I Can’t Drive at 55
November 15, 2007I Can’t Drive at 55
One look at my meter before I hit the road, hey!
Well, there’s too much Insulin, I can’t go, no!
So I tried my best to get it up
Another low sugars gonna make it tough again!
CHORUS:
Go on & get me up to 125
Post my result, I want more than 65
Take my glucose n’ give me the high
I can’t drive at 55! Oh No! Uh!
So I thought I’d be at 124, hey!
Yeah my reading said, “I’m closer to 54
I’m gonna get my ass in the ER joint”
Looked at my keys, said, “there’s no point,
I’m done, Oh yea!”
CHORUS II:
Go on & get me up to 125
Post my result, I want more than 65
Take my glucose n’ give me the high
I can’t drive at 55!
Oh, No!
I can’t drive at 55!
I can’t drive at 55!
I can’t drive at 55!
I can’t drive at 55!
Uh!
When I go that low, you know it’s hard to steer.
And I can’t get my head in the clear.
What used to be 80 now dropped to 75.
Huh - please don’t take me to 55.!
CHORUS:
Go on & get me up to 125
Post my result, I want more than 65
Take my glucose n’ give me the high
I can’t drive at 55!
No, no, no, I can’t drive…(I can’t drive at 55!)
I can’t drive… (I can’t drive at 55!)
I can’t drive at 55!

What a Load of …
October 25, 2007CRAP?
CRAP stands for “Catastrophic Ruthless Attack on the Pancreas“
Check out Bernard’s hysterical post:
“Today officials at the American Diabetes Association expressed surprise that CRAP seems to have become the new name for what was previously known as Type 1 diabetes.
Speaking off the record a senior member of ADA staff was puzzled to know what CRAP even stood for.
Readers of this blog may know that the abbreviation was first coined in a discussion on the popular TuDiabetes social networking site. CRAP stands for ‘Catastrophic Ruthless Attack on the Pancreas.’
It’s rumored that someone started a Google bombing campaign to replace Google’s normal results for the word CRAP with the ADA page for Type 1 diabetes. This was done as a protest against the ongoing problem that the media has in distinguishing between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.
To quote a top ADA official (name withheld) ‘If this disease renaming continues we’ll be forced to change current medical texts so they now refer to the two primary types of diabetes as CRAP and Type 2. And what happens if someone then decides to rename Type 2 to Number 2? Imagine the confusion.’
They fail to recognize that many people, including many media people, are already confused so much that they don’t even realize there are two main forms of diabetes that are radically different to one another. Perhaps this renaming will clear things up - a bit.”
