This is kind of a big thing for me even though most may not think the same. My last blog post was the 100th here on Blogging Diabetes and it took me about 14 months. I would truly like to post every day, but it’s just not feasible with my schedule and other responsibilities. Heck managing my diabetes and trying to be healthy is a full-time job.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you that stop by and especially those that take an extra minute or two to post a comment, tweet or refer a friend. I would especially like to thank some regulars like:

Lorraine, Cherise, Karen, Bryan, Rachel, Jaimie, Gary, Scott, Harry, Jill, Chris and any others that I may be forgetting. Seriously… Thank you!

Tony

Congrats!

It is not required to post everyday. Like Lorraine said on Twitter: “I like blogs that r meaningful.It’s not how many posts u have.”

Very true.

Thank you Crystal! I guess I add the stress to myself feeling like I should be sharing more with my faithful readers. I really wish I could post more, tweet more and interact more with people such as yourself who make all the hard work worthwhile. It’s a blessing to have people that know what I go through and in an online community where we can bounce ideas or experiences off each other.

I agree it’s all about quality vs. quantity.

Thank you for the comment and have a great day!

I should be the one thanking you! I’m a regular because I like what you post and what you say. You may not realize it but you have given me a certain amount of power over diabetes. I kind of look up to you to understand Tristan better. The fact that you are so honest and open about your challenges is priceless to me.

Your insights have helped me…. so THANK YOU!

I want to know if I am noraml. I was 19 years old when I was diagnosed a type 1 diabetic. My grandfather, which was diabetic, saw mw drinking a lot of liquids and going to restroom frequently and said that I had sugar diabetes and to get to the doctor. I did and they took a sample and it was 240, which at the time was borderline. Then I was put on a diet and sent to classes, I followed the diet for a week. (Now at the time I was diagnosed, my weight was about 112 5’6″ tall.) The doctor did not put me through the 3 hr or so diabetes test. Well anyway after a week I looked gostly white and my blood sugar had skyrocketed to almost 700, I was put into the hospital and put on insulin. I am now 46 years old and i was never overweight. I have been a yoyo diabetic all these years and have every problem that diabetes brings with it. My problem is finacial and heath insurance. I can’t afford either and I woryy that if I have to go to the hospital that I can’t recope. I have to depend on my mother and grandmother to help me finacially and I am at my wits end. I need help serious help!

Teresa, your situation at diagnosis sounds all too familiar. I was diagnosed at roughly the same age. I can also totally relate to the yo yo affect that diabetes can cause with little sound reason.

I wish everyone had access to healthcare so people like yourself can adequately manage their diabetes with supplies and help from an Endocrinologist. But I digress and am probably preaching to the choir.

I will try to reach out and find out more for you. If any of the readers know something that may help, please share it here. I’m not sure if you qualify for Medicaid, but that may be an option.
