The next chapter.
2010, it’s been an amazing year. Wishing everyone a wonderful, healthy, happy 2011. May your numbers stay between the lines of the Dex, may you never bonk on your bike rides, and may your insulin flow freely, un-occluded, for all time. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
So true.
This. Is. Hilarious. It’s funny only because all of us with diabetes and the people who spend a lot of time with us can relate to these ridiculous statements that come out of people’s mouths. Special thanks to the author Joanne over at Death of A Pancreas for this amazingness, and to Kerri Sparling over at [...]
Lost in translation…
Last week, I blogged about a young man struggling with his diabetes, and parents at their wits end, desperate to try and help him manage his disease. There was an element of the conversation that particularly peaked my interest though, and that was the conversation sparked by me asking the question: does he have a [...]
Special Delivery.
It’s not just Monday folks, but the Monday after Christmas, and since that gets me down anyways, I’m about to do a little ranting and raving. I work full time. Let’s start there. Meaning I’m not home during the day. Because I’m working. One of the reasons I work full time is because this awesome [...]
Make a difference…D.R.E.A.M for a Cure!
In the spirit of the holidays, I am so excited to have Kristi Domke guest blogging for me today. Kristi has lived with Type 1 diabetes since she was a child, and years after her diagnosis, others in her family found out they had it to. Kristi was there to guide them through their diagnosis, [...]
A better tomorrow.
Two weekends ago, I went away with my stepmom for the day for a girls trip to the spa. The weather was unseasonably warm for a December day, even for SoCal, so we hit the pool before heading in to our spa treatments. The pool area was quiet that day-all the more reason to not [...]
Love.
Champagne? $40 Party cups? $10 Sugar-free banana cake with cream cheese frosting baked by the best boyfriend in the whole world for your birthday? Priceless. And for the record, it made an awesome breakfast four days later
I hear ya already!
Ok – don’t get me wrong. I love my DexCom, and it’s been awesome having a new one in my life since the death of my original set over Thanksgiving. But the sole purpose of Le Dex is to alert me when BGs are heading in the wrong direction, and lemme tell ya, that little [...]
Sweet offerings…
“Hey Lex, I’ve got something to give you in my car,” my friend said with trepidation. “I hope it’s an ok gift to give it, if not it’s totally fine, you don’t have to keep it.” What could it be I wondered? What was she so concerned about? Was it an ugly Christmas sweater? Tacky [...]
18. And 28.
It’s my birthday today my friends, so I am going to keep this post short and sweet since I’ve got some partying to do. My birthday is just a few days before the anniversary of my diagnosis of diabetes, so each year that passes for me in age is also a milestone in my time [...]
