Re: Join JDRF for a Promise Meeting with Senator Menendez!

I am participating in this meeting Tuesday, Nov 24. in Newark NJ with US Sen Robert Menendez (D-NJ). I've never done anything quite like this before, so it's sort of exciting. I am especially happy to be participating as an adult who has "juvenile" diabetes. I know that the senator is a friend to diabetics. Wish me luck in representing us!

I am tired

1) I have not been active at TuDiabetes for many months, after a long time of being very active.

More Stuff in My Life (Part 2)

Our vacation plans have changed, as plans sometimes do.. Instead of a week in June in Nice, France, it is now two weeks in July somewhere TBD around Antalya, Turkey. I got a Hep A vaccine Thursday in preparation for the trip. Hep A vaccine is recommended by the CDC for travel to Turkey. Me being a bit immune-deficient (from immunosuppresent drugs), I did as suggested. My contact at the kidney post-transplant center said that this common vaccine is no problem to me since it is not a live virus.… Continue

"Does it hurt?"

When I was brand new to type 1 diabetes so many years ago, the most horrible thing about it was that I had to take shots and that the shots "hurt". Later on when i thought about maybe using an insulin pump, the most horrible thing about it was that I would be attached to this thing all the time.

Today, I was waiting for my lunch to heat in the microwave oven at work. Someone asked me if I took the finger stick blood tests. They asked me if they hurt. From where I am nowadays, a question like th… Continue

Hi Steve! Thanks for the friend add. I feel like a newbie...23 years to your 43...wow! Congrats on your recent anniversary. Where in Jersey are you? I am in the Western Suburbs of Philly.
