Pushing $35,000

Here it is 10 days later and I’m still on walk high.  I haven’t got much posted about it other than quick pictures here and there, but I can’t help but get that warm, fuzzy feeling when I think about the progress JDRF Ozarks has made.
Our first Walk To Cure Diabetes was held on Saturday, [...]

I Couldn’t Have Asked For A Better Day!

Dexcom’ing It

Why wasn’t I issued one of these when I was first diagnosed with diabetes?!
This amazing piece of diabetes technology is the Dexcom Seven Plus continuous glucose monitor and it has pretty much changed my life in these last two weeks.  It is a glucose sensor that I wear attached to my body (currently on the [...]

iDiabetes

Not the most creative or orignal title I am sure, but big news comes out of Apple today with the release of their new iPhone OS 3.0 event.  And it’s quite exciting for the PWD (people with diabetes) and especially the geeky ones, like me.  Though I’m not an iPhone user, I’m a huge Apple [...]

Larry Soler is the JDRF International Executive Vice President, government relations [...]

A Sticky Situation

I’ve been struggling with the Omnipod insulin pump in keeping it stuck on me for the full 3 days.  I’ve tried everything from hunting and pecking at every Walgreens/Wal-Mart for Liquid Bandage to medical bandages and tape and yet the Omnipod still kept falling off within 36 hours.  I would pile bandages on top of [...]

Diabetes365 Project

It only seems fair to talk about the Diabetes365 Project since I am driving to St. Louis 3 times this week for JDRF related board meetings and events.  Diabetes has been the only thing on my brain this week.
You may have heard of it before, but the Diabetes365 project is documenting life everyday of living [...]

Facebook Connecting

I will admit, I am a little bit of a Facebook addict.  Certainly not for the silly games, ninja wars, sheep throwing and poking.  But for the idea of connecting with people.
I run multiple, and very different, areas of my life and they all seem to come together on both Facebook and Twitter.  Everything from [...]
