Happy Birthday, Blogging Diabetes

Tony — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 13:45:10 +0000

A year ago today I wrote my first introductory post on Blogging Diabetes. I had no idea what I was doing, but had a goal in mind with three objectives. Those three were:

Discuss the real issues around living with diabetes or being a diabetic
Improve and sustain excellent control of this disease
Share ideas, suggestions, tips, etc. that an open forum can dictate

Here is a summary of the first year on blogging about diabetes. I hope you have enjoyed the posts, learned something new, better managed diabetes or connected with others.

A Truly Special Month: Blogging Diabetes – April 2009

Tony — Tue, 05 May 2009 13:00:55 +0000

April was a slow month in terms of the number of posts because I took some time off as we welcomed a new addition to the family. Our second daughter, Sydney, was born on April 16th and is an absolute blessing.

Even with the drop off in posts, we were able to capture another strong month in terms of visits, hits and page views. We had a great guest post, with Gary discussing his tips on running with type 1 diabetes. Another popular post that was well received was the Top Insulin Pump Advantages.

Also, we introduced a new sponsor – Discount Diabetic Sock Store on April 9th. I thank them for the sponsorship and recommend you to check out their site.

Early in April, there was a poll on Blogging Diabetes which asked the question, “what pertains to you”? Below you can see the results.

I’ve got some great posts coming in May. Thank you for visiting, passing the word on and for the great comments. I really appreciate it!

March was another great month for Blogging Diabetes with over 35,000 hits. April will be a challenging month as there is a lot going on that may prevent me from posting as much as I’d like. A special thank you goes to those visitors that check back regularly, tell others and help out by contributing valuable information in the comments.

I can’t believe we are a quarter of the way through 2009. Well if you missed any of the top posts or most discussed topics here on Blogging Diabetes, I have a recap below.

Blogging Diabetes – Best of November

Tony — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 14:00:13 +0000

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and if applicable, kept your glucose level under control. I woke up at 85, hit 125 before my early afternoon meal, went up to 175 by dinnertime and finished at bedtime at 155. These numbers are good for any day, and made me ecstatic for a holiday meal day.

It has been just over a month since I started writing here on Blogging Diabetes. Our Blogging Diabetes community grew more than I expected this month, and I of course have all of you to thank. Thank you for spreading the word about Blogging Diabetes, I appreciate it all.

Last month I mentioned how thrilled I was to be able to help a few people who e-mailed or contacted me. The goal of this blog is to help others and myself any way possible with regards to living with diabetes. I will try to tell it like it is without sugar coating any of it.

Here are some of the top posts from November.

Thank you for all of your support!

Tony
