My Awesome Endo Office Appointment

Posted by Chris on Dec 21, 2011 in Endo Appointment | 2 comments
I had my endo appointment last Friday and I haven’t had much of a chance to post about it, so here we go. I knew going into the appointment that I wouldn’t be meeting with my actual endo that day because she was out of the office, but I would be meeting with a nurse that I’ve known from a past career and ventures that I have done.  A quick background and explanation of that.  I used to travel to a lot of local diabetes event when I worked for a horrible company.  One of the events that I regularly attended was a CEU class that was taught by a diabetes educator and an...

Dexcom One Month Later

Posted by Chris on Dec 14, 2011 in Dexcom | 2 comments
It’s been about a month since I received my Dexcom and I absolutely love it.  I have only worn it about 12-13 days in the month that I have had it because once a sensor comes out, I tend to get lazy and not put a new one in for a few days.  I need to stop this habit.  I need to try a new location because the two times I tried it on my stomach, it has fallen out within 5-7 days because of intense workouts that I have been doing.  The stickiness is just no competition for the sweat. I am going to try the sensor on the outside part of my thigh and see how that works. Hopefully that...

Thank You for Your Donation to Diabetes Research Institute

Posted by Chris on Dec 12, 2011 in Diabetes Research Institute | 0 comments
I mentioned back in late October and early in November that I would be donating the commissions in November from my Amazon affiliate link to the Diabetes Research Institute.  First, I want to say thank you for those that remembered to click the little Amazon button down below (right now it’s a Steve Jobs banner) to give me the commission.  The Amazon commission is not a lot, around 3-5% of purchase price.  But I am proud to say that I will be donating $50 in honor of the DOC to the Diabetes Research Institute. I know $50 does not sound like a lot of money in the big scheme of things,...

Dear Jay Cutler – Letter to Jay

Posted by Chris on Dec 6, 2011 in Diabetes Done Right, Sports and Diabetes | 1 comment
Some of you have seen lately that I have been tweeting about Jay Cutler and my dream and goal of interviewing him.  So here is an open letter to Mr. Jay Cutler himself. Dear Jay Cutler, Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.  It is not very often that somebody considers somebody else close to their own age a role model.  I can honestly say that I am one of those people.  I am truly inspired everyday by your actions of being an NFL quarterback with type 1 diabetes.  Why is this so inspirational to me?  Here’s a little background. I played QB my entire life.  Had...

FDA Releases Draft Guidance for Artificial Pancreas

Posted by Chris on Dec 2, 2011 in FDA, JDRF | 1 comment
Yesterday was a big step in the process of an artificial pancreas.  You may have your opinions of an artificial pancreas, and that it’s not a cure.  You’re right, it is not a cure, but if it makes your life as a diabetic better, than I am all for it.  This thing is long, so if you don’t like to read long documents, than just wait a few days for the experts to go through it.  The JDRF will be releasing some expert notes and reviews of this draft in the next few weeks. JDRF CEO and President Jeffrey Brewer is quoted as saying: “Our initial review of the draft AP guidance...
