i’m the youngest and i gotta say its pretty good! lol
i know exactly how you feel my best friend got married a few months ago and it was so hard! she moved away and we hardly get to see eachother. there is really nothing i can tell you besides that seeing her so happy made it all worthwhile. my best fruiend made a point of introducing me to her chosson before they got engaged and told him how close we are and bh he is a great guy and he understands how we need eachother. we make a point of talking before shabbos and we text all the time just to say hi and we bith know that even tough we dont see eachother we are always thinking about the other. im not gona lie.. its hard but again… just kee p thinking how happy she is and it makes it so much easier!
good luck!!!
i’m terrified of cats- it’s not really weird but i am really afraid of them and i dont really know why. i would cross the street if i saw one down the block. one time one was just sitting under a car in front of my house i refused to go off my porch until i was sure it moved!
today we were doing a “fun” sheet in my first grade class. we had to circle the things that were real as apposed to fake. one of the fake pictures was a bird that was reading a book. when i got up to that picture i said “can birds read?!” all the boys shouted out NO! one boy then called out “but then how do they use twitter….. ??????” i was shocked but i was laughing so hard!
and yossi i dod read it and admire you for being so open minded. its a very important quality that most people don’t have,;)
mazal- i’m sorry you thought we were judging thats totally not what i was meaning to do. i meant it as i am annoyed by trying to explain the 2 types (again) i hope you forgive me. i must have misunderstood what you were trying to say and thats terrible of me i hope you will join our discussions and find chizuk from what we say. but type 1 which is what we all have is very very different from type 2 so we dont have experience with that. truth is type 1 is easier in a way because we can eat anything and just give insulin as apposed to type 2 which requires strict diet exercise etc (as im sure you know and can prob give us all a lesson on that!) type 1 has all the same complications and i think i should thank you for warning us about them. bh i am in good control but now i will keep what you said in mind for future.
again- i am VERY sorry if my comments offended you and i hope you will join our discussions and gain wtvr you can
rebbitzen- that post bothers me soooo much! just ignore it!!! but it is very upsetting!
nusre- thank you for ur kind words! it’s nice to see someone who understands what we go through from the medical perspective but also appreciates the hardships of it too! really means a lot to me! you seem to be a caring person which i’m sure makes you a fabbulous nurse! i wish everyone out there was like you
reb- lol ill be 21 in a few months. it was all in a joking manner it would never work! and btw i am so excited to see you post of “page 17” lol
tralala- im glad you gain from this thread i know i do!
binahyeseira- i know dont worry it was all meant in a joking manner!!
mazal-im gonna assume youtalking about type 2 so that doesnt apply to me.
tralala- i know its hard and i didnt think it would be a normal pregnancy but i don’t think diabetes will stop me from having children.and when i asked my doc about it she said i could have as many as i want but its gonna be a very controled pregnancy and i have to be careful and in perfect control before during and after but i am very very scared for the whole thing. so i guess i decided to live in a bubble until it gets closer.
wait reb does this mean your a no go?!?!? this is perfect for you!!! (i think i am too old….)
so yossi we’ll let you decide who you want….. you have this whole thread to get to know us!! lol
ye yossi i never usually would be so forward! heehee! lets see what happens i guess!
lol yossi i have no idea how to pull this off! but you sound like a nice guy! (though 19 is young! we’re all in our 20s…..) so what next?! lol this is sooo not my type!
oy Reb don’t get frustrated though it certinly is very frustrating!!!!!! i feel so bad! i wish i could give you more chizuk and be more helpful!! anything you can think of what i could do?
btw if you look in the new thread about “us” i am talking with a boy about setting one of us up! lol let me know what you think! read the last few posts between me and “yossi” 😉 u2 allsgr8!!
allsgr8- iyh yours will be fantatsic too!! and don’t worry the home testers are LONG gone!!!!
rebbitzen- to be honest i have No idea what ive been doing! i eat anything and blous! i dont over eat but i wont not eat something because of the diabetes! what really helped is the sensor i really recommend getting it even to just wear once a month like i do just to see whats going on! i also started prebolusing… meaning bolusing for what i’m gonna eat and then waiting like 20 minutes before i eat. that way the insulin meets the carbs and prevents the aftereating spike! other than that i guess i finally got my basal rates right and most importantly Hashem has been guiding me!! thats what it boils down to
yossi i would ttly do it!! what you looking for? what do you do? how old are you? etc
i saw rebbitzen i am so annoyed with it i decided not to even read it anymore!!! people are so ignorant and i have no patience to start explaining AGAIN!!!
just got home from the doc and guess what???? A1C is…. 6.6!!!!!!! i am ECSTATIC!!!! never been this low!!! i keep thanking Hashem!!!!! just wanted to share my good news with you all!
AMEN!!!!!!!!! thanks cocacola!!!!
yossi- thats a different type of diabetes called gestational diabetes. a lot of people develop it.
we should ttly make a shidduch with you and some of the girls in the diabetes support group thread if you say you have no prob with it! we’re all looking for boys that are normal thinkers like you lol!
it bothers me too fedup11210!! its really not fair because in addition to having to deal with the diabetes we have to deal with people’s ignorance and fear of it!!! it makes me really sad sometimes!
health- i know 8.3 is way too high thats why i am shocked!! i did a home test so idk how acurate it is so i will see what to do tomorrow when i am at the doc and get the real results. i am on a pump so i dont take lantus. my A1cs are usually in the 6s so thats why i am really really shocked by the 8.3 and i have been really good the past 3 months so idk it doesnt make much sense to me!
A23 i think you have it mixed up!! type 1 has nothing to do with genetics and people with it (like myself) lead perfectly normal lives and could eat wtvr we want as much as we want and could do anything!! my pregnancies will prob be healthier than normal women’s!! type 2 in my opinion is a different story! do your research and you prob will agree!
fedup- i agree but for some reasons a lot of boys/their mothers are too scared of the word diabetes and dont even look into anything so they just say no deal to anyone who is not “perfect” even though we are all fabulous girls!
allsgr8- thats funny how we keep going the same time! (my next appointment is may 23rd so try to get something near there for ur next one too so we can keep this “tradition” up lol jk) i had a similar “situation” about a year ago when i just didnt care and ate whatever i wanted and bolused for it (it might be a little different bec ur x on a pump….) and i felt so out of control so when i went to my doc the next time i told her how i felt and she said “its normal for someone with a chronic illness like diabetes to feel that way after some time as long as it doesnt last and you get up, dust yourself off and start again fresh” (that is one reason why i love my doc because she knows its not easy!) so i think that you should talk to your doc about what you are feeling when you go this week! tell him/her what you just told me and ask how you could work on it without feeling burdened. because like it or not diabetes is here to stay it’s not going anywhere. so i think we all need to find a way to make it work for us. falling/failing is part of the deal and i know how hard it is and depressing too but i know that you can do it!! after you go to the doc this week… stand up brush yourself off and start again! and don’t forget we are all doing this together so we’ll help you through it!! and also don’t forget that our Father is Shamayim is holding our hand through it all the way!!
oysh rebbitzen i can imagine how that feels and don’t worry it’s this guy’s loss!! u are an amazing person and you don’t even want someone who wont give you a chance because of a silly thing like diabetes! he prob wasnt good enough for you anyways so it saves you time!!! just hang in there it will get better!!!!! keep venting it always helps!! i’m here for you!!!
allsgr8- very nice words thanks for the chizuk!
i know reb i know!! i want it to go away too! sometimes i just feel like what’s the point but then i think that Hashem doesn’t do things “just because” so there must be a point! but that doesnt mean that it’s not hard because it is as i’m sure we all know and we could all give pages after pages of reasons that it is hard/unfair/upsetting/ depressing etc. we just have to know that we are doing this for a reason even though we don’t understand it! i know it’s hard and easier said than done but we will all get through it!!!
foodluver- thanks for your kind words! nice point of view i am gonna try thinking like that!
i know what you mean… i don’t even get redt anything but idk if that has to do with diabetes or not…. its really frustrating!
i’m going to my doc tomorrow… i’ve been so good BH lately! i just did the bayer home A1C tester kit. it said 8.3!!!!! i was SHOCKED!!!! i havent been that high for years!!! and i was really working hard these past 3 months! so i did it again and it said 8.4!!! i am sooooo upset now! what am i gonna do if thats what i get for working as hard as i did!!! whats the point?!?!
WELCOME BACK REBITZEN!! i was wondering where you were!
i know exactly what you mean! i have been thinking about that too lately! im really scared for people to find out about it! just recently i was forced to tell someone about it (nothing to do with shidduchim….) and she automatically assumed it was type 2 and that i shouldnt eat sugar etc etc and i got sooo frustrated trying to explain it!! i guess al we could do is daven to Hashem to help guide us on the right path and when the time is right with the right person He should put the words in our mouths so we will know what to say to make the boys understand how we are perfectly normal (and in some cases prob healthier than most people…..)
thats what i keep telling myself… just daven and Hashem will help! i saw this quote on one of the threads here last week and i keep repeating it in my head “Emunah kicks in when logic checks out” it really helps!
and know that we are here to listen to you vent because we really understand what you feel from first hand experience!!!
“life isn’t about surviving the storm it’s about learning to dance in the rain”
just wait till you turn 20 then 30 then 40 etc;)
i felt the same way at 18 as you are feeling! but then when i reached 20 i felt like i was really leaving my teenage years behind and it’s weird to be a “real adult” now lol! (oh my i sound like i am sooooo old! 18, 20 even 21, 22 is still young!!)
enjoy every moment of every age! and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
i had a teacher in H.S. that told us all the time a story that someone asked if she was a baal teshuva and since she was FFB she said “No” to which the person answered “we all need to be ba’ali teshuva every day for we all do Avairos everyday!”
oysh! these reasons are why i only babysit for my siblings… because i basically live in their houses anyways so i do whatever i would do at home.
but i do agree with not asking me the day of…. i have a life too and i feel so bad to say no but i am not gonna change my plans!
you never know yogibooboo!!! 😉
estherhamalka- in my opinion your daughter shouldn’t do her homework… if she is so sick how is she supposed to concentrate? it would probably be a waste of time! but don’t be ypset at the teacher you never know what she was thinking… could be the school’s policy to do that, or she might not have known that your daughter was sick etc….refuah shelayma to your daughter! (and good luck to you!)
what?! now i’m so sad! you make the CR fun!!!
i am a teacher for little boys and just today there was a boy absent and i sent the homework home for him not even expecting him to do it. some mothers want us to and some dont i never know so i just send it and don’t make a big deal if it’s not done. i usually send a treat and note to say that we missed them in school today!
“Maybe this is just me, but I think to myself that Hashem has never given up on me yet, and I have no real reason to think that way. It helps to keep the nerves in check.”
wow such a true statment! thanks for sharing!!!
“Emunah kicks in when logic checks out”
cshapiro- that is the BEST saying i’ve heard in a very long time and i am going to take it with me throughout my life. thank you so much for posting it! can i be so bold as to ask what you did to get closer to Hashem as you mentioned…. it’s something i am trying to work on also….
“I can make a “list” till the cows turn blue, it won’t matter, it’s all up to THE ONE”
nicely said 1day….. sounds like you have the right idea….
i am the same way i don’t care about their family as long as they are nice normal sweet people and that he will be a good father and husband to our family!
Sacrilege- you have a great list! u really sound like u have ur priorities straight! can i “steal” some of urs and add them to my list too?!? i hope u get all you want and more!

a sense of humor would be nice too!

sounds like a good plan Joseph=)
nicely said ICOT 🙂
it was incorrect the way it was put… it could have been done in a more tactful manner… thats just my opinion
and i want to ask u forgiveness if i was too harsh truth…..
i did spell it that way on purpose lol;)
no one ever noticed it (or mentioned it) before but it was intentional!
