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 [...]

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 [...]

Omni-Fantastic

Have you ever pitched a fit about getting something that you want sooooo bad, and then when you actually get the item, all of the sudden it’s really not that big of a deal anymore?  I’m kind of in that position right now.  A little bit different, but somewhat the same. Last August I had [...]

Wearing Tennis Shoes All Week

My tennis shoes have been an inspiration to me this week.  I rarely wear tennis shoes to work, but this week I have worn them everyday.  As much as I would like to have some meaningful reason for why I wore my tennis shoes all week, I unfortuntely do not.  You see, the weather (there [...]

Blog Blending

It comes to the point where you can only manage so many blogs.  And I feel like it has come to that point. I have loved blogging for my work blog “I Love Rentals!” where I talked about all of the trials, tribulations, rants and raves about the rental property management and real estate world.  [...]

Diabetic Pity Party

It was a rough day. My every-3-months appointment with my wonderful endocrinologist didn’t go my way.  My A1c was a pitiful 9.2%.  It should be under 7%, so I have missed the mark this big time.  But I am frustrated.  I am frustrated with my pump, so I am not on it.  It is miserable [...]

Different Language, Same Feeling

Did you wake up and and check your blood sugar today?  I did. As well as 246 million people worldwide. How in the world can you not feel the desperate need for a cure for this disease that affects so many of us?  This epidemic has 246 million people dealing with the daily injections, blood [...]

Ask Google For A Doodle

I know you’ve seen the Google doodles.  Those cute little nods to the season, a specific holiday, or something significant have all brought life to the generic search engine. With World Diabetes Day quickly approaching on November 14th, here is your chance to ask Google for our own doodle. Help us reach our goal of [...]

My Family Is Everything To Me

My family is everything to me. They support me when I am at my best and when I am not. They drive over 6 hours to do a 1 mile walk to help me find a cure for type 1 diabetes. They drive all night and get up early in the morning to meet me [...]

Spoke Too Soon

I guess I spoke too soon in my post on my health insurance coverage on the Omnipod Insulin Pump that I wrote last night.  And I guess United Healthcare (UHC) are ‘Pod Haters afterall. I was all excited about getting approved as “in-network coverage” on the Omnipod until I called them to confirm it today. [...]
