Help Find A Cure for Type 1 Diabetes

Walk of Hope will be held on Saturday, October 6, 2007. This is Riley's 2 year anniversary of having diabetes. All proceeds from the walk will go to The Iacocca Foundation for research to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes.

To donate, click here. When you fill in your info. under "designation" type in Walk of Hope, so the money will get credited to my walk.

There are literally millions of reasons why we need a cure. Here's one of them.

Why I hardly ever post here

Hi guys. I hardly ever post here. But, I'm around. I visit often and join in discussions occasionally.


I just wanted to refer you to my regular blog. I've been posting at My Son Has Diabetes for a little over 2 years now. That's why I never post here. It's hard for me to keep up with one blog, let alone two.


I probably won't post here again. I have a feed to my blog on my tudiabetes page so my most recent post is always in the

A Strange Question

I was speaking to another mother of a child with D today about Walk of Hope. I had invited her daughter to come out and walk as well as to be included in my Faces of Hope presentation. I didn't even ask for a donation because I knew they participated in a JDRF walk.

She said she had never heard of The Iacocca Foundation. I wasn't surprised. I'm sure plenty

Does this bother you?

I'm paraphrasing here, but read this statement from a radio ad and see what you think:

"...kids eating school lunches leading them down the path to obesity and diabetes"



Does that statement bother anyone else?



It is a radio ad for Boar's Head turkey. I'm in the car a lot and I hear this ad ever… Continue

Hopeful Faces

Walk of Hope is coming up in a few short weeks. I am doing a presentation again this year entitled "The Faces of Hope".

It's just a little slide show of people with Type 1 with a info like their age, age at diagnosis, hobbies, where they live (if they chose to share). Along with that I need a picture.

I had 22 hopeful faces last year. But, this year I only have 10.

If any of you would like to help me out I'd appreciate it

Hi, Penny! How's things going?

Hi Penny
I checked out your blog My son has diabetes. It made me cry. I hope to start a blog myself soon. I know it has been so helpful to me to read about others trials coping with this terrible disease our kids have. I'm sure that it would be helpful for me to just put the everyday problems and the good things that happens in writing. Thanks for being there.

Penny, did your son start out on Lantus? Did he adjust to it pretty fast? How was your experience switching to the pump? How long did the process take once you decided to use a pump, until he was fully "up and running" on the pump?
