So, it's been about five months since I last posted here on Blogabetes, and I'd like to start off by saying that I'm sorry for going MIA for so long.  At the beginning of the year, I wrote of my grand new year's resolution to send more time writing for this blog and, clearly, that just hasn't happened.

Now, I've never been the best at sticking to new year's resolutions, so the fact that this one has been a spectacular flop isn't really a shock to me.  Admittedly thought, it does annoy the fire out of me.  

Life has a tendency of getting in the way of our best laid plans and intentions sometimes and, unfortunately, that's what's happened in my case over the last several months.

I've just been so overwhelmed with attending to issues with my health, working more than 50 hours a week at my job, and trying to keep my blogging and other diabetes advocacy efforts going.  Not to mention the insanity my family has been through in dealing with my mother-in-law's cancer diagnosis and all of the trips to indianapolis for treatments and tests.It's just been too much to handle at once, and things have just gotten away from me.  

Now, don't get me wrong, the last five months haven't been filled with all bad stuff.  There have been some pretty awesome things that have happened in my life.  And I will be sharing those here soon.

I just wanted to take the time to say I'm sorry for  disappearing, and that I'm most definitely still among the living.

All the best!Mike.
