Congratulations to Halle Berry on the birth of her healthy baby girl on Sunday! The height and weight were not divulged, so let's all hope the baby doesn't suffer from macrosomia, a common complication for women with diabetes. Regardless of Halle's ignorance about her diabetes, the healthy arrival of a baby is ALWAYS news to celebrate!
A conference this week in Washington is focusing on the subtypes of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. At least 16 different genes can impact type 2 cases, and 14 genes can be involved in type 1. One of the goals of the conference is to increase awareness of the many possible forms of the disease beyond type 1 and type 2. (READ MORE)

In February and March we sought the guidance of diabetes author and coach Gary Scheiner to see if we too could "Think Like a Pancreas." Our few meetings energized us briefly, but soon enough, we were back to feeling lost and utterly confused. After about five months, the pump wasn't working out as we hoped it would.
In April we decided to throw out all carb ratios and basal levels and begin with a clean slate, following more pump frustrations and a disappointing A1c of 9.6. We felt we hit rock bottom. We worked daily with the pump educator, tweaking and tweaking and tweaking and scratching our heads until we could tweak and scratch no more. (READ MORE)

A presidential promise. A statement to advance us into a more lucrative future of healthcare. A hope that technology in healthcare can further help fulfill patient’s needs.

"We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its cost….. All this we can do. And all this we will do."

This quote came from President Barack Obama's Inaugural Address on January 20, 2009. It is a bold statement on his desire to make improvements in todays healthcare system and expand on the successes of technology for everyone.

Ring around a rosy, a pocket full of posies...

 

By the time we reach adulthood, most of us know that the seemingly-nonsensical nursery rhymes of youth were sharp political snipes and sarcastic observations at the time of their composition. We know, for example, that the "ring" or "rosy" was the distinct buboe of bubonic plague, that it was believed that carrying around fresh flowers would help ward off the Plague, that the belongings of a Plague victim would be burned to try to limit the spread of the disease, and that all too many people had succumbed -- and would succumb -- to its horrors.

When I look back at the first pediatrician we had for No. 1 there's really one thing that stands out: Had she been a parent when she was treating us I think the care would have been different. Not better, mind you, just different.

 

Of course, I didn't realize this until after we had more kids and moved and had to find another pediatrician. Someone who had her own kids. The connection between me and her was different, as was the one between the kids and her. Yes, in a way, that connection was better, not just different.

 

Now, don't get your panties in a bunch because I'm not saying being a parent is a prerequisite for being a good pediatrician. What I'm saying is that I'm wondering if having an endo who has diabetes -- particularly type 1 -- will make a difference for me or not. See where I went with that?

I got an email today about a new program that Columbia University (in New York City) is offering. A completely online master's degree in Diabetes Education and Management. This type of degree can aide current CDE's, prospective CDE's who are looking for certification, or anyone in the diabetes arena that wants a better understanding of how to educate diabetics and further proper management.

 

At first, my interest was piqued. Would I want to do that? I once looked into nursing programs in order to pursue certification as a Certified Diabetes Educator, but decided that nursing school wasn't for me. An online Master of Science though? Maybe.

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.

The start of every semester is difficult. Getting back into the groove of school can be daunting. Some are worse than others though. And this semester is on that list of worst semesters.

 

I'm behind in every class. I've missed weeks of some of my classes. The lab that I'm supposed to be taking...I've never been to. Assignments are beginning to pile up. Tests are starting next week. There's just too much to handle.

 

I know that I could have pushed myself harder. I know that this is a big chunk of my own fault. Yes, the fatigue has been incredibly rotten. My blood sugars have been bouncing up and down. I've had migraines for days on end. And just the general malaise and lack of motivation are enough to make me crawl into bed forever.
