Yes candy smuggling...it's quite a story (one many of us are probably familiar with), and one that I'm not going to post here, but I figured I'd post the link to my diabetes blog where I do regularly write:

The Candy Smuggler

Since I'm participating in NaNoWriMo and NaBloPoMo and both are going to be about diabetes, I'll go ahead and make updates here daily during the month of November...

Hi All,

I am now a pumper! I got and was trained how to use my Medtronic 722 on Tuesday, I also have a CGM working too. So far its been great a few little mess ups and all my fault (over calibration of the CGM - not funny) and not sleeping due to thinking the alarm is going to go off and dozing off and then it does!; but all in all its attached and working. Still getting used to it and today is atill only day 2.5 :o) . The trainer said that most pumpers name their pump's to give it…

Hi Everyone.

My son was diagnosed on thanksgiving 2006, he was 2 years old. Now that he is 3 it has been hard to deal with at times, but it has gotten easier.After a year of being a diabetic i hope we have gotten over the worst part of the disease. The unknowns & the yo- yo bloodsugar levels. His sugar is in range where the doctor wants him to be, and he is checking his own bloodsugar, which is great.I'm very proud of him.He is my little man.

Hi! today is my husband's 32nd birthday... :-) and this is my 2nd day of taking Metformin, but I am worried because my morning BG is high... yesterday it's 132, today 139... but I went to bed last night with 129 BG, what do you think happened?

I have been vocal of saying that I become a worry wart every since I got diabetes, friends been telling me, just accept it and take your medicines religiously... well, I am, and I have accepted this disease wholeheartedly... I am just afraid of…

What do you do when you adore your physician, but despise his office personnel and the way it is run??

I have been trying to see my doc for about two weeks. I'm not crazy about taking time off from work (it has to be personal leave, not sick, and I just don't have enough right now for all my needs, so I've been putting off many appointments/tests). Last week I tried to get an appointment. The NP I have…

Hi. I'm 41 years old and was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 1987 right before my 21st birthday. I've used an insulin pump for over 8 years, recently started Symlin therapy and am trying to get tighter control over my sugars.

I live in Flagstaff, Arizona and work in the Human Resources department at Northern Arizona University (Go Lumberjacks!). My biggest challenge is losing weight - so hard to do when you're diabetic. I'm really looking forward to getting a continuous glucose…

Well for two years I did very good with diet and exercise. The past few months I fell off the band wagon...really bad. Have a serious famly problem, on my mind 24/7 and did not even think or care what I ate. Get my A1C taken on December 7 and am now scared that will have to go on meds. Think I can get it down before then if I start now??

Again, way too much time between posts here on Tu Diabetes. Sorry for the long lapse in time! But I'm back, and hopefully will be posting around here more often.

First and foremost, the Red Sox have won the World Series - again. This may not be a big deal for people who are drawn to teams that win events on a regular basis, but to Red Sox Nation, this is a new and very long-overdue trend.

Secondly, I'm on…
