Just last week I finally started the Diabetes 365 project.  This project is located on Flickr and has a group of around 220 people that submit pictures or videos every day, hence the 365.  At first I thought it would be a lot of work with little return.  I’m on the verge of pre ordering [...]

When I converted over to an insulin pump roughly four years ago, little did I know that syringes would never go away.  I have written here before some of the reasons I miss my syringes and my insulin pen.  With injections there’s no unknown.  You fill the syringe, you grab some skin and inject.  When [...]

While digging out from a record snowfall here in Maryland, I have been counting the days until our family vacation scheduled in May.  My wife, children and I will be traveling to Scottsdale for about ten days to enjoy the pool, golf, Sedona views, and some much needed relaxing.  I will say that this has [...]

The last few posts discussed the fact that I have gotten back on the “saddle” in terms of my diet and exercise similar to last August when I was doing great.  Over the Holiday’s I was pretty down for letting myself go again.  Not only had I put back on the weight I lost from [...]

I have always been slightly happy that my blood sugar control isn’t in the poor range.  [...]

There certainly is a lot to catch you all up on being that I took a few weeks off for the Holidays and then passed a stomach bug around our house.  First, I hope everyone had a great New Year and started 2010 off on the right foot.  I am going to break all of [...]

2. Have you ever smoked?  Never, hate it and wish it was banned everywhere.
