Haidee’s artwork and cartoons are awesome. She’s right about being “up.” It’s hard to do all the time but it’s good we can all help each other in that regard.

Scott,
Very true. I don’t think people realize how much diabetes affects your relationship with food. Thanks for your comment.

How did I miss this??!!

Great interview Haidee. I am with you, it’s So hard to be “up” All the time. Some days just plain suck.

I told my Endo last month that if I didn’t have to eat, managing my Type 1 would be So easy. We had a short laugh. But it is So true. It’s what “runs” our life…we need to count, measure then take insulin. We have to think before we do Anything, really. It’s frustrating.

Love the book. Cannot wait (but I will) for the second one. Glad to see your cartoons on The Diabetes Resource weekly though.

Keep up the great work you do!

Great interview. And Haidee, I am SO with you on the food thing. It is the number one problem for me and trying to manage my diabetes. It makes life terribly complex, and I’m sure I’ve got some sort(s?) of eating disorder(s?) because of how diabetes affects my relationship with food.

I LOVED your book, and think that any person living with diabetes would get a lot out of it.

Thanks!
