Quick Survey: Do you skip breakfast? If so, why?

Please share your one word!

I am gathering information on how people felt/feel at diagnosis (of diabetes). You can read the whole post on my blog, or share your word here (one word that describes how you felt when you were diagnosed). I'd love to hear from you!

Diabetes Dads

Happy Father's Day to all the "diabetes dads": dads with diabetes, dads who have kids with diabetes, and those who take care of their dad with diabetes.

My dad and I had a special diabetes relationship. Every three months Dad took me to the hospital for my "fasting" blood draw. Then we went out for breakfast and he took me to school (late). He would pick me up again a few hours later and take me back to the hospital for my "non-fasting" blood draw and appointment with my…

Jane, I don't know if she has the time, but manny's wife Andreina is an artist and responsible for our web design. She designed the cover for our "No Sugar Added" poetry book, did you see it? Andre is also well connected with other artists doing diabetes-related work (see some pictures on my page from an event in NYC) so I would ask her for some suggestions.
