I hope Manny won’t mind my posting this here. My first attempt at 7 words for life with the 'betes was:
Eat carefully. Test your sugar. CARRY BACKUPS.
What have you got for us? See details on my very geeky contest here:

I can’t wait to hear 'em!
Every day is different, not exact science
Pay attention. Lick your fingers. Move forward.
Laughing at lick your fingers.

Great, Jeff. Can you post your entry under comments at http://www.diabetesmine.com/2008/03/the-seven-wor-2.html ?
Loves it…
Amy, it is done. thanks for the blog question.
Whatever you do, don’t freak out! I work in a restaurant and we say that all the time. It works for us when things get super-crazy and the entire dining room is hungry and we’re busier than a one-armed paper hanger. So, I adopted this mantra a few years back and applied it to my family life. My husband and I use it when talking to our kids. And, I use it daily with my diabetes. Because really, when your bloodsugar is high or low, freaking out is the WORST thing you should do…right?
The other one I use is keep your poop in a group. Staying organized with diabetes is crucial.
Hope these helped and made you smile.

I finally ordered my prizes today. Got a beautiful bracelet, at Sticky Jewelry and a great bag at Stick Me Designs. I am very excited. Thanks for the great gifts and I will send you a picture once both arrive.
Thanks again.
