HOW TO (easily)UNDERSTAND THE STOCK MARKET
The Stock Market is like making love....It goes Up & Down. When It goes up, everyone is happy and when it goes down, people are besides themselves, befuddled and betwixted. But like all in Life, "what goes up, must come down" or priapism develops.

WAKING UP
My cats get up at day rise, which here in NYC is about 6:00AM these days. When I am still asleep they become concerned as to my safety. They have on many occasions been able to detect low blood sugar levels within me and have all "rescued " me by various means to enable me to "wake up". This morning was no exception. My Alpha male cat, Willie hopped onto the bed and used his head to nudge my arm to move as well as using his head to push my face. In addition, he knocked down my alarm clock......All these actions as well as Sammy's loud verbalizations and Sara's licking of my nose succeeded in waking me up. My blood sugar was 72mg/dl..........Time for a great breakfast of noodles, eggs and fresh coffee made the best way☞French Press.

THE AGONY & THE ECSTASY

This morning I awoke screaming in pain. I do not know if any of you have ever experienced this problem, but my calf muscle cramped up on me. The tightness (constriction) produced such pain as to warrant the scream. Since I live in an apartment in New York City where the walls are very thin, my neighbor must have thought that I was experiencing profound and intense orgasm. Both verbal expressions are very similar. I take this phenomenon to be a calling from G-D, since upon waking up and checking my blood sugar(bs) I found it to be 40mg/dl.
G-D always has a way of making his presence known so we may do the correct thing. The correct thing was to intervene so that my life would be saved.

TYPE 1 DIABETES

I first want to make it abundantly clear that this site is devoted to people with Type 1 Diabetes. There is a huge difference between Type 1 Diabetes and (the other illness, which should be called and is called in some small Medical circles, Insulin Resistance Disease). As "We" all know, Type 1 Diabetes has a different etiology, different prognosis, different complications although the "other illness" does share in some of the same complications, different methods of treatment. In this too, the only similarity is the taking of insulin. There are many other "Differences", such as motivation and identity with the illness. People with Type 1 Diabetes are usually more motivated and more fine tuned in identifying the illness as an addition to many other things that make up "who they are". This is not political correctness, but common sense. It is unfortunate that the vast amount of people within the Medical Community have not yet made that distinction. Go to any hospital in any city and you will hear people with Diabetes referred to as "The Diabetic". Not only are they in error in doing this(people are more than their illness), but they are usually referring to the other illness (Insulin Resistance Disease aka Type 2 Diabetes). To respect ourselves, NEVER refer to who we are by our Illness(Diabetic), Whenever anyone in the Healthcare community calls us "Diabetic", we should correct them by saying, "I HAVE DIABETES, I AM NOT A DIABETIC", If they do not understand this, it is time to look for a new Healthcare Provider. Remember, that you are your own best Doctor when it comes to taking care of your Diabetes. Who knows your Body/Mind better than you?
