I will eventually fill this page with a true ‘about’ post, but in the meantime -
I am a conservative Christian Type 1 diabetic currently living in Florida and working in the higher education field. I love movies, TV, and random celebrity trivia. I love adventures, and especially enjoying traveling to a new place.
I have the cutest niece and nephews that I do not get to see nearly enough.
Bonus points if you can name the movie that the title of this blog gets its title from.
My blog usually ends up being a combination of posts about my family, friends, diabetes, and the random events of life.
Stay tuned…
This page has the following sub pages.
I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for adding a banner for World Diabetes Day to your page. I had planned on emailing you, but you beat me to the punch.
Tremendous thanks from IDF,

I hope the renovations are going well, and thanks again for the WDD banner. In case you are wondering what is going on with WDD, here is a little update.
*A Monumental Challenge* – Global monuments to light up in blue
————————————————————————
This year we are asking every city, town and village to acknowledge World diabetes Day and recognize diabetes as “a chronic, debilitating and costly disease associated with severe complications, which poses severe risks for families.”
We need monuments of local and national importance – from the village hall to the tallest tower – to light up in the color blue of the UN flag (Pantone 279 or as near as possible).
Among the monuments involved, we can count the Empire State Building in New York, the Citadel and Library in Alexandria, the Blue Mosque in Turkey and the London Eye. An up-to-date list of the buildings that have thus far agreed or declined to join the celebrations can be found on the World Diabetes Day website.
We need your help in adding monuments to the list. Let us know the monuments you are pursuing and those that have declined.

I work at dLife and I was wondering if you would like to be added to our diabetes blogger email list? Every week we send a fun video clip about diabetes. If you are interested, please contact me at urbahn at dlife dot com. Thanks!
Hi Sara,
I was just reading your post on the “Diabetes Mine” site and from what I have read on there and here on your site as well, I see that you would be the woman to ask about this. I see that you are a busy woman though, so I will understand if you cannot find time to reply. Anyways, I am type 1 diabetic as well. I was diagnosed when I was 12 years old and I am not 27. I have been on shots this entire time and now I am thinking about a pump. I have so many questions about it and I was just wondering if you would have some time to kinda fill me in on your thinking and experiances with a pump and what ever else you think would be helpful to me. I have been uncontrolled since I was diagnosed and I now have most of the complications from this disease. I also have seizures and so my main worry is about the lows. From what I have read, there are alot of people that experiance alot of lows with pumps and I was just wondering if you have had any problems in that area. I would greatly appreciate any information you would be willing to share with me, or if anyone else out there that happeneds to read this has any information to share, I am more than willing to listen to anything anyone has to say about this certain subject. Thank you so much for your time and all of your posts that I have read so far and look foward to reading in the future! Have a great day!
Thanks again,

Hello Sara,
Michelle (aka smoochdog) from DD here. Just thought I would come by and say hello! I am getting a new camera this summer and think I will join Diabetes 365 once I have it and can figure out how to use it! Good luck with your move!
