[stylist] low glucose, la toilet, bad romance

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Thanks, Chris. As an adult, my lows are more like how you describe it. I
tend to just fall asleep or feel half-aware. Not sure why they were so
intense as a child, but I've heard this happens a lot with type ones as
they get older.

It's frightening for me to read, not sure if it evokes the same response
in others. Thanks for reading and commenting.

Hey Bridgit-- you have obviously spent a lot of time on your insulin 
reaction piece. The lyrical language is totally your imprint, and you do
a 
good job portraying how you felt that day. Although I'm also a type I 
diabetic, it's a little hard for me to relate, because my blood sugar
lows 
are quite different. I tend to feel sluggish and stupid, as if I'm drunk
and 
carrying a hundred pound backpack. But your description is vivid, and 
frightening, which is exactly what you were going for.

Bill - I enjoyed your poem, Antoinette, although I don't understand
where 
the title comes from. However, the meaning comes through loud and clear
to 
me. It's kind of how I started to accept my blindness after it hit years

ago. This sucks, but it could be a lot worse. Nice job.

To be honest, True Romance was a little long for me. I get it, meaning I
can 
fill in the blanks, see the people, we all know their stories. But for
me, 
it doesn't evoke the same emotion as reading/watching 'The Godfather' or

'The Sopranos' or  'Good Fellas'. I do appreciate you sharing it, and
keep 
on writing.
