As a diabetic, it’s critical that I take care of my body and be as healthy as possible.  The odds are stacked against me so any little opportunity to eat right, exercise or pay special attention to my body could help me over the long run.
On the Facebook fan page, I have been talking about [...]

Having diabetes for about 12 years now, there are two things that I watch very closely and have been proud to have never had any issues.  The two things are: my feet and my eyes.  I have always been someone who runs hot and have never had any circulation issues.  Someday I’m sure this will [...]

I’m going to be 100% completely honest with the upcoming statement.  I’ve read many stories, posts and tweets that talk about making sure you always have your blood glucose meter or testing supplies with you .  There have been those that panic when they don’t have their meter to test with.  So here’s my approach.

I can distinctly remember back in the day rocking Obsession for Men by CK and thinking I was pimping. We have to be going back about 15+ years if I had to guess.  Since I’m taking a stroll down memory lane, I want to share with you my perspective on improvement whether it’s for work, [...]

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 [...]
