This past week, I feel like I’ve been surrounded by nothing but numbers. I’ve been working on some survey data at work. I’m pretty good at it, but that doesn’t mean it still doesn’t make my brain hurt. On Wednesday, I looked down at my odometer on the way to dinner and I noticed my car hit an important milestone … click to read more –>
I hope I won’t end up like the mice in Kim’s diabetes research studies, but I am seriously considering participating in an upcoming study through my endocrinologist’s practice. I got a flyer in the mail a few days before my doctor’s appointment last week advertising the study. The only requirement listed was that you have Type 1 diabetes and manage … click to read more –>
I went for a walk this weekend. A long walk – diabetes-wise – at over 3.5 miles. Long enough to need some supplies.

Today and tomorrow, I wanted to share two of the newest items in my collection. The first item I received at Friends for Life this summer.

In my almost eight years of pumping insulin, and my one year of using a CGM, I have never had so many things go wrong, but also so many people help make it right.

One year ago today was a very important day for me. Any guesses on what I am celebrating? It is something I first attempted in 2007.
Something happened to my iPhoto library and it’s connection to my Flickr account. The pictures for this post were unfortunate victims of a horrible syncing accident. I can tell you this – they were all pictures of my meters not matching each other and not matching my DexCom. ************ Meter accuracy is not a new issue. As I wrote in … click to read more –>
