TV Show - Saving Grace. In the last season, one of the cops was ID'd as being diabetic - this was after 3 years of watching him eat donuts. I love donuts.

How old are these QuickSets? Where did they come from? I have had no problems with any of the new QS.

Hi, Renee. I'm probably being repetitious here, but I hope you ask minimed for some samples of other sets, especially the Sure-T, before you give up on their pump. I'm on the 522 part time, and do so much better on pump days than MDI days. (After ma…

My GP suggested it. I have to lose 100 lbs, at a pound a week, in two years. So far, eight weeks, eight pounds. (Good start.)

Vicki, I may be speaking from inexperience, however I've used to OmniPod for 2 years and just switched to the MiniMed Paradigm 523. My average glucose was around a 174mg/dl which left me with a 7.1 or so a1c. Since being on the MiniMed, I've dropped…

Maybe we can get a good database of movies/tv shows (old or new) that have roles where someone in the story has T1 or T2. I know Hollywood rarely gets the truth of the disease correct. But I wouldn't…

Go With Peace

My own smile is but a mirror of those around me

My own heart merely a reflection

Not of it's true self

For to show itself would reveal

That which others do not wish to see

You sit before the warmth of your fire

Yet here I stand inside the ashes

You looking in

I looking out

Hear not my sorrow and pain

See not my weeping

See only your own reflection within me

And go with peace in your heart

The American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions take place in a different city in the US every year. This year, some 17 thousand people gathered in Orlando, in spite of the record central Florida summer heat and humidity.

Diabetes Expo 2010

I was invited by Johnson & Johnson Medical (Philippines) to guest for their exhibit, the "Word in Your hand" contest, sponsored by their One Touch Glucose Meter Systems. The contest, which idea came form DHF's Word in Hand, is already running on it's second year, and I am so blessed to be able to grace the said occasion again. It was just astounding! The booth was swarmed by people eager to join the contest! Though tiring, smiles in the peoples' face sure made it all worth it.Continue

3 weeks - Hope it will be temporary

So I am now 4 weeks into this diabetes thing, 3 weeks on insulin.

This week my levels have all been easily within target range (of 70-120). I am hopeful that this could mean that things are recovering. Is that possible?

Anyway, stupid me decided just now to test if this is really the case by having a pig-out on peanut butter sandwiches. Yes, I do have some sort of eating disorder - bulimia without the throwing up?!?!?! It is terribly hard to control one's diet / weight / sugar levels with this… Continue
