Diabetes Shorthand

As I type these posts, I realize I've picked up some of the shorthand I've seen in others' blogs. I'm getting ready to point my parents and some other non-d folks to my blog, and I'm thinking now that they might need some help in interpreting some of this lingo. I'm sure this isn't complete, but it should help.
