I have Type 1 diabetes. I love to write. I’m happy when I am helping others. I speak up when it’s important. I have a passion for sharing knowledge and learning new technology. I was BORN to BLOG!
I’ve met so many other T1Ds on this journey who are cool and love to help others. We put our heads and hearts together … to bring more resources and knowledge to our amazing diabetes community. We’re making improvements every day … come back often, let us know what you think. And my gratitude for my amazing webmaster, Dave (an honorary T1D)!
And thank you for stopping by!

Gratitude, Gratitude, Gratitude …
There must be a country western song about gratitude! It abounds, it fills you up, it floods you, it makes you feel good all over. I am astounded with these feelings of gratitude and appreciate. For a loving husband, for a brilliant surgeon, for enough money to pay...
Puppies Aid in Healing!
Hey Buddy (the Westie on the right) and Bon Bon (the Lhasa Apso on the left, desperately needing a haircut) know how to deliver the perfect amount of TLC and attention!
What do you think of my brace?
So I had a little too much time on my hands ... and I decorated my neck brace! What do you think? Now, I'm being allowed to use the soft collar ... made of fabric. Any suggestions for decorating?

My Book and Surgery!
I guess you can call it irony ... or a strange twist of fate?! I started writing my book after many recent years of hospital stays ... and I learned how to manage. So ... my book is published and selling well ... and I have to go into major surgery tomorrow, with a 7...
