As a person with diabetes, my life is full of numbers. Kind of ironic for a person who managed to get out of taking any college math by substituting some biology classes and is forever tied to numbers now. Most of them are numbers I don't like (c...

Rebecca, Thanks for sharing, being apart of something bigger is so important. Also, a number of people said their non-diabetic parents/partners participated in the Big Blue Test. I did not include the people who did not have diabetes in these figu...

Thanks for organizing all the info. I was wondering what results we had! I really loved being a part of this event and the one on July 14 (I was crying alone in my room, but feeling a part of a larger community then....). I've always known how exe...

Awesome, Matthew. Thanks for posting.

Performing some light analysis was the easy part. The way you organize, involve, and motivate people with diabetes is the hard part. Excellent work. Quite inspiring!

Making our way towards a cure

While down in Florida, I had the amazing opportunity to visit the Diabetes Research Institute in Miami. The private tour ranged from speaking with Gary Kleiman who provided detailed information on medical advancements on a layman's level to being introduced to all the troops (scientists and bio-med engineers) in the trenches. At each stage, more information was shared with Mandy (my girlfriend) and me than I could have dreamed of.

During the visit, my mind was already churning anticipating the… Continue

Diabetes and College: Alcohol Survival Tips for a Diabetic from a Diabetic (this could save your life)

Here's some more practical advice for staying out of the hospital if you decide to do some partying in college. A lot of people keep this subject "Hush, Hush" because sticking your head in the sand is easier than actually addressing issues...

Show this to ur kids, it could save his/her life:

-Stay away from the Jungle Juice (fruit juice based concoctions) at frat parties. Yes,it's free and you'll want some but trust me there's NO WAY to measure the ingredients

-Test your BG A LOT when you're… Continue

Diabetes App Review: Diabetes News Update - iPhone Diabetes Technology

This one looked promising, especially for bloggers, educators, doctors, and professionals who need to stay in the know on the go.
I opened the free program to discover 10 news headlines ranging from "Strict Blood Sugar Control Lowers Heat Risks in Diabetics" from May 21 to "Glucose Control Pays Long-Term Benefits for Diabetics" from May 20. Both of these were listed as from HealthDay news source.
Really? Really?

I clicked the first headline, which brought me to a page that had the following art… Continue

hi, Matt, I just did a search on the forums for vitiligo, and there's only 8 mentions of it, all from a while back. I read that blog on the Mexican cream, and tell me how it works for you if you decide to try it. I don't think there's much hope for me, because I've had it more than 40 years. I used to be very self-conscious about it, but now I could care less. Hardly anyone even looks twice; you'd be surprised to know how people don't notice things. Like I said, I wear my diamonds and bling all the time and if people notice anything, that's what they comment on.

there used to be a stain, that if you carefully applied it with a qtip, you could match your skin. I say stay out of the sun! it's bad for your skin anyway. It's tough if you have it on your face - I do, but I can wear makeup to cover it up. The places where I have the most are my hands and arms. It does come and go over the years, I used to have a lot on my chest, but now not so much. I used to have a theory that when I'd get a spot on one side, like my elbow, pretty soon I'd be getting a similar spot on the other elbow.

don't worry about what the girls think, either. I found my true love, and he doesn't even care one bit. my best friends don't notice either. I even had a boyfriend for a long time who had it, and he grew a beard to cover it up.

Hey there, I came across your profile randomly looking at discussions. What kind of medical tech company is it you run? I'd always prefer to support a real person if possible rather than a big faceless corportation.
