Adding insulin to type 2 treatment regime

It is one of those well known myths but going back on Insulin is definitely not a failure on your part, it is just an adjustment and we do what works

Prelude to the Tour de Cure- A few questions on fund raising etiquette

Last week I attended the Northeast Ohio tour de cure launch party for the tour which will be on June 13 this year.

It is my first time participating on the tour as a Red Rider, mostly I have always just put my contribution in the mail but more and more I find myself wanting and have made the decision to be more involved.

So here I was at the launch party with a few goals to introduce myself to the local ADA community and volunteers and also to find a team I could join this year… Continue

My diabetes horror story

I hate writing about diabetes horror stories mine included, not because its saddening but because it puts me in a very judgmental mood and I do not believe fear is a good motivator for any aspect of life.

The recent Oprah diabetes special comes to mind. While she used the typical fear factor to show how devastating poor diabetes management principles can be. That was one of the many wrong things with that episode which was meant to galvanize diabetics and pre-diabetics into action but f… Continue

My kids are sabotaging my diet plan

My kids are the greatest things in the world and I love them to death but the little rascals are doing major damage to my diabetic diet plan and I am beginning to think it is by design.


Last night at the dinner table, as usual am trying to cox my 2 year old into eating his dinner and I say the most typical line that I have heard from other parents countless of times.


" Do you know that there are kids in Africa starving right now coz they don't have enough to eat ?" I said and th

Why did I get Married to a diabetic too

Last night I had the pleasure of watching the talented Mr. Tyler Perry latest movie and I must tell you while I am big fan of his work I always tend to shy away from sequels especially from the movie makers I

hello!
We were chatting the other day on the #dmsa tweetchat. I just wanted to know if you had gone by my website. I haven't update the site in a while since I have been plagued with some health issues that I am trying to resolve. From my experience I will be putting up a section on how to deal with hospitals soon.

what other diabetic activities are you involved with?

Yeah I am gutted that we are out but what can we do Germany played well man they did well picking all such young talented team looks like they going to be wanted left right and centre by every club.
Still rooting for Ghana seeing as England have come back to us it would be great to see an African team lift the cup in an African country.
How are you doing?Hope everything is well.
