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...

Wow, now I know why I feel the way I feel.... Type 1--39 years. I have often felt the "heavy" feeling and wondered what it was! However, I was diagnosed with Dupryens (sp?) this June and it's where the tendons tighten and pull on my muscles--painf...

Hey, right on for you and your husband---he goes the distance in my mind supporting our cause by actually testing, too! And I find it interesting that a non-diabetic's blood sugar does drop--I always thought it hovered around a 90-100 all the time...

Being sick and stressed out, I still managed to do our activity! Started at 254 and ended with 165 doing walking around the house looking for batteries/cord to attach to my CD player to play music to dance to (my favorite exercise). After abandon...

So, I did something very nice for myself on my biological birthday this year!!!

It just happened to be on my biological birthday, but I did a 5k walk for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation at Dodger Stadium this year!!! I was so happy to do this on my birthday, too. My friend and her three grand-daughters joined me, as well!! I met my goal and then a little more! And then just two days later got sick (I'm sure the two are not related!!). Now I look forward to World Diabetes Day and plan to wear light blue. In fact, one of my friends gave me blue earrings and barrette… Continue

My Experience With The Behavioral Diabetes Institute--the first of its kind in the U.S.A. (so they say)!!! {:D

Rebecca M. Rodick has sent you a message on TuDiabetes - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes

Hey, you all!!!!

I just wanted to let all of you know about my experience at the Behavioral Diabetes Institute's Type I luncheon which was held on Saturday, October 10, in the La Jolla (San Diego) area.

Aside from the two mistakes in driving instructions (which made me much later than I pathetically, usually am!), I had a very nice time!

The theme was Celebration of Strength and there was a gu… Continue

Hi there. I just wanted to stop by and thank you for your comment. It helped me greatly. Last night was awkward for me, and that blog post came out of nowhere. I feel rather silly for it now, but your comment was greatly appreciated. Thanks again, and if you don't mind, I sent you a friend request.

Hi Rebecca, Thank you for getting back to me and I'm glad you're OK with us using your photo. If you email me your address (tneithercott@diabetes.org), I can send you a copy of the issue when it comes out, regardless of whether we use that photo.

Thanks again!

Hi Rebecca! I I haven't seen the book, Cloudy with A Chance of Meatballs. I heard it was cute but they should not have made a movie out of it. How can you take a picture book and make it into a full lenght movie? That is Hollywood for you.
I do not know of a Greg Shaw. I had some relatives in Salinas and Fresno. I haven't seen or heard from them since around 1981. Bill and Carol Shaw were in the Salinas area. Bill would be about 70 now. There kids would all be in there 40's. Hmmm. You never know. He might be related somehow. I know my dad's family came from Odessa, TX originally.

Rebecca, I'm a writer with Diabetes Forecast and in an upcoming issue we're going to be featuring Terry Keelan. A photo he submitted includes you. If we decide to use that photo, is it OK with you that your photo appear in a print and possibly online edition of the magazine?

Thanks! Tracey Neithercott

Hi Rebecca
I grew up in Burbank,, my parents and a lot of my friends still live there, so I visit often. A meet-up sounds great. Years ago when I was a young adult we had a D social group , where we would meet for dinner and such. Many of the people from that group became close friends I see you are an Actress, one of my sons is an Actor, Take care
Joe
