People with diabetes, and those touched by diabetes, follow their journey with the disease through a myriad of winding emotional paths. Depression is very common for those newly diagnosed, sadness can rear its head at different stages in the game, and a little humor and humility can even find the door to expose itself from time to time. The keys for controlling those doors are littered all over the place and on  Wrld Diabetes Day today, you can follow this map of internet hotspots. Expose diabetes for all that it is, good and bad, and then share it with others. Find an emotion and embrace it!

I hate to admit this, but I'll risk being unpopular and just say how I feel. I'm getting pretty sick of the Jonas brothers. It's like they are everywhere. In my Us Weekly, in Parenting magazine, on the Target commercials and now here on dLife.

 

I'm not sure exactly why I find them so annoying. It could be that we're from the same community. One of them went to my husband's alma mater, and my husband's cousins went to church where their dad was a pastor. I've been to the church too, and saw their dad preach and sing there (quite moving, I might add) long before they became famous.

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:

Today has been yet another day in which I've had to deal with the stomach issues I've written about previously.

 

I don't know what's causing the problems; maybe they are side effects of the mix of medications I take each day, or maybe there's something within me that's just not working properly. Whatever the source, I'm tired of the frequent nausea, diarrhea, and those lovely sulfur smelling burps.

 

It’s hard to get anything done around my house or at work when I’m constantly running to the restroom for one reason or another. It’s hard to stay hydrated and nourished when everything wants to come back out. And I’m exhausted because of the lack of sleep that the issues are causing.

A couple of weeks ago, Kim over at Texting My Pancreas got together with a few other movers-and-shakers in the diabetes online community to create a project to support and encourage other people with diabetes. Called "You Can Do This", the project includes videos, blog posts, and artwork from people with diabetes, for people with diabetes.

 

 

It's sort of a crowdsourced Test! Don't Guess campaign, with two main rallying cries: "You can do this!" and "You are not alone".

 

It's not all unicorns and glitter.

My eyes are heavy from crying. The crying that has been brewing for days. Driving home tonight I thought about how easy it would be to just start crying. No reason. Just need to cry.

 

A disagreement at home brought the tears to the front. The very front. At 6 p.m. on a Thursday night I found myself curled up in my dark bedroom sobbing. Still wearing my work clothes. I could have gone to sleep. I could have slept for days. I cried and sobbed. I tried not to sob too loud so I wouldn’t alert the kids, but I’m sure that No. 1 – who was sitting at the computer just outside my bedroom – heard me. It wasn’t because of the disagreement. This is what depression looks like for me.

Now that the cold weather is here in full swing, getting out and about is as much a struggle of the mind against the elements as it is of the body. Part of it is a matter of peripheral circulation issues; part of it is a matter of equipment and gear. Since the Dolce is a lot more serious a vehicle than the old Excelle was, I need more "technical" apparel to ride it comfortably. In addition to my new headlight and a replacement helmet, my December purchases included a winter cycling jacket, hat and balaclava, a couple of long-sleeved jerseys, a second pair of tights, and some better-fitting shorts.

ADM - American Diabetes Month Whether or not we recognize it explicitly, we are all caregivers (aka, T3s). Whether we serve a family member, someone in our neighborhood or church, or just others on the dLife forums and in the dLife community, we are each part of someone else's diabetes support team.

I'm in the process of updating my presentation on Connected Medical Devices for presentation at the Trenton Computer Festival on March 10th. (Slides and resources for the original presentation are available ACGNJ Presentations Page.) While examining the links, I found that the paper and slide deck for Jay Radcliffe's presentation on insulin pump security are no longer available online. I'm not completely surprised, and I remember some hullaballoo in that neither the presenter nor the pump manufacturer wished someone to make malicious use of that information. (If I recall correctly, the presenter had only "gone public" after the manufacturer dismissed his concerns.)
