Same thing happens in ham radio....folks don't transmit and then complain about
the bands being dead.

My lady is the diabetic, I basically lurk for information.

It's good you do that.

THese days with the backbone ops folks purging dead or
inactive echoes it's easy enough to fall out of the backbone
listing, or at least backbone.na. One reason I post rules
files at least monthly and informational posts I find
occasionally <grin>.

Yea....I really need to automate some rule posting.

She was not diagnosed for years when she should have been,
so lots of complications as well.

Wow...really sorry to hear about the complications. Was it that 10 or 20 years ago the hybred was not possible, or the medical community hadn't thought about it?

Heh.....I am not yet on insulin, but testing as often as I do, I have an understanding of your naming logic.

YEp, I've seen that more than once. sUddenly you call cq,
and if you get an answer you've suddenly got a pile up.
Worked an Australian one night on 20 meters, most folks
tuning through 20 must have thought the band was dead, about midnight. I"m sitting on 14300 just monitoring in case a
boat in trouble shouts. Aussie calls cq, I answer, we chew
the rag, then of a sudden he's got a pile wanting to work
him.

It's good you do that.

Yah, self defense ,g>>

MOre the medical community hadn't thought about it. She
wasn't diagnosed for years when she should have been, and
then for years after diagnosis of diabetes they tried first
the treatment with the insulin, then the pills, finally her
endocrinologist (spelling) in NEw ORleans in about 2003 got it all together and they started a treatment regimen that
was actually controlling the sugars.

Kathy, my lady is what is classified as a hybrid diabetic,
something that was said a decade or so to not be possible,
but both type 1 and type 2. Iow her body doesn't reliably
make insulin, and then when it gets the insulin, either
externally or made by her pancreas it doesn't utilize it
properly. HEnce she does the metformin/glucophage type
drugs, as well as injected insulin.
She was not diagnosed for years when she should have been,
so lots of complications as well.

Richard
