I was HORRIFIED earlier this month when I read Halle Berry announced she was cured of type 1 diabetes because she had "weened [sic] herself off insulin." As most readers of dLife would know, that just ain't possible (yet).
But I found this interview from December 2005 that may clear things up. She may not remember her medical history, but in this story she clearly identifies it as type 2 diabetes. And even says she was a little overweight as a teen, as though that explains it. (READ MORE)

CP: I'm here with lumberjack, one-time monopoly champion, brother-in-law extraordinaire and a downright handsome speciman of a man, Patrick Mauceri. Thanks for joining us today.
 

PM: Hey C-dog.  No problem. Thanks for having me.  Monopoly champ?

CP: Ignore me.
 

CP: Interesting place you chose to meet me at today. So I just put my coins in here and the little peephole opens up? Do people with diabetes frequent this sort of place often?

PM: Well it's our little speakeasy. Only instead of bootlegged whiskey, they serve expensive juice boxes and orange slices. Can I buy you a drink?

In the summer of 1996 Susanne and I saw Semisonic perform live in a small, dank bar on the Jersey shore in support of their latest release, Great Divide. Two years later, the Minneapolis rock band's massive hit song "Closing Time" would explode across radio stations around the world.

When to tell?

 

I have accepted a new job. It's in a new city (half way across the country!!). It's with new people. New people who don't know that I have diabetes.

 

It was during my four-year tenure at my current job that I was diagnosed. I had no problem telling just about everyone in my very small office about diabetes. I already knew them and their personalities.

 

It's different now. I have a problem with going in to the boss on my first day and saying, "Hey, guess what..." I also have a problem with waiting three months until my benefits kick in, or even longer when someone sees me checking my sugar (or doesn't know what to do if I pass out) to say, "Oh, yeah, maybe I should have told you sooner."

Things seem to be coming together lately so I don't have much to complain about. Dad is off and running on his type 2 meds, I have successfully finished my first round of interviews for the job I'm applying for, and all is well for the most part on the diabetes front.

My dad started his Metformin and things are coming together pretty nicely. He is taking his daily dosage and eating better and exercising regularly. He has even enjoyed having a couple extra pounds fall off due to his new lifestyle.

Friday I had my first (phone) interview with the company I applied with. I thought it went very well and I enjoyed speaking with them. I am told the second round of the interview process will take place sometime this week. If all goes well the last step will be to make a visit to New York City for an interview in person. I believe that will take place sometime in March so I am anxious and looking forward to getting things rolling.

As a reporter I've interviewed a lot of people in a variety of situations. Part of that job is not being intimidated. You have to go into an interview knowing how to control the situation.

 

But calling the offices of potential endocrinologists and asking for an interview appointment was a completely different scenario. Especially since most places I called said "Oh, the doctor doesn't do that." So half of my questions went out the window because I wound up talking to a medical assistant.

 

Some example answers I got:

 

*If I call with a question, who will get back to me and when? Most likely a medical assistant usually within 48 hours, but sometimes up to 72 hours.

My son came to me the other night and asked if he could ask me some questions about diabetes. One thing I never do is turn away an opportunity to talk to my kids about diabetes. I want them to understand, as much as they can, about what diabetes is.
Maybe this is not true for other people with diabetes but a part of me is waiting for this disease to go after my kids. I am guessing that it's normal to not want your kids to deal with what you have to but sometimes I worry that I worry too much!
When I asked what brought on this interview he explained to me that it was for a paper he is working on for school. And with that the interview began.
He asked me to tell him all about diabetes to which I responded with something like, "We do not have enough time for that dude. Tell me what you know and I will fill in and add from there." (READ MORE)

My cousin H asked me the other day if I had found a new doctor yet. No, I told her I hadn't made any calls yet. I feel sort of weird about doctor hopping, but that's the way it has to be. 

 

I've never been in this situation before, so it's no wonder that I didn't think of making an "interview appointment" sooner. We interviewed pediatricians when I was pregnant with No. 1, so it makes sense that you should be able to do it with physicians in other areas. I did at one point consider calling offices and asking to talk to the office manager or main nurse, but I really wasn't sure I'd get the answers I was looking for. Actually, I'm not sure the doctor will be able to answer all these questions, but someone in the office should be able to.

Many of you have read about my opportunity coming up to speak at a JDRF family retreat in St. Louis. I am stoked to be going and to be a part of the whole AMAZING experience. It's like the diabetic version of the prom for kids and adults. I'm getting really excited and I recently learned of some new information regarding the event. Not only will I be speaking to the parents of these children, in a breakout session for exercise and diabetes, but now I will also be speaking to a large group (approximately 100) of kids with diabetes ages 8-12!

Look out kiddos, here I COME!! (I'm thinking about having them do a short unexpected workout with me??)
