We are not sick!

“There are lots of people who think they are sick and who are not sick.” – Dr. Charlie Mayo



People with diabetes are not sick. We are healthy people who happen to have a chronic condition. I get so frustrated when I see research studies advertising for “healthy subjects” and I am not considered “healthy.” I am discouraged when I get the impression that schools or employers or other agencies consider people with diabetes “sick.”



When I teach the family of a child with newly… Continue

Type 1 Emergency Planning

I'm on the East Coast and was one of many who felt the earth shaking yesterday, wasn't anything to serious for us, but can't get the thought outta my head "What if it was?" Are you prepared for any of Mother Natures wrath? Or any of human stupidity? Do you have a plan set in place with your child? Well if not, I came up with some ways to maybe help with the planning. Please visit my blog & tell me what you think, or even if you have anything to add.…

The Letters After My Name

Each year I look at the Friends for Life Canada program and I am amazed by the wealth of knowledge and experience found in its presenters. I see names that I have read about. I see people whose work I have followed. I see an entire alphabet behind their names and I think, "Wow! How lucky am I to be heading off to see them?"



When the time comes, I pack my suitcase and I begin to panic. What the heck am I doing?

I am going to catch up with old friends and meet new…

View from a Plateau

Last night, as I was laying in bed trying to get to sleep, I realized that while diabetes is a constant roller coaster ride, living with a child with diabetes has been a journey in and of itself.



When he was diagnosed over eleven years ago, we were dropped into a forest. I was grateful that there was light and my son was alive to see it. I had some fear of the unknown but it did not overwhelm me. I saw the trees but didn't notice the forest. I saw a trail that led me forward and with… Continue

I am "The Worrier"

Shooting at the walls of sanity

Bang, bang!

I am the worrier!"

I know, I have completely ruined a good song but the melody kept playing in my head after I wrote the first draft of this post so now you can have it play through your head as well!



I worry. I case you have missed that from other posts, its a fact. I can worry about anything and anyone. I am "the worrier"! It takes nothing to set me off. My mind is incredibly creative and I really wish I could harness its… Continue

Day 7 of Diabetic Blog Week

What I have learned Since Blogging

I have learned that a community of bloggers can influence the world around us, that together we make an impact on our community and on the world.



I am and have been amazed at how welcoming a bunch of diabetics from around the world can be and where you can find wonderful people like Karen Graffeo, who has so graciously put together the… Continue

Friday Day 5 of Diabetic Blog Week!

Awesome Things



I have learned a lot of awesome things from diabetes:



1. Tolerance for others’ lay attitudes

2. Patience to wait to get my wants filled

3. The ability to overcome any obstacles that come my way

4. Loving myself for who I am and not what others want me to be

5. To get back on my feet when life kicks me to the ground

6. Resiliency…

Diabetes Turns 11 OR Why Won't it Leave me Alone?

Eleven years ago today, Diabetes announced that it had permanently moved into our lives. Its silent presence before that was masked and hidden. It appeared as the flu. The ER doctor called it an ear infection. I wondered if it was two year molars giving him a hard time. We were all wrong...dead wrong.



I have relived that day a million times over. I can see every second as if it was yesterday. I can still feel that lifeless little form that was my son laboring to breathe while resting… Continue

2 kids with diabetes

I don't really have a lot of time today to blog about all that has been going on, so I'll make this a quick one. One week ago, we found out that my oldest son has T1. This is kiddo #2 to be diagnosed. One is almost 3, the other is 11.

This is HARD. Period. Two separate eating schedules, 2 different ICRs, sleep schedules, etc...I don't know if I'll ever sleep again. Anyhow, I'll blog more later when I have a lot of free time (If I ever will again) because I have A LOT to say about all of… Continue

Dia-Beat-Us?



Many of my American friends will call me Wilfred Brimley because I am one of those weirdos who say "dia-bee-tus" and not "dia-beet-ez".  Of course, to me, my way makes much more sense but I am aware that when you break the pronunciation down it sound defeatist.   I have actually been pretty positive lately.  My son is slowly starting to take better care of himself.  As Reyna recently pointed out, he has been successfully honing his… Continue

Can you use diabetes to make your life better?

We hear a lot about "turning lemons into lemonade" and "pain into purpose" and it's easy to go, get outa here!!! Or, "You don't get it, why don't you get diabetes and see if you feel like turning lemons into lemonade!!! But, interviewing more than 150 people I have discovered that's exactly what many people have found a way to do. They have used, and continue to use, diabetes to take better care of their health, appreciate more what's precious and meaningful to them and go out and help others.… Continue

Voyages into the room of a teen with diabetes

Today I did the unthinkable...I ventured into my teenage son's room and attempted to tidy it up a bit. In fairness to him, it wasn't too bad. I made him shovel all of the used test strips, pump tubing, empty insulin bottles, and old school papers off of the floor yesterday.



My first stop was the bed. Time to change those sheets! As I pulled back the comforter I found stray socks--used, smelly and rolled in a ball at the bottom of the bed, test strips, and his cell phone. I couldn't… Continue
