Traveling With Diabetes :: Diabetes Self-Management

Ya gotta love a place where a swing band serendipitously belts out "Back Home Again in Indiana" (lyrics here) on your first foray out around town. On this night, however, the moonlight was shining not on the Wabash, but on the Vltava, the river that separates the east and west sides of Prague.

The whole joint was jumping. And on a Monday night, yet! Turns out there was a reason.

The Tooth, the Whole Tooth, and Nothing but the Tooth (Mostly)

My long-awaited trip to visit my best friend in Germany is upon me. The light is near, but the end of the tunnel has been filled with potholes. Just when I'm trying to get things done and get ahead a bit so I can fly off on Thursday with nothing hanging over my head, things start to unravel.

Obsession Isn't Always a Perfume

There are so many serious and/or meaningful issues I tell myself I should be writing about, but all I have on my mind is my trip next month. As a 60th birthday gift to myself, I'm heading to Germany to visit my best friend, whose Army officer husband is stationed in Heidelberg. While I'm there, we plan to hop over to Prague for a couple of days or so.

Beware Diabetic Complacency

Last weekend, my wife and I went camping about three hours north of here. It was the first time I’ve been along on the annual her-side-of-the-family camping excursion, and except for some obnoxious people who were a bit too loud too late into the evening at a campsite across the road, we had a great time.
