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)

I guess technically, I joined the diabetes online community back in October, 2005 when I joined dLife, and I became active in the overall DOC some time in 2008 -- but it wasn't until this year that I, and others, had the opportunity to "eyeball" the folk we'd been e-mailing, blogging to, commenting blog posts from, tweeting, and otherwise conversing with on various diabetes-related forums and social networks. 2009 is also the year dLife launched the dLife Community, and the year I started blogging here at Blogabetes.

 

 

Some of my year's highlights include:

Hello!  My name is Megan and I am excited to be joining the team of Blogabetes writers here at dLife!  I was diagnosed as a late onset Type 1 in January 2009 at 33 years old.  Needless to say, my entire world was turned upside down and ready or not, my new diabetic life began.

After having faced gestational diabetes with both of my pregnancies in 2006 and 2007, I was made aware that there was a good chance I would struggle with being a Type 2 diabetic in the future if I wasn’t careful.  Never did I think after a flood of symptoms and testing, I would be diagnosed as a Type 1 only two short years later.

The summation of my life lately is in one word. Avoidance. I am avoiding everything that I possibly can at the moment. If it's possible to procrastinate on it, put it on the emotional back burner, or just dodge anything at all, I'm doing it.

 

I just really don't feel like facing everything that is going on in my life right now. Out of fear that it'll overwhelm me. Out of fear that it's worse than I think. Out of the belief that I really just don't need to face anything.

 

In reality, there is a lot that I should take the time to face. In reality, I need to get my behind in gear and start taking charge of my life. It's time to stop dodging what's around me and start facing the facts.
