I like this blog because I identify with the kid in the blog and I think he's cool.  You should look at the last video he made. 

Looking forward to meeting new d-blog friends, Nicholas

The Beach

Hey guys,
Lately it's been raining heaps but we were able to fit in a quick trip to the beach.  It was warm but not warm enough to swim - heck this is South Australia! Hardy (my non-diabetic dog) almost got swept out to sea.  I personally thought it was hilarious how he got dunked by the wave.  Which makes me think of another story I'd like to tell...
A few months ago in Warrnambool a friend and I went bodyboarding.  We went about three quarters of the way out to the buoy.  Next minute we were past the buoy on our way to the Antarctica!!  We were in a huge rip.
Back on the beach, my Mum and my friend's Mum were yelling, running and crying.  They acted as if there was a shark behind us!  We didn't know what the heck was going on, we didn't even realise how dangerous the situation was. 
Next thing two lifesavers turn up and we finally clicked.  My arms were burning up from all the paddling.  By the time we got back in we were so tired we could have gone to bed. I felt like I'd just come out of the refrigerator. 
Fortunately my levels were a little bit higher to start with that morning so I didn't have a hypo.  Mum said I wasn't to go anywhere near water for the next month including the shower or bath!!!!! 

Sorry I didn't update my blog in a while.  I was going to shut it down.  Then I thought again.

Hope you've all had a great week, Nick

what can I do.

Hi guys I have a problem with my blog.  It says I have nine followers but when I go to (View Blog) at the top of the page it only shows me seven. So I was wondering if someone would know what to do.
So to get back to diabetes well I'm feeling great and it is only annoying to me if I'm doing something and I have to test or inject.  It doesn't hurt any more to inject or test unless I'm tired or pissed off but besides that it is great.  I hope all the diabetics are feeling as great as me and my followers too.

So ..... yeah ..... :P

Hi Guys,

I have put in a new poll so you can vote on my blog and tell me if it's informative, awesome, interesting, or stupid. so yeah ....

Lately I have been going pretty well but a while ago I was very tired and if you're tired it makes things a lot more painful ... literally! So I advise you not to get tired whilst putting insulin into your body, mate.

Ummm, OK - hopefully Mom will let me buy a new phone for $50 in K'mart, because Marlee, Izi's best friend, bought one there.

Hope everyone out there that looks at my blog that has type one diabetes is feeling well. And all those normal ones as well, of course! Like ... some of my friends :) sorry, can't name anyone. he he he.

Now imagine....

Now, imagine if you were this man.  If I was this man I would poo my pants because it would make me feel like soooo scared.  I hope none of you guys have come sooooooo close to dying.  It makes me think twice before I go and swim out deep, but a shark has not been sighted in Warrnambool for 45 years so that makes me feel a little better but not much.  I hope the people that have diabetes are feeling good today because I am feeling great.  If you are not you should watch a movie or some TV and if you do not like that you can also play soccer or cricket.  If that does not help then I really do not know what would.  I just bought a new watch from K'mart so that is good for me anyway.  You could also swim at the beach if you live near it.  I DO.  Good for me.  HAHAHA.  That was fun - I want to do it again.  No silly .  Why not ?  OK I'll stop the act.

Going well

Hi guys.  I know I haven't updated my blog for a long time but I've felt well for sooooooooo long I haven't had anything to write about.  I am very well and I've gotton used to all the pricking of my fingers to test how high my glucose is and I've also got used to the insulin.  Sometimes I even give myself one shot of insulin in the morning if I'm having pancakes, which I'm having this morning so that will be very yummy.  I'm also having a friend over for a play this afternoon.  On friday I went to watch my sister act in cats which is about stray cats.  It was awsome to watch and I got to see some friends of mine at the performance too.
