It's been a bit busy this week, leaving me somewhat late on reporting back on Saturday's d-group meeting to see Breakthrough: The Dramatic Story of the Discovery of Insulin, a special exhibit showing at the New York Historical Society. Since I had to work Sunday, this ended up as the total of my World Diabetes Day celebrations this year.

It seems that everyone has some sort of allergy or food intolerance nowadays. Many of us with diabetes try to avoid sugars (or carbohydrates in general). Those of us with hypertension must restrict sodium intake; those with high cholesterol, saturated fats. The incidence of anaphylactic peanut allergy seems to be increasing so rapidly that restaurants are putting peanut warnings on the doors to their premises. And then there's the most prevalent food allergy of all, wheat.

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:

As an 
informed person with diabetes and an active member of several online diabetes communities, it's important for me to "get out into the real world" and make connections with other people with diabetes and with people and associations whose purpose is to support us medically, psychologically, and socially. In addition to real-life meet-ups with members of my various diabetes online networks, I go to health fairs and community events to make contact, inquire about the state of diabetes-care support and diabetes advocacy programs, and have even given a presentation about how diabetes online communities positively effect the lives and health levels of people living with all types of diabetes.

At 8am, I woke up to the alarm on my phone. I checked my blood sugar and was dumbfounded by the number on the screen. I was almost 100 points higher than I'd gone to bed at the night before. Pizza. Why are things never the same around here?
Around 9am, I left for work with an early start. Maybe I could leave early since I'd gotten some extra time the afternoon before as well. It was a thought at least. This week was my week to cut my hours back to my original 20. I'm attempting to stabilize my schedule before school throws another curve ball into the mix.
At 11am, I ate some crackers since my stomach was feeling a bit off. I didn't check my blood sugar and I didn't do insulin. I still haven't gotten totally comfortable with injections in my workplace. Especially since more people have been added in my office so I'm no longer alone.
