A friend of mine died last night, following a battle with lymphoma. The disease came back last summer after he had been in remission about a year. It was discovered about a week after my daughter was born. The prognosis was not good with a recurrence within a year at mid-life. He was only 45 and left two teenage children.
We had fallen out of touch in recent years, but I knew through his sister that he had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. (READ MORE)

I used to wonder why I frequently saw people buying enormous amounts of hamburger at the grocery store. There were so many theories I had, but really just couldn't for the life of me figure out what the big deal was with ground beef. There were so many better-tasting dishes to be made with chicken and pork, I thought.
And then I found myself unemployed for a year--and needing to take care of my family. Debt piled up and I had to find new ways to cut corners and spending. Becoming a comparison shopper made me finally see what the big deal was at the grocery store. You can get four skinless, boneless chicken breasts and feed your family of four one meal, or you can get 4 lb. of ground beef and feed your family of four almost all week. And for the same price. Oh, and you'll likely shell out more dough for leaner meat. Ah, it had become so clear. It wasn't about taste, it was clearly money. (READ MORE)

I must be more than just playing around with the idea of a pump because I actually emailed my endo about it today.
I don't know why I feel funny about this, why I feel like me having a pump is overkill. Maybe because I'm "only" type 2, maybe because I'm not even three years into my diagnosis.
I shouldn't feel funny about it. I am reading more and more that insulin therapy for people with type 2 diabetes is being introduced earlier. Yes, I'm already on insulin and have been so since roughly three months after I was diagnosed. So what's the difference if I'm taking my insulin from shots or from a pump? (READ MORE)

As a member of the media, you might think that I would get riled up about news stories all the time. Strangely, though, I don't find that to be true. So I guess it's no surprise that when I do get moved by a story, I get really moved.
There's not often much information in the e-newsletter from Diabetes Health magazine that pertains to me, but I look forward to reading it nonetheless. I usually scan the headlines and teasers, and maybe read a story or two. I sometimes forward it on to my mom and two aunts who help their 90-year-old type 2 mom with her diabetes management.
Today's newsletter, though, had a story that I read several times. The headline, Psychologically Dependent Type 2s Use Too Many Test Strips?, intrigued me; the story, on the other hand, made the fire rage. (READ MORE)

I got a link to an article from ABC News today about Halle Berry. I was encouraged to see that doctors are equally concerned with her claims that she's cured herself of type 1 diabetes.

"Diabetics quickly took to the blogosphere to condemn Berry for claiming that a change in diet could cure Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease in which the pancreas permanently fails to produce insulin, the vital hormone that regulates sugar levels in the blood."

Type 1 isn't known as an adult disease. Until a few years ago, I didn't know anyone who called my diabetes Type 1 Diabetes. It was Juvenile Diabetes, Childhood Onset Diabetes... You get the gist. And when I was a child, I never thought about diabetes as something adults had in spite of the fact that I knew several Type 1 diabetic adults during my youth.
Anyhow, today, I was thinking, there should be some rules for being an adult with Type 1. Perhaps you'll think of some to add to the list I've come up with.
H is for How to be an adult with Type 1.
1. Test even though you're busy. Log even though you're busy. Bolus even though you're busy. Are you sensing a theme? As an adult, rule #1 is pay attention - even though you've got a lot of other things going on. It's a challenge, but diabetes needs to be a priority. (READ MORE)

I had to laugh at the lead paragraph on this story.

"In the first study to use continuous monitoring throughout pregnancy , researchers found that levels of glycemic control differ significantly between women with type 1 diabetes and those with type 2."

I would think that blood sugar levels between type 1 and type 2 patients always differ significantly. The nature of the different diseases make it sort of obvious. I don't know why pregnancy should be any different.
Let me throw in a disclaimer here - I am not a medical professional, I'm not even in a field related to medicine. This is my own interpretation of the article. Discuss anything you find interesting with your own doctors. You can read the abstract here as well. (READ MORE)
