a candy bar, but eating an overripe pear — or having/making someone feed you one — is almost pornographic.)

Regarding the headaches: there is a point between index and thumb (Hegu) that you can squeeze ’till the pain wells up, then relax. There is another point on the thumb side of the wrist; find it by touching the thumb-forefinger web together; it’ll be where the index finger touches on your wrist. A ballpoint pen (with cap) is good for stimulating this point. One more point that I can remember is between middle- and ring toes on the top of the foot.

It’s sounding like we’re talking about hypoglycemia rather than diabetes. Related stuff, still comes down to blood sugar levels not under proper control, but hypoglycemia is less dangerous. My father-out-law, ex and daughter all have it, and all control it by watching their diet and getting enough protein to nail the carbs into place and eating regularly enough to keep blood sugar from getting low enough to make them irrational. If you notice you get severely snarly and a little stupid when you’re really hungry, and also that your sugar highs are a bit out of proportion, that’s probably what you’re looking at.

The most memorable symptom when a close friend developed insulin dependent diabetes was that before she was diagnosed she was ALWAYS thisrty……

Diabetes isn’t sex-linked, so it could come from either side.
And off blood sugar could affect the mood (low blood sugar turns me into a zombie, and I don’t have diabetes!) Worth having it checked.
If it were present, but kept in control, you’ll be having Ly–oops, I mean having fun, way into your elderly years!

You never watched Carlin, I take it. Somehow I doubt the inventor of the “Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television” list would find much of anything tacky, never mind this.
He’d be laughing his rump off.

My dad had undiagnosed Type 1. They didn’t realize it until he was in his 30’s. How he managed to live that long is a mystery. He should have died. Type 2 tends to come on later……

Well so far it went from Father to Daughter with my mom and grandpa but she didn’t come down with it and neither did he until a bit later in life so I am dreading midthirties and forty and beyond for that reason alone, let alone all the other aging crap.

As for my treatment of servers, I have been known to hunt them down or pointedly ask managers where my drinks are.

I’ve heard both, but in my family it’s pretty much been linked to the paternal line almost exclusively. It went from my dad to my sister, but she was told she’s not really in danger of passing it along.

If you think about it, there’s probably an evolutionary advantage to getting cranky and snarly when your blood sugar’s low. It’s your body telling you to go kill something and eat it, already.

Of course as I’ve been known to say to servers who were slow with my drink refills, “I’m getting dehydrated. You wouldn’t like me when I’m dehydrated….” :glowers at waiter: Fortunately, I do tip well.

You might check out the diabetes thing, but just remember, it’s a sex-linked gene that comes from your dad.

DeathWyrmNexus — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 19:58:00 +0000

My mom and grandpa are both diabetic and I haven’t been tested in a while though I never get anything close to their food reactions so I might have some crappy lite version of diabetes so who knows. I just know that my mood can tank very badly if I am hungry.

Kuromisa: Just doing my little part. I plan on some discipline and ropes tonight too but Lynn doesn’t know about the ropes yet. She might read it here but I doubt it.

If I don’t go to church on Christmas day I won’t he
ar the minister’s address. I won’t take time to honour the true meaning of Christmas. I won’t see the people I’ve grown up with; the women who gave me sweets and stories as a child, the men who call me “hen” and lend me old copies of “animal farm”, the teens I played with when I was 4, the kids who sit on my knee. A church is far more than a “building and words”.
.
Anyway I spend the afternoon with my biological family, eating roast potatoes and listening to my Granny’s fascist politics….

@DWN: O///O See, now that’s better! ^_^

@DWN and ema: Same here; I always get really irritable and sarcastic when I’m hungry. Then, as soon as I have some food in my system, I’m all better! Blood sugar problems, I think. My aunt’s the same way.

Ah! Your diet affects your mood? You need to look at that, you could have sugar sensitivities like I do. Srsly.
