I'm Monica. I'm 18. I go to University of Houston. I've been Diabetic for 13 years now, and my favorite place in the world is Camp Sweeney (Diabetes Camp!!).
My favorite drink is Crystal Light, but sometimes I can't resist smoking it.......I also enjoy sports-running, soccer, hockey, and swimming. Just about anything else, too...
I hope you enjoy me (lol).....And just remember, "Don't Stop Believing!!!!"

"Severe" Gastroparesis after EXACTLY 13 Years of Diabetes
Pretty much, in my circumstance-my stomach doesn't digest food at all.
Usually, for most, it's delayed emptying. But, it was determined that in 90 minutes, my stomach only sends 1% of food to my small intestines. In the past year, I carefully dosed myself with insulin-but with fear. Food absorption obviously was and is completely unpredictable, so I've had scary hypos.

LIVING with Diabetes Contest Entry: Group 1
Camp Sweeney: a Life Changing Experience
On December 5, 1994, at the age of five, my life changed forever.

- Hey Monica,
Just saw the info you posted about the broadcasts. Do you mind creating events for them here? When you are on the Events page, just click on the Add an Event link and it will take you to a page where you enter all the details. It's fairly straightforward, but DO let me know if you run into any issues: heads up, you need to add an image for every event.
Take care and THANKS so much for the information!

Thanks for the info on the video broadcasts. I do hope they also archive them (I'm sure they will).
My family book project is wrapping up so I've a list of blog posts to write. I'll be sure to include this in one of them.

- You know what? You can form your own group in TuDiabetes: you could form a Camp Sweeney group and invite your friends from there to join. You can be the administrator of the group, etc.
BTW, Tim's song was very touching and he is a very good artist. You should invite him to join, if you are in touch with him.
