Bradley and Me The Omnipod Day 1 Trial

Day 1 Update: I applied the demo pod yesterday on my hip. It made it through the day without any problem; as a matter of fact, I haven’t even noticed it. It doesn’t feel heavy. The pod made it through a bath and the adhesive seems to be sticking well. I haven’t caught it on my clothing. I love that there is no tubing and once stuck, at least with the demo, I’ve been able to forget it is even there…..(continued at http://www.bradleyandme.net/?p=975

DeniseC Walking With Diabetes

I find that I am not tracking my food and not recording my blood sugar numbers. I am in a slump. The BG numbers tell me it is time to assess what is going on in my life. Sugar numbers are 10 points higher this week - it is anniversary of mom’s death, my neighbor just died and the sun is not quite as bright as it was last week - both figuratively and literally.
I will take myself on a Diabetes Date today. What is a Diabetes Date? I

Barb Marche What we learned at a CWD conference...who knew?

My family and I recently went on a vacation. I foolishly booked our travel for two full weeks knowing that I had a lot of family to see and wanting to get full value for all of the money we were giving Air Canada. By the end of our two weeks we had enjoyed time

Jonah 4 Years On Insulin! also a diabetes collage

Today is 4 years since I was diagnosed with diabetes and put on insulin. Yay! Today is also the day I start with Dexcom. I have the sensor in my arm but haven't yet finished the warm up. It was way less painful than the Guardian insertions, which is good.
I have been thinking about the way my years with diabetes have gone.
Year 0, the year before diagnosis, was hard in a really nonspecific struggling way. I knew something was wrong but I thought maybe that something was neurological.… Continue

David Annable My ordeal.

I'm new to this community. In fact, I've never been heavily involved in any support structure for my disease in the 10+ years since my diagnosis. I'll leave the analysis as to why that might be for another time. For my first blog post, I'd like to talk about what has to be one of the most frustrating ordeals that I've been through since I started treatment for type 1 diabetes.

So in September of 2008, I finally switched from multiple daily injections to pump therapy. I went

zazzieuk does anyone else get irritated when their GP decides that whatever is wrong with you its your diabetes

I havn't been able to eat solid food for 3 days without vomiting so i visited my gp..i told them everything that is wrong with me. The vomiting the hot and cold flushes and the cramping....all my gp is interested in is my hba1c...because they get points for whenever it improves..they aren't testing me for anything else. They just don't seem interested that I can't keep food down.

Everytime i see my gp its the same no matter what is wrong.

Just because i completely entrust… Continue

Bradley and Me Today's Appointment with Dr. Kazemi

Today, I saw my endocrinologist, Dr. Kazemi, in his new office. He has a beautiful corner office with windows making up the “corner.” It was a pretty office with all the new furnishings and pictures hanging on the walls, real looking silk flower arrangements and I took a photo of it, in honor of George Ninjabetic’s tradition. I think that the office staff makes a huge difference in an office, too. Dr. K’s sta

Sloane Prison of Needles- Diabetes Art Day

Kind of gory. Kind of cool.

Really fun to make. :)

This is fake blood- it's the control solution for glucose meters. I've always wondered why it came in red. So, of course it ended up in this project.

Lavetta My Favorite Time of The Year

Ok so we are now entering "my favorite time of the year" which just happens to be my most uncontrolled time of the year.

-After that comes the local county fairs with all the homemade goodies(again not carb friendly)

-Next we have my all time favorite(dan da da dunnnnn) THE

Briar-Rose No longer pumping.

I am no longer pumping...the supplies are too expensive, since I am starting my first semester of college. I just can't afford it...which makes me really sad. My parents are also angry with me because by going on the pump I was supposed to improve my blood sugar...but it's gotten worse. My A1C of about 2 weeks ago was 9.2. I don't feel well at all. However, the day that I got my A1C results, I went back to MDI, and my blood sugar has gotten even worse! I don't really know what to do anymore. I'v… Continue

Lizmari How the Media RUINS People's Perceptions About our Diabetes...

So, I got the Diabetic Living Newsletter this week, in my inbox for their newest magazine, or articles, or whatever... And I really don't get it. I really don't, because we know so much about Diabetes these days, yet we are still talking down to people about "table sugar," as if we were in 1985. Yes, their top two articles are: "The Best Low-Sugar Foods," and "Our Best Low-Sugar Desserts"... And... not only do I find it wrong to focus on things like "low sugar," because it's NOT sugar that cause… Continue

Kim That's What I Get.

For today's post, I do not aim to be eloquent or elegant. What I do hope for is a gentle ear (or eye?) upon which I can recount this tale.

Simply put, Today seems to be what happens when I get cocky, and it's bleeping annoying.

For reasons I can't completely explain, Saturday and Sunday were great diabetes days. I stayed around 90 most of the time, despite… Continue

Erin Impromptus at Leisure

Consistency has always been one of my shortcomings. I can start any new program or goal with gusto, only to be quickly stifled by my waning interest and quickly my real-life responsibilities take over. It is the reason I am always on the lookout for new diabetic technology. If I can have some new gizmo or gadget I will get interested in taking care of myself. For a while. And then the apathy sets in again until I find my next new thing. It is also why there are huge gaps in this b… Continue

mother4peace - Christine Diabetes Art Day - My Thoughts on My Life

I know I am early, but I wanted to be sure that I added my little piece of art to participate...(maybe even get the chance to win the No-sugar Added Poetry book).


Thank you to Lee Ann Thill for coming up and promoting this idea. It was fun. I was not really expecting it to be a cathartic process, but it was. I am sure you all know who she is, but in case you don't she has a blog called
