Anna's Blog By: FatCatAnna The Roller Coaster Ride of Diabetes! Whoo! Whoo! I am a Type 1 diabetic diagnosed back in the early 60's as a child. I am living in Montreal, Canada and enjoy scribbling about diabetes from time to time. I’ve had my ups / downs just like any person would experience with going through life - diabetic or not. My motto in life? Diabetes does not control me – I control it!! You can find more posts/discussions at my Facebook page called "The Roller Coaster Ride of Diabetes" and also on Twitter under my name of FatCatAnna. Feel free to "friend" me at both places - since I love to meet up with new folks all around our big blue marble!

LOL on you - an American - being jealous of not having Timmy Hoho's (that's cute) in PA (and Ohio has one - wowza!). I'm envious that you have the Cheesecake Factory (trade ya for a Timmy's?) and other eateries that we don't have up north here!
I have to admit, I'm not a big coffee lover outside of my own home - due to being ... cheap and liking to make my own brew from freshly ground beans - but when on the road in Canada - and I need a cuppa java midway in a 7 hour drive - it hits the spot (it helps that my parents for Xmas gave us a gift card as well). The one thing that is disappointing with the Canadian Tim's - is they've now started to go the mega size me way of your country. I ordered up my regular size of Medium - and asked for my usual 1 sugar, 2 creams (which BTW is a whooping 15%) - and couldn't understand a) the increased price and b) HUGE size. The Medium is now a Large. The Extra-Large looks like something a the Jolly Green Giant would order up! Next time - I order a Small - lesson learnt! Really, you test/inject while on the fly (do you have someone with you when you do this - to hand you stuff?)? I've never done that, I'll pull over if I have to and test (especially if going low). I'm not sure if I could drive safely and use the vampire pricker at the same time or calculate my needle injection. Glad you took a trip away from home - good to get away from time to time. Especially if it's for a girls weekend with a friend! I wish I had a gal friend that I could do that with - it sounds like so much fun!!! Hoping you get a Timmy's in PA one day. Maybe contact them from the website link in my post above and demand there be one where you live! Heck it doesn't hurt to at least try :) By: LaKettell: Jan, 31, 2012 23:44 PM
First of all, I'm so jealous you get Timmy Hoho's! I only get that good stuff when I'm visiting my sister in Maine. I love that place. I've heard they exist in Ohio, so I have no idea how/why they missed PA!
I just this past weekend drove 3 hrs. to visit a friend. I don't go on many trips anymore, as I've had chronic pancreatitis for 8 yrs. and my GI system rarely behaves. I really like being home and only a few feet away from my own bathroom. Anyway, was feeling well enough for a weekend away so I headed out. There was lots of traffic on the way and I had to check my blood sugar so i just did while driving (don't try this at home folks!) and also needed a correction dose of Novolog, which I also did while driving. Again, I don't recommend testing or injecting while driving alone, but it all worked out for me.
