Diabetes is a potentially life threatening disease that affects over 21 million Americans who know they have it and countless millions more who either have it and don't know it or are on their way to getting it and don't have a clue.

It is rapidly becoming a world wide epidemic due to…

I’ve lived with fear since I was a teen and diagnosed with Diabetes. But I didn’t let fear rule my life. I knew from my almost month stay in the hospital that what I had was serious. I knew from the moment I came out of my coma. My first act to show my Diabetes that I wasn’t going to let it limit me was to walk home from the hospital. It was quite a distance, not sure, of how far it was from where I lived.…

Thank you for the welcome messages and comments about my dog, Logan. He is now in doggie heaven but has a huge piece of my heart with him. Not a day goes by that I don't dream of him. He was truly a blessing during the all too short 8 years he spent on earth. Something about unconditional love... And yes - He was a rock star.

I was offered a bonus, if I stay till "End of Pruduction". I can use the money, so I accepted the contract. A week before it was due…

I love my honey with all my heart! We met online and have been together for 6 months. Since we've met, his health has gotten significantly worse! I've been willing to do everything in my power to help him. I've changed my eating habits and helped him change his. I remind him of his meds and everything, but it's just not enough. He just doesn't seem to care enough about himself and I don't know how I can make him do that! It's so frustrating it really is! I watched my grandmother die from…

Dear Friends

I want to create a group which shall share information on Diabetes through memoirs. Please join and send your own memoirs. Find below an interesting story, titled "An Adventerous Lover-" and "He amputated his leg himself..."

It was during my stay at Republic Square at Paris, while I was attending 18th Congress of International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in 2003 that I happened to go through an anecdote published in a…
