Diabetes

So I have on occasion talked about my diabetes on here. Today I spent some time on dLife, a website that is devoted to diabetes and everything that comes along with it and one of the articles that I read was a humorous one about the diabetes-slang that has come to be. One was particularly funny to me so... here it is:

Regan-Rage – Term comes from the little girl in The Exorcist. Describes the behavior some people with diabetes exhibit when having a low bloodsugar. Regan-rage behaviors include swearing, screaming, spitting of juice, and stretching body parts in unnatural ways.

*Does not include levitating. If your diabetic friend/partner/child should levitate, it is probably not caused by low bloodsugar.

7th grade relationships

So... my oldest is in 7th grade now and there is a nice young girl who seems to be interested in him. She is sweet and I know that it is only a matter of time before he realizes that maybe he would like to be more than "just friends" with a girl. So today I asked him about it. He said that they were just friends and that wasn't going to change because "7th grade relationships last about 2 weeks." So, he wants to keep his friendship with her. That is good. I tell him that is a wise choice. But does that mean that he really likes her and doesn't want to mess things up? Or does it mean that he still just isn't ready for that type of relationship? Or does it mean something completely different? Who knows. I just hope that when he does start having "relationships" he tells me. If he's 20 and as far as I know still hasn't had a girlfriend... I'll know I've been duped.
