Denise What is support?

As with everything, it is different for everyone. But for me it is NOT being told how wrong, stupid, lazy, non-compiant...etc etc. I am (or someone telling someone else that) So why do I feel I need to say anything? maybe because I am not feeling well and cranky/.overly-sensitive..but anyway... In tripping my way through all my favorite sites this morning, I noticed a slew of scathing (nicest thing I can say) replies to people who have gone to one site or another for support...but did not get… Continue

Ann Bartlett What Do You Think About Alert Dogs Used For Diabetes?

I was inspired to write this blog because I miss my golden Molly, who is in my profile pix, and because I saw the pretty Golden on a google news alert and I was moved. Canines are amazing little beasties! Super Sniffers! Dogs have always been a big part of my life! My entire life I have been exposed to the love and protection that they offer to a companion they trust. Growing up, I… Continue

Ann Bartlett Cast Your Vote for A Social Media Makeover

I found this while twittering the other day and thought about all the orgs that I look at who need help with the media presence. I have plenty of philanthropic places to choose from, but decided to look within my own disease at who makes a difference and could use a facelift. Sports has been such a big part of my life, and with age just being active is a lifeline to health. So I nominated DESA, Diabetes Sports and Exercise Foundation for the chance to win $25K for a social media makeover to hel… Continue

Manny Hernandez Learning From Each Other, Finding Common Ground

Transcription of the audio from the video In recent times, emotions in our community have been stirred up. Very strong expressions from "across the aisle" that appears to divide type 1 and type 2 diabetes have come up. It is a fact: type 1 and type 2 are different conditions and there are even more types of diabetes. All have their things that make them unique and more challenging for some people and perhaps not as challenging for others. There are those with splendid… Continue

Ann Bartlett Are We Seeing the Artificial Pancreas prototype? And what is SmartInsulin anyway?

News out of the UK spurred this blog for me on healthcentral.com On Tuesday, June 2nd, British press had a story that caught my eye. It was an announcement for the product called the Medtronic Veo. The Veo is an insulin pump with a continuous blood glucose sensor, but the catch is this: when a low is detected, it shuts down the flow of insulin. Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's pet project, the artificial pancre… Continue

Ann Bartlett Type 1 Teen with a Positive Attitude Leads to Living Without Boundaries

When I was a HS kid, I was into sports! I rode horses, three day eventing and fox hunting. Lacrosse and hockey, running in my free time and during the winter, cross country skiing. I never felt restricted by my diabetes, probably more restricted by the lack of time to do more of the things I loved! In recent years, I have been in charge of outreach for JDRF Capitol Chapter and some of the issues I see with teens has been disheartening. I have a hard time relating to purposely missing insulin, i… Continue

Ann Bartlett Diabetes and Libido

A recent Reuter's article ticked me off, so I posted a blog on Health Central about it! I think blaming diabetes for low libido in this study was incorrect! A recent study out of Belgium reported that women with type 1 diabetes have experienced some sexual difficulty. The article, published by Reuters, said that the findings also suggest depression as a key factor linked to problems with sexuality for women. Out of 652 women with type 1 diabetes, 35 percent were classified as having sexual dys… Continue

Elizabeth I thought honeymoons were supposed to be fun?

I've apparently been misinformed about the nature of the word "honeymoon"—mine was a trip to Maui, but Eric's is no day in the tropics. We've been seeing unusual lows in the past 3 days (they started, ironically, the day after Dr. Olshan said in disappointed tones, "Gee, I'd have thought he would have started honeymooning. Maybe he's not going to."). But yesterday was downright scary. He's taken to vomiting when he's really, really low, and of course that's just when we're trying to feed him to… Continue

Marie B New Endo visit

We live in one of the most rural parts of New Jersey. Currently, there is no endo in the county. Yesterday, I drove an hour to get to an endo whom it took me a month to get an appointment. Of course I have to keep a food diary for a week, and test at midnight and 3AM, which is incredibly disrupting, but there it is. She changed my basals from 5 different rates during the 24 hour day to two: 6AM - 7PM, .7 u/hr and 7PM-6AM, .5 u/hr. We'll see how that goes! and boluses are 1 unit/20 gm and 1 unit… Continue

Marie B Bad batch of infusion sets

Ok, here goes my first blog....So I've had t1 41 years, and been on the pump since approx 1989, you'd think I could figure things out better by now. I have an accu-check spirit, and i've always used mini-med sof-sets. I normally change every 3 days, but the past month, i'm lucky if i can go 2days without changing my set. i thought it might be something changing in my skin or something, because God knows a lot of crazy things have been going on in my bod the past couple of years (i'm 53), and my… Continue

Lynn (mom of teen with type 1) A little background...

Hi all, I'm the mother of a beautiful, active, social, smart, creative,... cranky, obstinate, rude, irresponsible, 15 (almost 16) year old. I'm stressed, worried, scared and feel helpless. Anna was diagnosed with type 1 in 1999 at the age of six. She has typically done very well with her diabetes management, having been part of it right from the start ("let ME do it" -- finger pricks; "shots don't hurt"). She's a pumper since 4th grade, though we took a "pump vacation" 2 summers ago (hav… Continue
