Comment on New EpiPen Ad is Dangerous for Food Allergy Families by Patricia Hamilton

It is certainly a unfortunate commercial, doesn’t really give the right signals for what the product was made for. I think their PR department needs a good ol’ wooping.

Dayna – thank you for visiting and commenting. I’m sorry about all the food issues you have with your daughter. It’s frustrating and nerve-racking. I understand.

Education is most definitely a process, and it doesn’t matter how old we get. We never stop learning. There are new things discovered everyday, and we can’t possibly know everything. I love to continue learning and appreciate the opportunity I had to learn more and understand the diabetes community better.

As a mom to a T1 daughter who also has Celiacs AND just recently had a reaction to a food that now required us to carry an Epipen, thank you for your understanding and what I think is a very generous, appropriate apology IMO. I’ve never been on either blog until today, but it sure seems like you handled it in a way that helps us all and isn’t education a process?

hey: see, so many different varieties, extremes, and treatments are required. Which is why my comment was unfair. It was Type 1 moms who jumped down my throat. I didn’t specify type…I just generalized diabetes across the board.

I’ve heard horror stories too. Losing a foot to diabetes, death, etc…

And I really did think that all diabetics had to avoid sugar entirely. I was told, very sternly, that I was very very very wrong about that. *shrug* I’m glad to know that I’m not the only clueless one out there.

Hey, I don’t want to jump down your throat further but a lot of people in my family have diabetes. Not everybody with diabetes has to use insulin. Some people with type 2 can control it with pills but sometimes they don’t help enough or sometimes people do eat a lot of things they shouldn’t and it makes their blood sugar stay up for a sustained period of time. Then they do have to use insulin along with the pills.

I didn’t know that the extra insulin can allow people to eat what they want sometimes either. I only have family members with type 2 diabetes and I don’t know if it would work the same way- I just heard horror stories of things like them eating whole pound bags of M&M’s and having to be rushed to the emergency room, but maybe they binged because they only ate sugar free candy and stuff like that for such a long period of time.

LOL – well, when you’re talking about a fast food chain that seems to be marketing specifically to stoners, I can see how things could get “goofy.” Haha! Those were pretty good. Thanks for sharing. hehehe

Also, blog commenters can be just goofy.

It’s just a reminder that there are many causes out there… and we all need some education now & then.

I’m glad you’re not apologizing for the sentiment, and it’s awesome that you took the time to educate all of us on insulin. Now we know.

What fun would blogging be if we didn’t ruffle some feathers now & then?

Comment on Why Am I Always Sick and Tired? – About Me by Alana Wright

All of these sound like me. Many allergies, and now it seems that I have chronic fatigue and no real known cause. My Nathuropath and myself think I may have systemic yeast problems. WE have ruled out adrenal fatigue, and heavy metal toxicity so I think that will be my next step. I found a website called The Candida Cleanser and there is a lot of info on that site. I have just started going through it. I do think it will be worth it. There is a new treatment which is just coming to Canada, in which they take some of your blood and put ultraviolet rays through it then inject it back into you and it is said to clean up your blood and by doing that it clears up many things they claim. When I use this treatment I will post about it on my website, so please check it out. It has alternative treatments for cancer and a post about arthritis. I will be putting more on it as I learn more about these things. Take care and God Bless Alana
