Hello! My name is Jennifer Lindley. I have always been passionate about diabetes as I have had Type 1 for over 28 years and my son, Jordan is Type 1 too. He has had diabetes most of his life (19 years – he is 20). We have been very fortunate thru our lives to be able to use the most advanced technology to monitor our diabetes. I have always believe in quality of life while we wait for a cure.
I am the owner of Essential Preparedness Products (EPP). We are a new Utah based company. We launched our first product – Diabetic Ecase August 2011. I developed this product based upon the events that took place from Hurricane Katrina. As I watched the events of Hurricane Katrina unfold, I remember a news clip of a person stranded on his rooftop. He had spray painted the word “DIABETIC” on the roof. I knew at that moment what his needs were and felt helpless. We are also in production of an Asthma Ecase that will launch this year.
My vision and mission are simple...
Vision: To revolutionize emergency preparedness for people living with chronic illnesses.
Mission: To prepare people living with chronic illnesses to be their own personal hero through the receipt of a Diabetic Ecase, preparedness education and community inclusion.
I have also had the privilege to serve on the BOD for JDRF – Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation - Utah Chapter.

I am not doing weekly BG checks at this point. She is not interested in this and I don't want to make her think I am worrying about this. So we check about one a month just to see where it is. We have…"

"I had my 2 year old tested at Trial net within the last 6 months. I was very anxious for the results and luckily they cam back negative. All the antibodies have been linked (at least loosely) to the future development of T1, but there are some which…"
jlin1024 replied to jlin1024's discussion 'Pre-Diabetes Testing - Type 1 Diabetes Trial Net Screening'"Thank you for the quick reply. I am thinking along the same lines as you are. I don't feel that she should have to take on the worry that she may get diabetes. My doctor has been great to work with on this. My daughter is already very…"
bobnominous replied to jlin1024's discussion 'Pre-Diabetes Testing - Type 1 Diabetes Trial Net Screening'"Depending on age, I would not tell my daughter until it became necessary. You can already push a healthy eating style by example, and you know the signs to watch for, so she is unlikely to be in any immediate danger. By not saying anything, you…"

Being a T1 diabetic and having my oldest son diagnosed as an infant, I always feared for my 2 other children getting diabetes. I had my 10 year old daughter tested in the Type 1 Diabetes Trial Net Screening because she was showing some crazy blood sugars when she was sick a while back.From what I understand on this test... they are tested for 3 particular autoantibodies. If the test is negative, then no diabetes showing at this point of life. If 1 or more autoantibodies are present then there…See More

acidrock23 said… Pretty much visiting and kibbitzing and exchanging information, stories, sympathy, etc.? I don't bother too much with groups as there are so many of them, I mostly hang out on the forums and bit on the blogs and that's it. A lot of people only hang out in the groups and that's ok too. I also do the TuAnalyze reporting up at the top and like tossing my numbers into their pot as it feels like I'm doing something?
