Stewie is home. It is cancer, but it has not spread. His blood work was unremarkable. The x-rays showed cardiac insufficiency, he is in congestive heart failure and somehow not symptomatic. Not much can be done but make sure he is comfortable.

I feel strongly that we should not be assigning positives to what can be a terminal illness, and is at best a lifelong disability. Celebrate your skills and joys sure, but don't assign their existence to diabetes.

For those living with #diabetes would you say that the condition has helped or hindered you through life? 🤔 I don't necessarily mean the day to day glucose challenge, but more of your journey through life. The opportunities gained or missed. #diabeteschat #gbdoc

Was once told that if I did diabetes better, I wouldn't need to pack low snacks in my bag. Doing it better may lessen the chances, but won't eliminate them. I think this account may be drawing from the same bank of faulty knowledge.
