I Run on Insulin Voted one of the net’s best!
Holy smokes party people! I Run on Insulin was voted one of the 2010 Top 50 Diabetes Blogs by bloggingawards.com and Medical Coding and Billing! The coolest part about this award is that bloggingawards.com bases their awards on content alone – meaning that the number of visits the site gets has nothing to do with [...]
All diabetes, all the time…
Since I’ve taken on this new role as a sales rep in the diabetes world, my life has literally become all diabetes, all the time. I work in the diabetes world, blog about it, volunteer to try and beat it, and pretty much live and breathe it all the time. But that doesn’t mean that [...]
I Run on Insulin voted one of the BEST!
Oh man. I just got the memo: I don’t actually get 36 hour days and I am also not Super Woman. Can you believe that? Turns out when you’re in New Mexico all weekend indulging in the finest southwestern food (not to mention the phenomenal company of good friends), you don’t get a lot done [...]

Action packed, in fact.
I’m a member of the online medical dictionary Medpedia, which is like Wikipedia for medical shtuff. People post questions in different subgroups, including the diabetes group I’m part of. Although I gloss over many of the questions (such as “what is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes…yeah…I am going to skip that [...]
The Ketone Lowdown…way more information that you ever wanted to know!
If you recall from this post, I’ve never really known what ketones are, when to test for them, and what to do if I have ‘em. Thank goodness I remembered to ask when I sat down with my CDE last week. As usual, he broke it down for me and now I am the proud [...]

Efficient Alert?
Medic alert identification. Everyone with the ‘betes is supposed to wear or carry something that identifies their condition in the case that they are found unconscious. And if you type in a quick Google search for “medic alert,” you get about 1 kajillion page results for everything from stainless-steel dog tags to shiny, rhinestone-encrusted, bedazzled, [...]

Alert Day is geared towards people with Type 2 [...]
