Insulin. Specifically, fast-acting insulin to be taken with meals.

Okay!
Insulin?
(I think I've heard of it....)

It's a hormone that your pancreas' islet cells produce to break carbohydrates down into usable energy.
I'm a Type 1 diabetic, so most of my islet cells are dead, meaning that my pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin for proper bodily function on its own. I need to inject insulin naturally in addition to the small amount that the remaining cells do produce.

Sorry if that was personal....
oh, I remember now.

I am trying not too crack up!

*Laughs uncontrollably* Oh my dear, goodnight Saffy.
Don't spill the warm milk, and no cookie crumbs in the bed.

Oh, and no driving!

Simple explanations of bodily functions written at three in the morning = lots of edits five seconds after saving.

Humalog also smells funny. It's very distinct.
For some reason, it's only the Lantus (long-acting -- I take it once per day, and it works to keep my blood sugar steady by constantly working just a bit to bring it down) that makes me somehow feel nostalgic.
Maybe that isn't the right word... uh... woozy? In a good way? Pretty sure that there's some dopamine in there somewhere?
Makes me think of the pleasant hospital and coming home.
