Whew, I made it through!

Whew! I made it through my first week of my weight loss journey. I am taking little steps to get healthier. My first goal was to cut out regular soda. I havent had a dr. pepper(or any other kind of regular soda) since Nov. 3rd. I know it may not sound like much to some people but I was pretty much addicted to soda. I have had a few diet sodas this past week but its not like I replaced the regular stuff with diet. I used to drink alot of soda and I think I have had like 4 or 5 diet sodas in…

8 years & venting for the first time!

As i sit here i just realized it was 8 years ago yesterday that Nicholas was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. How does a healthy 3 year old with no family history end up with something that will possibly stay with him for the rest of his life? I say possibly because I hope that there is a cure around in his lifetime.

I absolutely hate when someone finds out about Nicks diabetes! Not because of the illness, because of how they feel they must say "Im so sorry". What the hell are you so…

I should probably introduce myself..

Hey there!



I'm Kelly. I'm 21 (22 in 17 days!) and I've been T1 for 5 years so far. I've spent most of my time as T1 oscillating between trying to ignore the fact that I had diabetes and obsessively worrying about it. I've never had an A1c under 7 (although I had quite a few hover around 7), but at one time I was so intent on keeping my blood sugars low that I had a number of pretty scary hypo events. I wrecked my car twice due to hypos and have scared my family and friends more than… Continue

Heartbreak!

As an adoptive mother of two girls from China, this story just breaks my heart. A family just received their new little one this past week. However, the father went into a diabetic coma and passed away yesterday! I cannot imagine what the wife/mother is going through. The nightmare continues in that now they have to battle government to bring their daughter home. Please keep this family in your prayers.

Pluggin Myself

And like everything else that I have an opinion about, I have an

opinion about her not ending up in the top 3 or possibly winning, she

Word In Your Hand

Well the new Word In Your Hand video just got posted up. It's seriously an honor for me to be given the opportunity to make the music for it. Pictures from this project and Diabetes 365 have helped me visually understand the reality behind diabetes. I hope the music doesn't detract from, but will emphasize, the feelings and emotions behind each word and individual.

What I know about using Symlin

I put up a blog post last night with all that I've figured out about using Symlin.

Overall this is a handy tool in Diabetes kit, but it's challenging to figure out how to use it effectively.

I hope you find it useful.

Brief Introduction.

I would first like to take the time to briefly introduce myself. I was first diagnosed with Adult onset Diabetes in 2000. My primary care physician told me that I probably developed diabetes because I was considered obese. His advice was for me to lose weight and take glucophage daily. My first question was if I lose the weight would I then be able to return to my normal life and previous lifestyle. He told me that my family history did not predispose me to the disease and that more than likely… Continue

My first few days on my pump

Hi all -

I started on my pump on Wednesday afternoon. I've been connected to this little guy ever since. He's lived in my pockets, on my waistband, and in my bra.

He's tried on clothes with me and seen me naked.

He's becoming less of a stranger and more of a mutual aquaintence. My friend Diabetes thought we might get along and fixed us up. I think he's well on his way to becoming a trusted friend and confidant.

Here are some of my first observations:

1. I've…
