A review of the Diabetes Log iPhone App

New Year, New Intentions

I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes on June 15th, 2006 at the age of 39. I was told it is Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA) (Type 1.5?).

I am a husband, father, information security analyst, web developer and Mac geek, amateur photographer, Belgian ale and Ethiopian coffee enthusiast, and person with Type 1 diabets.

Diabetes Alert Day.

People sometimes ignore the rather thin 140lb, 5ft 4in, human being standing in front of them.
