Hi All,This is Mikaela Conley, and I am a health reporter at ABC News. I am writing a story for our national website on a study that found a certain type of insulin may only need to be injected three times a week. I was hoping to speak with someone living with diabetes for my story to find out how you think this could affect your overall health and quality-of-life. If you're interested in sharing your experiences and thoughts with me, please email me at mikaela.a.conley.-ND@abc.com . I'll get…See More

Their stuff makes carrying around all my bits a whole lot easier. Pockets every where. I have a hoodie, a jacket and I just ordered the vest. It's great for keeping what you need on you. Plus, room for glucose tab tubes!"

Marie B said… - there is a show opening up at the NY Historical Society TODAY on the discovery of insulin that I'd love to see a review on - and compare diabetes care today to the death sentence it was before 1921.

Donna H said… - Hi Kaela, welcome. You sure came to the right place to find a bunch of people who are candid about their diabetes. This site is an incredible community. I have LADA (essentially Type 1 that hits later in adulthood). It's the rarest type of diabetes so I had never met anyone else with it before joining Tudiabetes. Not only did I find others like me, the founder has it too. So the site immediately felt like home. If you need any help navigating or have any questions, please ask away.

- hi kaela, welcome! sorry I was at the doctor when you sent out your request for interviews. Do you work at WABC? I am crazy about Sade in the afternoon. I live in NJ. I would love to see TuDiabetes get some publicity too. This place is amazing. I had had type 1 for 40 years when I came here almost 3 years ago, desperately searching for answers. I really do believe it was life changing to finally not feel alone in my diabetes. Please keep us posted on when and where your story will appear. thanks!
