If you don’t get your pizza in time, you don’t have to pay for it.
Do you think we can work out the same deal for our insulin?
In almost (exactly) 5 years of pumping, this has only happened about three or four times. But man – it is nothing but frustrating when you can’t figure out [...]

Well, the goal of a recent package I received is to make mine a lot more simple!
During the holiday season, I participated in the DiabetesMine Holiday Survival Sweeptakes. I entered a few times, and managed to actually be selected as a winner once.
My prize was a starter kit from healthsimple. They have four different versions [...]

I returned the iPro this morning. I guess we will be reviewing the results at my next appointment. I had to keep a food log while I was wearing it so the results would make sense. Let me tell you – I hate logging!
I am a little (read: alot) frustrated with my endo office right [...]

I finally got the purple meter that I registered for at CWD this summer. The color is really pretty, don’t you think?
I was looking through all the pamphlets and booklets that came with the meter, and I noticed the warranty card. Really? Does anyone else think that 20 lancets is worse than underwear in your [...]

How’s that for a creative title?
I remember last year I was ’so excited’ about this day. I even think I took a pretty cool picture to honor the day.
This year? I am tired. Really tired.
The only even that was relatively close to me was this past weekend, put on by my endocrinologist’s office and was [...]

Seems to be the number of the day!
As I have ‘twitted’, I have a cold/infection thing that has been going around my office for a couple of weeks now. Last night I took the last dose of my three day Z-pack (wiki says the three day dose is appropriately a Tri-Pak). Considering the entire round [...]

For those of you who did not watch my last vlog (ahem – Allison), I am taking a class at the school where I work.
I used to work in the disability services office of a large public university. I am very familiar with the type of accommodations for which a diabetic is entitled. Any time [...]

Have a great week everyone!

The topic for this week’s vlog is the ‘diabetes police’ and how we defeat them. Most of the time I think the police are just clueless or don’t know how personal a question they are really asking.

I forgot to mention another techinque I use. A lot of people – diabetic and not – seem [...]

I got this e-mail today. I’m sure most of you did too.
Hi Sara,
I work in the Media Relations Department at JDRF and thought I’d let you know about an upcoming workshop we’re doing next week in Washington , D.C.
Title: Towards an Artificial Pancreas: An FDA-NIH-JDRF Workshop
