The rocky reality of hypoglycemia

This vlog (video-log) could have just as easily been titled “A Consequence of Hypoglycemia”, but alas, that name was already taken. So I’ll just go with the “Rocky Reality…” name.

Wordless Wednesday: De-stress

My friend Diana posted this picture Friday on Facebook. She took it at a bagel shop in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Despite the obvious carb/sugar implications, I found it oddly appropriate for the D-community.
