Obat Diabetes

So, a few days ago on a wet and very dreary Monday afternoon, I received an email from a mother of a T1 teen whose name was Melissa. Just to clarify, the mom's name was Melissa, not the daughter. Anyway, I digress. Of course, there are many reasons why Melissa's email made my day. My ego and my id where definitely flattered, work had been crazy and I was feeling unappreciated, so yeah, the email was a great pick me up!
But the real reason Melissa's email made my day was simple. This mom of a t1 had stumbled upon Diabetesaliciousness and emailed me to said my blog had made her smile and made made her laugh. Know what? I live for those words!

No really, it's true. I love making people feel good about themselves, and I will stand on my head and speak & sing the whole "Grease" sound track if it will make you have a chuckle at the expense of the Big D. If Kelly K can make you or anyone laugh & learn about the big D, well then that is just the cherry on the cake of this diabetic Chick's day.

Maybe it's my redemption for all the crap that D and me...OK, stop for a second. I just have to say that every single time I write D and me, I think about the 1970's made for TV movie "Howard and Me" staring the late, great Jason Robards, who played Howard Hughes. H2 had escaped from the MGM Grand and took a cross country road trip with a dude who had picked H2 up hitchhiking. The had wacky adventures together and bonded BIG TIME.
Dude said H2 had promised him part of his fortune when he died. Dude never got the money, but did sell the movie rights for 50 grand. So...he had that going for him. OK, I'm getting way off track -forget it, I'm saving the zany adventures of D and me for my next post, which will be titled: "The Wacky Miss-adventures of D and Me." OR D and Me - Pancreas Interrupted...Life Rocks On."

Back to what I was saying b4 television trivia interrupted. I'm sure D and me put my parents through a lot of crap-o-la growing up. I tried so hard to be like everyone else,I'm sure
I was pretty damn infuriating at times.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I feel redemption when I make others bust a gut regarding D.

Every since I've become an active citizen of Dblogville (yeah - I'm paraphrasing Alexander de Tocqueville,) the parents of diabetic kids have introduced me to a different facet of the
Big D - The parent side. The parents of T1's have showed me the parents POV & their reality, and hopefully, I've showed the "rents" the PWD's POV view & reality. Together, we citizens of Dblogville have learned a lot. Honestly, I wasn't really sure how to write about the email I received without sounding completely self serving & full of sh*$, so I decided to just post it - after a meandering intro. If it sounds at all self serving, I'm sorry. Thanks, props, & big shout out to Melissa R, you made my week and YOU ROcK!

Listen to BBC News today (21st May 2013) and you might be fooled into believing that SIDs, or 'Sudden Infant Death Syndrome', commonly know as Cot Death, was caused by parents who shared a bed with their babies! (see http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-22594587). How does this cause death? Do they lie on the baby, and stop it breathing? If so, why is SIDs medicalised with the label 'syndrome'? What is a 'syndrome' anyway?

The article does question the validity of the findings, but it does not discuss any other cause of SIDs. So a more pertinent question for the BBC might be - why?

The answer is, of course, that the only known cause of SIDs, or cot death, is a vaccine - the DPT vaccine - given to babies when they are just 2-3 months old, and repeated twice in monthly intervals.

The link between SIDs and the DPT vaccine is not world shattering news. Our doctors know it, the NHS know it, the Big Pharma drug companies know it, and the BBC and the rest of the mainstream media know it too. The link is admitted on the package insert for each DPT vaccine.

But whilst the Media, and the BBC in particular, will provide you with a diet of medical nonsense about 'co-sleeping' they will never share with you the known, and accepted dangers of the DPT vaccination.
