    well, i've been diagnosed with diabetes. maybe some of you were wondering why i haven't been on here much in the past couple of months (& maybe some of you were glad :P ). but, oh well, my life has been sucking but it's a damn good motivation to write more music. so with my "mac, your life sucks" gift to myself, i will officially have a studio computer & i won't have to rely on dave mcgowen (thanks man!) tweeking test tracks in soundforge for me. hope you have all had a happy holliday season (lunar new year is coming up so i still have 1 celebration left here in korea B) )!
    cheers,
    mac

    p.s. i ain't lookin for sympathy, or a "hey man that sucks"...but a "good to hear from you again!" would be cool ;)

    It is good to hear from you again. Thank you for keeping us updated. Hope it all works out for you.

    I know you said for us not to say things like that, but I can't help it. I have several friends with diabetes, and I know, that it can't be fun.

    Welcome to the "I am a diabetic" club. It sucks but it can be beaten. Mine is under control by medication (non-insulin) but I'm sure that it would get better if I were to lose some weight...

    Hang in there and do as the doc’s say, you may just beat it yet! ;)

    Good to see you back bud ... but yah, what t[]c lover said ... the freestyle is the way to go, that is what my old carpool friend uses to check his.

    Needles *shudder* I hate 'em. No matter what size they are. :shakehead:

    ya, my advice is to look up the disease more cause from what I know, insulin is mostly a lateral move...

    i am so all about the freestyle flash monitors...a friend of mine in a band that plays over here tested my blood sugar with it. didn't feel the lancet on my arm & it was FAST! so i've got one in the mail to me right now. :wub:
    it just took awhile for the denial to go away :unsure: the only problem with it is that i'll want to get more tattoos :P i can't even get a shot without wanting to go out & get more tattoos!!! :whistle:
