Healthy Hints, Support and Puzzle Probes
It's been an honor to work with thousands of fantastic people with diabetes over the last 15 years. You can be certain that they have taught me as much, if not more than I have taught them. My goal is to reward you with lusty stories as you learn the information that will help you manage your diabetes. Since this disease is a silent killer, and it's human nature to put off change, I hope this serves as a motivator.
Thanks to my family and friends that always support me. Any similarities in this book to real people are purely coincidental; the characters are completely fictional.

The sun shone brightly as Anna rolled into the Diabetes Clinic parking lot situated in an inviting wooded area off the interstate. She parked her practical green Ford Focus in the only shady spot left. She was attractive, her eyes were a striking mix of varied shades of green flecks, and her straight, sandy blond hair hung to her shoulders. Comfortably dressed in a red silk shirt, black pants, and sandals, she looked to be of average size; however, she knew she was overweight on the Body Mass Index charts. She was glad to be a little taller than typical at 5-foot-6 and pleased that the extra weight had increased her breast size, which helped her appear fit. Her heavily padded push-up bra gave her a bit of a lift and helped pull off the facade. Anna felt she was starting to lose the battle for youthfulness and needed to incorporate whatever strategies she could to hold the line.
She had worked her way through college and now, at 45, she was a registered nurse and an experienced certified diabetes educator. She had enjoyed working with people with diabetes over the past twenty years. Anna arrived early because she wanted to be at the top of her game. She would be ready before the students arrived for the class she had developed and continued to tweak to make sure they were enjoyable and met national recognition standards. Today's students were all new to formal diabetes education. She was excited to meet her students and assist with their challenges. However, she had tossed and turned all night, she didn't think she was worried about anything in particular, but sleep wouldn't come. She wondered if it were menopause or something else. With any luck, she’d be able to get to bed early tonight to make up for it.
Already hot inside the building, as she rearranged the furniture, she wished the air conditioner would cool the room more quickly. She busied herself by forming the beige, cushioned chairs into a circle so her students could effectively talk and learn from one another. This was one of the most important reasons for the class. Anna knew a key part of the education process was learning from and sharing with others who were in the same boat. Her role was more a guide, to keep everyone on track and make that happen. She moved around the room to set out the books, class materials and homework assignments.
She expected eight patients today and their support persons. Frequently, there were some no-shows as people had busy lives, and their diabetes was the last thing they wanted to focus on. Anna knew that denial was a common response to a disease or anything uncomfortable. It may help get you through a difficult time, let you hold on to your old ways before having to face needed changes, but there was a price to pay. She also knew that continued denial could be devastating to your health. Anna's class was frequently a relief to those who attended. They had so many questions, so many mixed emotions and fears, they were relieved to discover that she was on their side, and would help guide them through gaining the knowledge they desperately needed.
She was confident that those who didn't come today would come eventually. Chronic diseases haunt people and eventually demand their attention. Anna hoped for their sake they would come before they had serious problems, instead of waiting until they had developed complications. She took some comfort in knowing that even people who already had some complications could slow the progression of their disease if they could gain control of their glucose levels. She was eager to teach them how to do that.
At 8 o'clock sharp, Devin, the 24-year-old nursing student, who was observing and assisting in her classes, arrived. Anna appreciated that he came early, as he wasn't required to report until class began in 30 minutes. She would be sure to make a note on his evaluation reflecting his caring attitude and the fact that he was taking his internship seriously.
He had helped her with her classes every day this week. He had a wonderful smile that came easily, dark wavy hair, dark eyes, and a muscular build, with broad shoulders, and those small hips it seems you find only on the young. Anna thought he was handsome, and if she were single and younger, she would be interested in him. However, as it was, Devin was young enough to be her son, a handsome boy who would make some girl very happy someday. He reminded Anna that she had enjoyed an active sex life when she was younger and newly married. Sex had slowed down over the years with work, children, and a home to maintain. As he placed his hand on her lower back, Devin moved in closely and quietly said, "You look radiant this morning, Anna." He went straight to work putting out the coffee and tea for the students. Anna smiled at the thought of herself looking radiant.
Everything seemed in order; even though she was still drowsy as she sat at her desk to focus on her charts and to wait for everyone to arrive. As class time approached, Todd was the first student to arrive. At 47, his dark hair was graying at the temples, and his striking blue eyes enhanced by suntanned skin. He was carrying too much weight for his height and stocky build, yet he looked as he was in average physical condition. He was dressed in a light-blue polo shirt with blue jeans and brown leather hiking boots. He managed his diabetes with diet and exercise only. Anna welcomed him and asked him to sign in and complete the forms for class. He started working on the paperwork as the next student arrived.
Luis was 64; he looked sophisticated with his silver hair against a bronzed face. He wore gray trousers, and a neatly pressed, white collared shirt. His wife, Marie, seemed about the same age. She had short dark hair with gray streaks, olive skin and dark eyes and wore a straight royal-blue linen dress. Anna thought it was sweet how Luis guided Marie into the room with the palm of his hand at the small of her back. Luis was diagnosed five years ago, yet this was the first time he had come for education. He had been on insulin for about five months.
Joyce followed Luis and Marie into the classroom. Joyce wore a sea-green blouse with a khaki skirt; she was 45, chubby with chestnut-brown shoulder length hair and hazel eyes. She had a generous smile, dimples and walked around the room greeting people. She recognized Todd as someone she knew from high school. In fact, they had gone out on a date in high school. They spoke about what a small world it was, and what a shame it was they had to meet again under these circumstances. She took metformin to manage her diabetes.
Ashley, 25, she sauntered into the classroom. She had long copper-red hair, ivory skin, and green eyes. The first thing Anna noted about Ashley was her height and how she looked too thin, though she had large breasts with cleavage overflowing her white summer dress, which also showed off her long legs. Anna felt the dryness of Ashley's hands when they shook hands. Diagnosed three weeks ago and started on glargine insulin, Anna thought Ashley was a type 1. Her support person, Ian, seemed closer to 40 with almost black hair and not a hint of premature gray. He was slightly taller than Ashley was and well built. He was attentive to her and helped her with her paperwork.
Kia, 56, and Trevon, age 53, joking with each other as they entered the room, they quickly took their seats. Both diagnosed last month at the same time, they looked as if they could be siblings. They had jet-black hair peppered with gray. Kia’s hair was straight to her shoulders and framed her ebony skin and brown eyes. Trevon's eyes were a light hazel and lit up his face, his hair, cut close to his head with some curl. Both wore khaki pants and navy shirts with a local travel agency logo. They were overweight and on metformin.
As Anna and Devin greeted each student and helped them fill out the necessary forms, the students introduced themselves to one another. Anna thought they were off to a good start and it was going to be a great class. Anna introduced herself and Devin. She took care of the housekeeping issues, such as where the bathrooms were. "Please get up and move around at any time, ask questions as we go along and feel free to call me between classes," she told them, "I'm here to help you."
Anna then had the students and their support persons start around the circle introducing themselves and saying what they most wanted to learn. After all the introductions, they were sitting in the circle, Anna moved up to the whiteboard. While she asked questions, she jotted down each important point made by the group.
"What is diabetes?" Anna asked rhetorically. The class offered ideas.
"The pancreas doesn't make enough insulin, or your body can't use the insulin you make. This makes the blood glucose rise too high," Todd offered.
"A condition where your body can't use food properly," said Trevon.
Anna replied, "Both are excellent answers, insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas. A little of this hormone is released all day long then when you eat, more is released. Also, when you eat, your body converts food to glucose for energy. Glucose is a form of sugar." She drew a picture showing how insulin helps move the glucose from the blood into the body’s cells for energy. "Everyone's blood has glucose, but it builds up when you have diabetes and it can lead to serious health problems."
Anna asked, "How many people are affected by diabetes in our country?"
Todd responded, "Way too many." Anna laughed with the class.
"Diabetes affects about 25-million people, which is about 8 percent of the population," Anna said. "Eighteen-million people are diagnosed and, unfortunately, about 7 million people don't know they have diabetes. The people that are not diagnosed will likely develop preventable complications.
"What are the symptoms of diabetes?" Anna asked. Since the class sat silently, she listed the common symptoms on the whiteboard.
Being tired
Being thirsty
Frequent urination
or 'peeing'
Weight loss or possibly weight gain
Blurred
vision
Frequent yeast infections
Slow healing sores
Frequent
hunger
Numbness or burning in legs or feet
Men may have
erectile dysfunction -- trouble having or maintaining an erection
When Anna finished writing, Devin asked the class, "Did you have any of these symptoms?"
Only two people reported having any symptoms. Anna said, "One of the surprises about this disease is about fifty percent of people with diabetes report they have no symptoms at all. Therefore, some have no idea that they have the disease yet are at risk for complications."
"Even though there are several types of diabetes, the basic treatment is a meal plan, exercise and, when needed, taking medication or insulin," Anna said.
Devin asked, "What are the three main types of diabetes?" There were no responses.
Anna described each one for the class. "Type 1, accounts for about 10 percent of the cases, it's an autoimmune disease in which the body doesn't make any or enough insulin. Often seen in children or young adults, textbooks usually say up to age 30, however it can happen at any age. People with type 1 must inject insulin to live.
"Type 2 is the most common. The body can't use insulin properly, may not have enough insulin, or may be resistant to insulin. Mostly seen in adults, but now that the population is getting heavier, more children are being diagnosed. Type 2 is treated with a meal plan, exercise and medications and/or insulin as needed.
"Finally, gestational diabetes is the type first diagnosed in pregnancy and most likely will disappear after the pregnancy. Like other diabetes, it's controlled with a meal plan, exercise, and possibly medications or insulin. It can lead to health problems for the unborn baby as well as the mother if untreated. It's important that women with diabetes plan their pregnancies and have good glucose control before conception. Those with gestational diabetes are at a greater future risk for type 2 diabetes."
She erased the whiteboard and asked, "Could anyone tell me what the risk factors for type 2 diabetes are?" Devin took the marker so he could write the list on the board. Anna noticed a chill as he took the marker from her hand and brushed her arm. As Anna listed the risk factors, Devin wrote:
Being overweight
Inactive lifestyle
High
blood pressure (hypertension)
Family history of diabetes
Diabetes
during pregnancy
Giving birth to a baby weighing more than 9
pounds
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS
Over 45, but it can
occur at any age
More likely in Native Americans, Hispanics,
Asians and Blacks
Problems with cholesterols, LDL, HDL,
triglycerides
Some medications, like steroids can cause glucose to
rise
Joyce asked, "How does my provider know I have diabetes?"
"Several tests can determine whether you have diabetes. I will talk about how nonpregnant adults are tested," Anna replied and wrote the common test protocols on the board.
"A fasting plasma glucose test greater than or equal to 126 mg/dl on two different days indicates diabetes.
"Having the classic symptoms of high glucose, and a random plasma glucose of 200 mg/dl on two different tests is diagnostic.
"A glucose tolerance test over 200 mg/dl is positive for diabetes. You can't eat for at least 8 hours before the test and for 2 or 3 hours after a special sweet drink.
"Lately, providers and national diabetes groups have been using the hemoglobin A1C test as being diagnostic. An A1C greater than 6.5% on two tests can mean you have diabetes. You don't need to fast for this test. An A1C test is a good indication of what your blood glucose has been over the last two to three months," Anna finished.
"Were any of you told that you had prediabetes before you were diagnosed with diabetes?" Devin asked. Trevon and Luis raised their hands.
Devin continued, "Prediabetes is when blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to indicate diabetes. Prediabetes, like diabetes, also increases your risk of having heart and blood vessel disease," he noted.
"Those with prediabetes need to take it seriously and adopt the same healthful habits that people with diabetes need," Anna offered. "Who can say why it is important to take care of your diabetes?" Since no one spoke, Anna and Devin took turns.
"At diagnosis, you have the same risk of having a heart attack as someone that has already had a heart attack," Devin said.
"Diabetes is a lifelong disease that if not controlled can cause devastating damage," Anna offered. "Women are more likely to die with their first heart attack than men are. About two-thirds of people with diabetes will die of heart disease or stroke. Other complications can include kidney, eye, nerve damage and more. The main reason to care is that you can make a real difference in your health. You can do this by controlling your glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterols."
Trevon asked, "Anna, what is the treatment for diabetes?"
Anna responded, "Diabetes is manageable, but you have to do more than take a pill or a shot. The treatment includes a combination of exercise, meal planning, monitoring your blood glucose, and possibly losing weight.
"Testing your glucose can help you learn whether your treatments and efforts are working. Since it is important to control your blood glucose, you need to know what it is. Medications, insulin or both can cause low glucose. Monitoring your glucose ensures a certain level of safety. Use those results to adjust your meal plan, activity, and medications.
"When you check your glucose, it is important to keep a record of your results. This record is often called a logbook. Think of the logbook as a road map, not as a report card. It tells you if you are going the right way. If your numbers are too high or too low, you will know and you will be able to take steps to bring them into an acceptable range."
Anna and Devin passed out various types of glucose meters to give to the class members. Each student received an alcohol swab, lancet, lancing device and a new glucose meter. Devin showed how to use the lancing device. He discussed how to get enough blood when you test, saying, "It helps to get blood if you start with washing your hands with warm water and drying them thoroughly. Hang your hand at your side for 30 seconds and shake it as you would an old thermometer. You can also gently 'milk' your finger from the bottom to the tip of the finger. Use a site towards the sides of your fingertips to avoid the tender nerve endings at the center of your fingertip."
"Isn't there a glucose meter that doesn't require any blood?" Todd asked. "I think I saw one on television."
"People frequently inquire about those TV ads," Anna replied. "They are so convincing it makes people think that their blood isn't required; however, it still is. Scientists are working on a meter that requires no blood and eventually that will be a reality. Until that day, let me offer you some strategies that will reduce pain when you check your glucose.
"You need to find the sweet spot, where there is enough depth to get the blood you need yet at the same time causing you the least pain. With some experimenting, you can discover a way to poke your finger with minimal or no pain. Try varying the depth setting on the lancing device -- the larger the number, the deeper the poke. In addition, you can adjust the pressure of the device against your finger; the firmer you press, the deeper the poke. You may need to press less or more firmly. Use larger gauge lancets -- the larger the number, the smaller the needle -- and remember to use the sides of your fingertips."
Anna pointed out that there are general rules about lancets and needles to keep in mind. "You may reuse your own needles, but never share a used one. Don't wipe needles off with alcohol as this removes the coating that allows it to go in smoothly.
"To protect your family and workers in your community, follow your garbage company's instructions for medical waste when disposing of your used supplies. If your city has no guidelines, put the needles or syringes in a hard plastic or metal container with a tight-fitting lid. Fill half full with bleach and the rest with water. Tape it shut. Mark it 'Medical Waste' and put it in your trash."
She continued, "There are some common errors when testing that you need to avoid. If you are going to make the effort to poke yourself, you want to make sure you get accurate results. To avoid the most common problems, code your meter to match your test strips, wash your hands, get enough blood, throw away outdated test strips, and don't expose strips to light or moisture. Be sure to test the first strip out of a newly opened bottle of test strips with the recommended control solution. Take the time to learn how to operate your meter."
"When should you test your blood glucose?" asked Marie.
"There is no single answer perfect for everyone," Anna replied. "When you test your glucose depends on what information you want. Your provider can help you decide. I will write some general suggestions down for you." She wrote this on the whiteboard.
Check glucose 1 to 2 times a day if you are not on
insulin
Check glucose 3 to 4 or more times a day if you are on
insulin
Check glucose before you eat or take your insulin
Check
if you think you have low blood glucose
Check when there are
changes such as illness, travel, or an unusual schedule
Check
before a meal and then 2 hours after your first bite, to see the
effect of your food
"Is there a cure for diabetes?" Joyce asked.
"No, there is not a cure, but diabetes is manageable," Devin said.
"In fact, you manage your diabetes about 98 percent of the time yourself. You consult your provider, pharmacist, podiatrist and educator about 2 percent of the time. Since you do most of the self-care and decision-making, your need to understand your disease is great."
Writing on the board, Anna said, "It boils down to these basics."
Live an active lifestyle
Follow your meal
plan
Set goals and write an action plan and then follow
through
Check and record your glucose
Call your provider when
your glucose level is too low or too high
Take your insulin or
diabetes medicine as directed
Extremely important -- control your
blood pressure and blood fats (lipids)
Quit smoking or using
tobacco; this is the most important change you can make
Keep all
your appointments with your providers and educators
Attend
diabetes classes and support groups
"Where do we start?" Marie asked.
"Your overall goal should be to improve your health. Each of you will take a different road," Anna said. "Some of you will focus on exercise, others will focus on eating less, making better food choices, or counting carbohydrates, and still others may focus on quitting smoking or chewing tobacco.
"It is very important, though, that you routinely write a measurable goal and have an action plan. This serves as a guide to where you want to go. At first, it may seem like a pain, but in the long run, it will help you. You want to start small. Realize that a few small steps can add up to a large step toward better health.
"Goals should be reasonable and measurable," she continued. "For instance, I will walk for 10 minutes daily is both reasonable and measurable. You will be able to judge whether you meet this goal or not. Later, you can revise the goal to walking 20 minutes daily then work up to 45 minutes most days of the week or more."
"An example of a goal that is neither reasonable nor measurable in the short term would be, 'I will climb Mt. Everest' or 'I will lose a hundred pounds,'" Devin offered mischievously.
"In both situations, you haven't identified the steps you are going to take to accomplish this," added Anna. "If indeed these were your long-term goals, you would need to start with something reasonable and measurable such as, 'I will walk 30 minutes around my neighborhood five days a week' or 'I will eat an apple instead of drinking a glass of fruit drink.' Identify possible barriers or difficulties that keep you from achieving your goal and decide what you will do to overcome these barriers.
"What keeps you from living an active lifestyle," Anna inquired then. She listed the common barriers reported by the class on the whiteboard.
Too tired
Not enough time
Lack of
support
Fear of failing
"We all know it is important to make changes and set goals, but how do you start?" Anna asked, as Devin wrote the class suggestions on the whiteboard. Anna couldn't help but notice his biceps.
Break large goals into smaller goals
Keep
records (food diaries, exercise charts)
Make the easy changes
first
Write notes to help you remember to exercise or eat more
nutritious food
Ask people to help you; clearly define what you
would like them to do
Reward yourself often, but not with food
Anna passed out goal sheets so the students could set their goals for the week.
"Go ahead and write your goal. Start today, it's important," Anna continued.
After the class members completed their goals, Anna announced, "I would like to lead a hike in two weeks on Saturday at 9 AM if anyone is interested. It's a mild to moderate hike on the Grizzly Gulch trail. I will lead the hike if at least three of you sign up to go."
Todd quickly said, "I'm game," but the others said they would have to check their schedules. Anna added, "You need to let me know by the Friday before the hike whether you want to go." She liked to hike but found that it was more meaningful for her students if there are at least three others along.
The time allotted for the class was nearly over as Anna continued, "It was great meeting you. I look forward to spending more time with you soon. We still need to talk about exercise, nutrition, carb counting, medications, and about high and low glucose. Please call me if you have any questions, and let me know if you are up for the hike at Grizzly Gulch in two weeks."
The students told Anna enthusiastically that they had enjoyed class and were looking forward to learning more. They would check their calendars and call to let her know about the Grizzly Gulch hike. After the students left, Devin and Anna spent about 20 minutes picking up the papers and rearranging the furniture.
Anna sat to organize the students’ goal sheets. She noticed her drowsiness was returning as she tried to focus on the charting. Devin came up behind her and started massaging her neck. She relaxed into it and said, "Devin, that feels wonderful."
"You must be exhausted after being on your feet for so long," Devin said. "I can feel the tension in your neck."
He started rubbing slowly down to her lower back. Anna enjoyed feeling his hands on her back even though she realized it might not be appropriate. She thanked him and stood saying, "I have some charting to do. I will go work on these in my office."
Devin said, "I'll clean up the coffee and tea and put the extra class materials away then we can have lunch."
She poured herself a fresh cup of coffee and picked up her pen to chart. She felt the students had learned from one another and seemed motivated to start working on their goals.
About ten minutes into her charting, she heard the door open and looked up to see Devin. He said he was sorry to disturb her but he needed help getting a glucose meter to work. "No matter how I tried, I couldn't get it to work correctly," he said.
Anna stood and they walked together back to the classroom. Devin put his hand lightly around her waist. She noticed that he had changed out of his uniform. His tan body, sculpted from weight lifting, made it hard for her to take her eyes off him. She could see his muscles bulging under the light-blue and black checked shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. The shirt was open with only one button in place. His denim jeans were tight, and she could see he had a lot to offer.
He held out the chair for her, and as they sat, he snuggled up to her. As they reviewed the operations of the meter, Devin took her hands and held them for a moment too long. He said, "I have been attracted to you from the moment we met."
Flustered, she took his hand to show him where the best place was to stick his finger and how to massage it to get a proper blood drop. Without realizing it and certainly not intending to send a double message, she had wrapped two of her fingers around his index finger and was moving them slowly up and down his finger multiple times. "As you know it helps to rub and massage the finger to increase blood flow before the poke."
Feeling the heat of her skin against his, he smiled, lifted her right hand, kissing each finger one at a time. She didn't resist him. He moved in closer, gently and silently. He kissed the small of her neck tenderly, then more vigorously. He kissed her cheeks, eyelids, eyebrows then her forehead, all the while lightly caressing her neck and shoulders.
Finally, with one quick sweep of his arm, the glucose meter and diabetes supplies went flying off the table. He picked her up, sat her on the oak table and he pulled her pants off. He lifted her legs so they formed a welcoming gate to where he hoped to go. She placed her feet on the table, giving herself to Devin, offering her sweet garden for his personal delight. She loved the feel of his rugged, muscular body; she pushed out the thoughts about his age.
Anna trembled as he kissed her. He moved down between her legs, working his way to her moist gate. Kissing her between her knees and inner thighs, he slowly tasted the beginning of what they hoped would be heaven. He penetrated her moistness with his wet vigorous tongue, pushing it deeper and deeper, tasting, sucking and licking her exactly where she needed it most. Just as she was ready to squeal with delight, she heard a loud knock. Someone was knocking on the classroom door. Anna startled, "Oh my gosh, there's no lock on the door." Breathlessly and frozen, she called out, "Yes?" Her supervisor, Charles, called through the door, "Anna, would you come to my office when you've finished with your student?"
"Yes," she responded, "I will definitely do that." Was she crazy? Why was she taking this risk? Surprised, afraid, and annoyed, she tried to refocus her concentration since she had been so close, so very close to having her velvet tension melt into paradise.
Gasping, shaking, she knew she must stop. She didn't know what had come over her, but there seemed to be an inexplicable force demanding she continue, to risk it all, to have his sturdy cock. It made absolutely no sense that her desire had led her to be so reckless. She had kids to put through college, she needed this job, yet she had to have him; she simply didn't care about anything else at this moment.
Unrestrained she pulled off his shirt, teasing his erect nipples, gently biting, kissing him feverishly, passionately delighting in his spicy taste and musky smells. He lifted her shirt and cupped her breasts as she breathed more heavily.
When she thought she couldn't take it another moment, she began to feel a wave of excitement then suddenly peace come over her. Devin stood, kissed her passionately on the lips. She could taste her own salty juices on his lips, kissing him wildly, sucking his tongue deeply into her open mouth. She couldn't wait to have him deep inside her. Devin willingly obliged, and with a big smile, entered her, gently at first then thrusting intently, rapidly, slowing and then starting again until he started rocking forcefully against her. She was moaning for more and he felt he would explode.
She leaned back, putting her weight on the table and wrapped her legs around his neck. He caressed both breasts, breathing heavily. "Anna, you are so sexy and beautiful," Devin said hoarsely. Breathless, Anna moaned, and she thought about how intoxicating his eager, thick, fullness felt with each powerful thrust.
She could feel him, absolute ecstasy approached with each motion, repeatedly, until he gasped and gave her all he had. He quivered, convulsed, and quietly said, "You're so damn sexy." Paused in a reclining position, breasts uncovered, fully revealing her soft, rose nipples, legs spread wide with her knees bent up and feet on the table, Anna felt beautiful, satisfied, and relished her complete contentment with the man who had delivered it.
Suddenly, the phone rang loudly, demanding attention. Anna felt flushed; confused and unsure, still breathing deeply, she grabbed the receiver and breathlessly said, "Hello?" Hearing a familiar voice say, "Hey Gorgeous," she responded with, "Hey, what are you doing?"
It was her husband, Carl. She was relieved to find herself at her desk fully clothed. Her pen was lying on her charts, and she was not in her classroom. She must have drifted off to sleep. Strange, that came out of left field she thought as her breathing slowed. She didn't think she had been that sleepy, but she did have problems sleeping at night. Going through menopause can be full of surprises.
