Mind the management.
I’ve spent a lot of time with fellow ‘betics lately – be it for work or other connections, I seem to have talked to a LOT of folks with Type 1 this past week. And as usual, I thoroughly enjoyed connecting with other people who know what it’s like to deal with this %$*@ing disease [...]
Sticking together.
The sun was setting on another perfect day in San Diego, and the time just seemed right for a margarita. Let me back up for a second – I never drink margaritas. In fact, I don’t even think I know how to make a margarita. As a person with diabetes, they’re just one of those [...]
Monkey Wrenches.
I should have known. The morning had started with a low, and I should have known. In fact, the DexCom went off before the alarm, and I just should have known. I woke up, and downed a GU for the low, dozing back off for a few short moments before actually getting out of bed. [...]
Diabetes Squared meets Myabetic
I am really stoked on a series of webisodes by Diabetes Squared that I just learned about. Diabetes Squared is a series available on youtube about a family with two young children with Type 1 diabetes. Their video shorts chronicle the literal ups and downs of living with this disease, and how hard it can [...]
Tour de Cure 2010: Success

So that’s how that feels.
The past few weeks, I’ve been asked by the Tour de Cure committee to reach out to our Red Riders (Tour riders with diabetes) and let them know we’re here to help with reaching their fundraising goals. Essentially, I need to light a fire under the folks who haven’t raised any of the $150 minimum. [...]
Myabetic hits the D-Blogs!
I am SO excited to announce that my friends over at Myabetic had their products and story featured on THE gold standard of dia-blogs, SixUntilMe.com last Friday, and I am thrilled at the exposure this will bring their incredible brand. The founders, Kyrra and Lauren, completely understand the needs of a person with diabetes and [...]
Inspiration Station
Last Saturday I had the pleasure of seeing the documentary “The Science of Inspiration,” about people with diabetes training for the ultimate test of physical fitness: a full triathlon. For anyone that doesn’t know, a true triathlon is a 2.4 mile swim, followed by 112 mile bike ride, topped off with a full marathon (that [...]
The Friday Rundown: Airplanes, Big Names, and maybe a new (robot) pancreas…
Holy smokes – Friday already? 2010 is already chock-full of diabetes news, issues, and hot topics, but before we dive in, one quick announcement for SD locals with Type 1 or 2 diabetes: This Sunday, the Tour de Cure Red Riders are getting together at 8am at Mira Costa College in Cardiff for a “PR” [...]
