My Letter of Advice and Encouragement to someone just like you.

Posted on April 6, 2011 at 7:48pm 6 Comments

I receive emails and messages from so many wonderful people. I want to say thank you so much for taking the time to do so, and express yourself. Of the messages I get, some really hit me hard. The ones that revolve around the struggle of being a teenager with diabetes the most.



I recently received a message from someone living that struggle. They are alone, depressed, and not taking good control of their diabetes. Doing random amounts of insulin, not testing their blood sugars, and… Continue

Hi bill, i watched your recent video this morning and you are just the passionate, optimistic, gracious person i would like my son to be as an adult. he is 13 diag at 10, he is responsible, intellegent and by no means a risk taker, so he is well equipt to handle his D and does well, he is just very self concious, does not want to connect with others ( i get it he wants to deal with it and forget it) and feels that i do not understand. he is good when things are going good, when things arent well he can be defiant, sad and angry like when i needed to wake him up to check him last night because i put him to bed at over 300 thanks to a carb fest with dad on duty, ( really he ussually does well with him but clearly some bad choices last night) so it was a rough night but my heart is a little less heavy seeing your attitude, i try to instill these values in him and someday i hope he will be like you! best wishes, amy

Bill, Hope all is well in your life (baby Kendall ect..)? Thanks for the support on my blog, it means a lot.

FYI-I refer new Dexcom users to your video on youtube all the time (actually I just posted a link to your youtube video yesterday within a discussion on the main TU board).

Be well.

You know I mean no harm, my comment was all in good fun. I love your videos (refreshing to see your upbeat attitude), always have. I told you that your Dexcom video saved my life, right?

The weather in Vegas is decent right now, it's only 100 degrees on the 1st day of fall. I'm sure your sister will have a blast here... hard not to.

I just got back from London England. Wow, what an amazing country. If you ever get the chance (if you already haven't), I highly recommend going there. Check out my photo's (there are only a few) on my TU page when you have a second.

Hope you are having a fantastic week!
