Diabetes steals Web site

It’s no laughing matter: Diabetes stole this woman’s life. But not before stealing her Web site:

I don’t know which is sadder: the loss of a friend or this headline on Yahoo! Shine.

It’s scary, but it’s not pretty

How will my struggles to get though this mess impact my health?

I think I need to go lie down in a cool, dark room with a bottle of Advil.

Error in plain sight incites readers with insight

Any reader with any insight  into the difference between site and sight might be incited to violence (or pity) for the writer of this nonsense on Yahoo! Shine:
