Last week I was attending a 3 day Leadership Training course at a facility outside of Las Vegas. All 30 of the attendees were strangers to one another and all from different industries from all over the country! I was very nervous about how I was going to do after finding out so many of these people were owners, vice presidents, and upper management for their companies. I was not sure how I would hold up around all these professionals!
We got our room assignments and I knew we would be staying in small dorm rooms. They were more like hotel rooms with 2 bunk beds in them. I was lucky enough to get a bottom bunk so my night time visits to the rest room would not wake up my bunk partner as much as jumping down and climbing back up would have. (READ MORE)

My girlfriend's calling me a diabetic angel, and not to brag, but I kind of feel like one. I experienced some kind of intervention yesterday, or at least something bigger than me, that connected me with a stranger.

I recently "celebrated" my fourteenth anniversary with type 1 diabetes. I wasn't really sure how to celebrate it though. I actually didn't even tell anybody about it. It's not like I was trying to hide it from anyone or the opposite, make a big deal about it, I just didn't give it much thought. Now that I look back at it though, this anniversary actually marks my, "half of life" with diabetes day. I have had diabetes for 14 years now and it is hard to imagine. I look back and reflect on those years, and it blows me away that is has been that long. Time really does seem to fly by. What I find funny is that I really only consider my diabetic years as the ones that really count. In a way, my life got started the day I got the diagnosis.

Championship teams begin with good scouting. You always have to look to the future of the organization.
It's no coincidence that Charlie's Angels has won the Mid-Jersey JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes three years consecutively, breaking all sorts of records along the way. Sure, we get some odd looks from people as we dart past them in full sprint in our matching black running shorts to the finish line, high-fiving each other and calculating our heart rates. We're so fast, it almost seems like everyone else is walking. Must be jealousy. We train year-round for this. They should be jealous.
But to remain an elite team year after year, you've got to bring in new blood and drop some dead weight. We've got a nice-looking team heading into the big race on Sunday. We've made a few changes - some very difficult - but all for the good of the team. (READ MORE)

Many of us have wondered "Why me?" when confronting this disease. It’s easy to get caught up in pity when you’re diagnosed with a chronic illness. We want a reason for our diabetes. Not a medical cause, but a legitimate human reason. What did we do to bring this on ourselves? Is it some sort of punishment? Is it a test? Is it God’s/god’s/the universe’s doing?

 

The "Why me?" question seems to be a necessary phase in order to fully cope with diabetes. Granted, we may never find a true answer to why this happens to us, but processing the information and coming to terms with it helps us deal.

My dad. Two childhood friends. My best friend’s sister. My ex-boyfriend’s father. Even my aunt’s cat. It seems that everywhere I turn diabetes is following me. As I progress through life, one by one people along the way are being diagnosed with diabetes.

 

I understand that having any type of disease or syndrome causes you to become more aware when people mention that specific disease or syndrome. But sometimes, it seems that diabetes isn’t just on my mind. It’s literally following me, taking down people in its path (or in my path).
