Re-Post: We all have bad diabetes days. Even at the Olympics
I’m in New York today attending the BlogHer Conference, but that doesn’t mean I’m not still obsessively following the Olympics by updating my Twitter feed every 14 seconds. Today I’m paying homage to a diabetes hero, Olympic skier Kris Freeman who two years ago at the 2010 Winter Olympics had a really bad diabetes day. It […]

Happy Friday everyone! We made it! With Halloween already tomorrow (where did the month go?), I know there’s been tons of candy around these days. Seems like it keeps popping up at my office, my house – shoot, even my dry cleaner has big bowl out in honor of the holiday. There’s tons of candy […]

Nick Jonas has proved himself to be a true diabetes champion yet again with his recent dLife interview that aired this past Sunday.
