The longest type 1 diabetic

Started this discussion. Last reply by Lee Sep 4, 2010. 37 Replies

I often draw inspiration from the length of diabetes in a person. A few years back I remember seeing a pamphlet about a man with the longest tenure of diabetes at my diabetes clinic. I should have…Continue

Type 1 diabetes and personal theories of how it developed.

Started this discussion. Last reply by Muragaki Aug 26, 2010. 32 Replies

I'm thinking of the theory of how my diabetes developed. I had the chicken pox years before type 1 diabetes diagnosis and a local study found a commonality in the chicken pox and type 1 diagnosis. I…Continue

The legalities of carrying around syringes.

Started this discussion. Last reply by MikeyType1 Jul 28, 2010. 6 Replies

The syringe is so taboo. I am curious about the legalities of carrying one. Like Doris, I had an issue with the authorities on carrying a syringe without having my prescription. I'm guessing that if…Continue

A few questions

Started this discussion. Last reply by SF Pete Jun 4, 2010. 23 Replies

I've been thinking about some issues in regards to diabetes for a while. I consider diabetics to be drug addicts. I don't see this in a negative way. I embrace the notion. The other thing is that I…Continue

Court date tomorrow. An art opening Friday. I have always been a diabetic. I'm not white, black brown or other. I am a diabetic. I was a diabetic before I was a man and it has been less than human. Tomorrow I will exercise an identity outside of that when I pay the price for being an artist. I suspect much of the ado of it had to do with the content of the art. Syringes are in so much of it. As a public practitioner of art I have had the most responses from heroin addicts. I've got nothing… Continue

I'm legally blind right now. One thing I can tell you is the disabalitiy systems dirty little secret....they deny EVERYONE 3 times in order to weed out the fakers. I lost all my back pay because I didn't know this at the time and hired a lawyer, therefore losing a TON of money in back pay. Don't make the same mistake.

Thanks so much...unfortunately at this point I'm legally blind. The reason your friend was denied his disability is the disability systems dirty little secret...they automatically deny you 3 times hoping to weed out the fakers and save money paying out to the truly disabled....disability's dirty little secret.

One dirty little secret the social security office won't tell you is that as a matter of habit they automatically deny you three times. I finally had to go on disability because I was getting too blind to drive a car and I had ulcers on my feet that wouldn't heal because I was standing all day. Because I didn't know this I ended up hiring a lawyer and losing all my back pay as payment...quite a hefty sum, I assure you. Could have put a down payment on a house with the amount of money I gave away to my lawyer. I'm still pissed at the system to this very day. And they wonder why we have a homelessness problem....

hi Frank, Happy Birthday! I was thinking about you this past Sunday when we were at the "Unite for a Healthy Future" event at the Academy of Medicine in NYC. The second floor was dedicated to artists with connections to chronic diseases and the art being made was pretty good. Andreina, Manny's wife, did a beautiful piece, and several other Tu artist were there like LeeAnn Thill and Zoey Stevens. You would have blown the place out of the water.


Hope you have a great day and get to have some fun.
