I am beginning to get my life back in order after the last couple of months have jsut been so hectic with moving, getting a new job, vacation, buying a new car, blah blah blah.  One of the things that is on my list is working with my local JDRF chapter and begin working on some projects for Type 1 adults because a lot of the things that they put on are for kids and families of children with diabetes, but to reach a larger base I think reaching out to the adults is key.  Also, a quick heads up on another project that I am working on involves all your #bgnow and twitter and Facebook...

Diabetes is at a disadvantage and there is one large reason why.  Bad information!  How many times do you hear people talk about diabetes cures and just lose weight and you will lose your diabetes.  How about you stop breathing and you won’t lose your life?  There were some tweets the other day from some “askdroz” or something of that sort that really pissed me off, and I know it was pissing off a lot of you as well.  Do I think it was anybody that had something to do with Dr. Oz, no I don’t.  I think it was one of those people that just create a fake twitter...

I haven’t been to the endo in almost 5 months.  That is a really long time for me because for the last year I had been going once every 4-6 weeks.  I had an appointment scheduled in July, but I was on vacation, and didn’t have a chance to reschedule it.  The other day I received a phone call from my endo directly stating that I needed to come in and see her because she was going on maternity leave.  How many times do you get a phone call from the actual doctor themselves requesting that you come in?  If that is not a doctor caring about her patients then I don’t know...

It’s Monday and that means another recap of The Life of a Diabetic. I have not been posting very often, and it is mainly because of my new job and other things going on.  I have been extremely busy, but that is no excuse because I know all of you are busy also and that doesn’t stop you all from posting.  I have made a dedication to myself that I will continue to post on a daily basis.  Anyway, here is my exciting weekend. Friday after work, we had a company happy hour in north Miami, so I headed down there for a little bit.  It was really fun, because I was able to talk to...

It has been such a long time since my last endo or CDE visit. I was supposed to have one on July 25th, but I was on vacation and also, I never received a call from the doctor’s office so it makes me wonder if I even had an appointment anyway? My endo is one of the top in the area so it took me 6 months to initially get in and since she hasn’t seen me in a long time, I may be back on that waiting list again. There was even scarier news that happened yesterday. I received a letter from CobraServ who is a company that my COBRA continuing coverage was being processed through...
