ADM logoIf nothing else, diabetes has provided me with stories to tell.

 

Like the time before diagnosis when I peed my pants.  Or the time I told a classmate if they weren't careful, I'd put insulin in their milk and make them diabetic.  Or the time I socked a kid who called a diabetic friend of mine "sugar-freak."  Or the times I've made a donkey of myself during a low.

Last week I posted about my Insurance company giving me a scare about approving my insulin pump supplies.

Well, using a Minimed insulin pump in Southern California has its advantages since their products are shipped out of Northridge which is about 30 minutes from my house. Almost in my backyard! So my order which was sent via UPS 3-day select arrived at the Simmons house the very next day!

This made my stress level drop tremendously which we all know is good for the diabetes.

So that covers the first part of this post title. Now to the blogging.

I mentioned this insurance situation on my personal blog, where I often rant about my ups and downs with diabetes, and the coolest thing happened. (READ MORE)

ADM logoSince November is National Diabetes Awareness month I have been trying to think of ways to raise awareness about this disease so I, too can do my part.
 
Now one thing you should know about me is that, although I am a pretty outgoing guy, I am not one to just walk up to people and strike up a conversation about diabetes. The thought of doing that actually makes me a little light headed. I cannot imagine every doing that.

This past Saturday me and 14 others walked to raise money to fight diabetes. It was the American Diabetes Associations "Step Out to Fight Diabetes" walk. I posted about this a few weeks ago but at that time, only my wife and I had signed up.


To have so many people walk, friends and family alike, was just awesome. I felt so supported, so loved and cared about. (READ MORE)
