I have had Type One diabetes for 40 years now and took flu shots up until 12 years ago, when I had a strong feeling not to take one, so I didn't. Didn't get sick that year and so I didn't take a flu shot for three years. Then I decided to take a flu…
Okay, it's the day before the meet-up and it's raining today!!!
If it's raining this hard tomorrow... then yes, I will reschedule the meet-up, so check back (it will probably be for March 18, Sunday)...
If it is just drizzling, then I will be ther…
Wow!! I didn't know you were diabetic or even on American Idol until the news was on about your twitter!!
I like the term "beetes", btw!
Your voice does stand out!
I don't like the media calling it a "complication" as most people think a "complic…
If it rains, we can meet in the nature center... or if it is driscley, it's nice to walk a little.... (how is "driscley" spelled?!! ;o)
I've had Type One for 40 years, and yes, there have been scary times for me, too! Finally I called my endo. and he answered my questions--by phone!!! That helped a lot!
My Mom is a Type Two and has been taking Byetta for a while now. It does cause…
Oh, it's on a discussion I did last year. I just found it! Maybe I should blog it, instead. Easier to find, maybe? Anyway, if you do read it let me know and let me know what you think....
Gosh, I love this discussion!!! I keep trying to loooovvvvveeee my diabetes!! You should read my letter to diabetes I wrote last year.... (I think I posted it on my page somewhere or a post or discussion...) Ugh!
I do remember once while growing up…
After I started taking Fish Oil (from Costco), my levels did change for the better, not a lot, but a difference. My doctor told me to keep taking them and I did until I couldn't afford to buy them recently. When I make enough money again, I will go…
whew! I'm glad he got an insulin pen! None of us want to be in that type of situation. I've always packed extra, at least two to three weeks worth when traveling and since last year bought Frio cases, one which is a large pack and have had all bottl…
Yeah, stay warm! ;) I heard on the news tonight that it will probably rain this weekend and it looked like a good rain, not sprinkles!! Ugh!! Oh, well, I tried... Maybe another time! At least we can be warm while watching the Oscars/Academy Awards!…

Diagnosis at age 7 and 3/4, August 29, 1970....
The summer of 1970. I can remember being at Disneyland; drinking water, going on a ride, drinking water, going on a ride, drinking water, going to the bathroom, drinking water, going on a ride, and my sisters always yelling at me, "Come on, Becky. Hurry up!" (NO, I don't like to be called Becky anymore...As an adult I prefer Rebecca or Becka).
I was diagnosed the day before my Mother's birthday, August 29, 1970. I can remember two families from the Los Angeles area visiting us in my h… Continue

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

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

Joe Brocato said… - 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
