Impact on kids : )

I never noticed how much of an impact I made on my nieces and nephews till I saw them playing house last week. The kids are 7 and 5yrs. They had a baby who had diabetes. They used a block for the meter and a pen for the lancing device and had little pieces of paper for test strips. What caught my attention was when I heard them say "uh-oh I think her sugars low, we need to test her. She's hungry and tired. Poor thing " They tested and sure enough she was low! They got some juice(another block) a… Continue

Blood Glucose Units Converter App by Bernard Farrell

Some of you may recall the news we shared mid-October about the support in TuDiabetes of so-called Open Social applications.

I was on my way to work at a summer camp for kids, I was going to be a camp counselor, when I started having all the now, typical to you and me, signs and symptoms. Peeing a lot, extreme thirst, muscle soreness, blu… Continue

I've been pumping for approximately 8 years. During this time I've experienced a few blood gushers when taking my old infusion site out. Tonight (13 minutes ago) was the first time this has happened while urinating (sorry, true story). I decided to rip out my old site during #1 (pee pee). Without going into a lot of detail, all I can say is getting through this predicament takes one talented multitasking diabetic. With blood squirting and fly… Continue

Learning From Each Other, Finding Common Ground



Transcription of the audio from the video
In recent times, emotions in our community have been stirred up. Very strong expressions from "across the aisle" that appears to divide type 1 and type 2 diabetes have come up.

It is a fact: type 1 and type 2 are different conditions and there are even more types of diabetes. All have their things that make them unique and more challenging for some people and perhaps not as challenging for others. There are those with splendid… Continue
