How Do You Explain Diabetes to a 4 Year Old?

Posted by Chris on Apr 29, 2010 in Diabetes Awareness | 7 comments
Last week when I was home, one of the most important things that I wanted to do was spend time with my 4 “nieces” and also my niece.  Let me explain that in detail quickly.  My “nieces” are actually my cousins, but my aunt was more like a sister to me because of our closeness in age so her 4 daughters have always called me uncle.  My actual niece is almost 6 months and she is my brother’s daughter.  Ok, that is clarified.  My “nieces” are 10, 8 and the twins are 4.  The 10 year old knows that I have diabetes, but doesn’t totally get it...

Guest Post Week and Press Contact Info

Posted by Chris on Apr 28, 2010 in Uncategorized | 1 comment
Let’s first start off with the press contact info portion of this post.  We all get those e-mails from different PR companies or diabetes companies that are looking to have us write a review or give us free products.  That is all fine and dandy with me and I don’t mind doing it, but just know a few things.  By you giving me free product, I am not going to automatically write a good review, so don’t send me an e-mail after I told you what is wrong with the product and tell me that you don’t appreciate it when you sent it to me for free.  Yeah, I actually received...

Aetna RX Home Delivery Major Failure!

Posted by Chris on Apr 27, 2010 in Bad Diabetes Companies, Insurance | 14 comments
My test strips woes of the last month or so have been well documented between my blog and Twitter.  The CVS fiasco being the worst part of it.  The chapter has ended, but it seems that the book is continuing.  Let me explain. I contacted Aetna RX Home Delivery because I have to use them because of the insurance that I have.  I contacted them on Tuesday April 13 and gave them my credit card number to ship my testing strips.  I explained that I would need them by Friday, so I will pay the additional $20 to ship them overnight to me.  I hear nothing on Wednesday, nothing on Thursday and...

Vacation Over Means Back to Blogging

Posted by Chris on Apr 26, 2010 in Diet and Weight Loss, Living Normally with Diabetes | 3 comments
What is this thing called a WordPress dashboard that I just logged into?  Luckily my password was saved in Firefox or I may have not remembered what the password was.  Hello everybody again.  It has been a while since my last blog post and that was a decision that I made several weeks ago.  I was beginning to spread myself too thin between a million different projects that I had going on, plus my personal life was very busy as well.  I just got back from a nice trip back north and have some good things to talk about. First, I had decided to go to the 140 Conference in New York, so since...

I’m Still Alive, Just Away

Posted by Chris on Apr 15, 2010 in Uncategorized | 1 comment
I haven’t been  blogging lately or have I been on Twitter.  I’ve been really busy around here with camping last weekend, traveling up north next week, losing my dog, and purchasing my first ever Mac. I just wanted to post quickly, this is my first post using my Mac and I absolutely love it.  I am now trying to get this thing ready to be my full time machine by switching over a lot of stuff.  The number one thing that I am missing is my Adobe CS4, which I might just have to get the full CS5 package! Well, until next time, have a great day. Bookmark It Hide S
