I'm actually glad you did clarify that up. Yeah, as you mentioned, my mom would be a type 2 diabetic. *shakes head* She's so stubborn at times. She won't eat good and thinks her version of a diet is sufficient. But it's not...
Thank you for clearing that up! I'm sorry that you have type 1 diabetes... :/
I don't know what Facetime is... and we don't have an iPhone or iMac or iPad or iWhatever. I'm not up to date with technology at all. XDDD I have my laptop and my cellphone. That's all I need. :P
Yeah, my aunt was close to type 2 diabetes as well. Then, she lost a TON of weight and is healthy now. It was a drastic change!
But, no, I'm type 1 diabetic. It didn't come about because I ate unhealthily, it came up because it's genetic in my family.
With type 2, your blood cells don't want to open up and take insulin in that your body produces. So, you have to take a pill that produces a special enzyme that "unlocks" your blood cells and takes insulin in.
With type 1, my pancreas just... shuts itself off. I don't make my own insulin at all, so I have to take shots, or wear an insulin pump that does it all for me. My insulin is made in a lab, instead of in my body. ^^;
I just wanted to clarify that. A LOT of people find out I'm a diabetic and say, "Oh! You must eat really badly to have it so young! You're probably overweight too and lazy!" But... no, that's quite the opposite... I work hard and I'm actually underweight.
Besides, a lot of type 2 diabetics aren't overweight or lazy. Just... unlucky.
Do you have Facetime (like on an iPhone or your iMac)? Is your dad leaving for business related reasons? Definitely enjoy whatever time you get with him, physically or virtually.
Hope your doctor's appointment goes well! I'm trying to get my mom to eat better. She's on the verge of becoming diabetic herself. Since when is it the kid who tries to get their MOM to eat their veggies?? Oye vey...

You really should just video call with MSN or Y!M if you're doing it from a computer. It's free and the software is compatible with a hell of a lot more cameras than Skype. Skype is only good on smartphones and some tablets. But that's about it.

Skype's been working fine on our laptops. And, as long as we don't call any cellphones with it, it's free as well.
And, then... I met you.
