Life is fascinating to me. I truly am blown away by it. I am amazed with this world, the people in it and everything about it. Tonight I was watching a show that was very real. The show was called "Intervention". I don't normally get too caught up in television. I don't find much on TV that I can learn from or that I find really enjoyable. I like seeing things that are as real as possible. I like learning from and being around different types of people and gaining knowledge from real experiences. That is why I enjoy this website that you're on right now- they are real stories from real people. When you have diabetes, I think you see life through a different lens. You learn to appreciate the "realness" in what and who is around you. (READ MORE)

For a number of years, I was the only diabetic I knew. Diagnosed when I was a little kid, there wasn't an army of advocates knocking down the doors of my school. As far as I knew, the only meter in my elementary school was mine. In my high school, there were two meters: mine and the one belonging to a classmate's older sister. No one else I knew was taking a fingerstick before having the orange slices at soccer practice, or before tap dance lessons.
My first taste of a diabetes community came one summer at camp. Growing up in New England, I had access to one of the best diabetes camps in the country - Clara Barton Camp. I spent six summers at CBC, giggling with my fellow campers, singing my lungs out at the nightly campfire meetings, and making friends. (READ MORE)

Blogging is difficult for me sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I love this website and everyone associated with the Blogabetes community. Each and every one of you continue to be an enormous help. I can come on here and rant and rave to the ENTIRE WORLD about my life with diabetes. I make friends, I laugh, I tear up, and it's all wonderful. It's fantastic and I have no doubt this will continue to be an extremely helpful thing for me and everyone else too. At times though, the only thing I crave is complete and utter privacy, freedom from the world of diabetes and from everything. The last thing on my mind is the desire to share one more personal diabetic experience with the world. (READ MORE)

We're in the middle of Walk Season, and blogger Carey Potash writes about his son Charlie leading his personal team of angels. (READ MORE)

What I really need is a good online diabetes-related battle. Nothing lights up the 'ole blog switchboard like a feud. I came across a rather heated one in the blogosphere recently. So lucky. All I ever get is nothing but stinkin' compassion and support. Anyone got a beef with me? Anyone? Come on, don't make me beg.

 

Type 2s? Come on, type 2s. When was the last time I addressed your concerns? How about like never. All I do is talk about my type 1 son. Booooring!

 

Type 1s? Come on, hit me!

 

I thought I had a real shot with the Sotomayor piece, but unfortunately most of those who commented, directed their anger not at me but instead at the fictional characters I created. Sigh.
