Is that an Insulin Pump in your Pocket…

By | October 5, 2012

Or are you just carrying a circa 1985 pager? Don’t get me wrong, I love my Animas Ping, but there are definitely times when I wish there was a little less of it to love. Everyone who I work with directly knows that I have diabetes.  I’ve never had any urge to hide it, and [...]

By | July 6, 2012

Diabetes Blog Week: What They Should Know

By | May 18, 2012

By | May 14, 2012

Well boys and girls, it’s my first official* post of Diabetes Blog Week and I’m already breaking the rules.  Today, we’re supposed to be listing off our favorite DBlogs, but (dirty little secret time) I don’t really follow any religiously.  Instead, my media of choice for absorbing D info is Twitter where I’m more of a [...]
