Happy 75th Anniversary, ADA!
I just hit the ground in Boston, MA for the American Diabetes Association’s 2015 Scientific Sessions.
The session schedule is jam-packed with interesting sessions – way more than I can possible attend and absorb. I always say that’s a clear sign of a great conference.
The venue is huge. Huge! It fills me with hope to see so many people gather in one place in the name of improving diabetes care.
Thank you, American Diabetes Association, for making such an epic event possible every year. It means a lot to me.
Happy 75th Anniversary!

The question I’m answering today? What would I most like to see change about diabetes, in any way? OR reflect back on some changes I’ve been through since being diagnosed with diabetes.
This is a great topic, and my mind goes in so many different directions. Changes with diabetes? Are you kidding? Yes, please!
I don’t have to explain that a lot has changed in the past thirty years with diabetes. We’re making great strides in many ar...

Find out what Diabetes Blog Week is all about. Check out the topics for each day’s posts, and even see a list of this year’s participants. Thank you, Karen!
The question I’m answering today? What’s in my diabetic closet that needs to be cleaned out?
There are a few different directions I could take here, but I really like the angle around diabetes emotions.
My head is a mess. And I’m afraid to dig in and look at it.
What do I mean? I don’t think I’m sick in the head, but to some degree, I think we’re all a little crazy from living with diabetes. There are things I do, repe...

Diabetes Dominator – Daniele Hargenrader
Dominating Diabetes with Daniele
Earlier this year I chatted with Diabetes Dominator Daniele Hargenrader. We talked for about thirty minutes and had a really great conversation on being diagnosed with diabetes, struggling, succeeding, and each of us finding the best way for ourselves.
But that’s not the interesting part…
But what I really love about meeting Daniele is her story of making a terrifying decision and jumping in with both feet.
What do I mean?
Daniele was not happy with herself and made a decision to change.
To get in shape and change her body, she decided to become a personal trainer.
What do you...

PSA: Asante Snap Replacement Program
Many of you know that I have been a big fan of the Asante Snap insulin pump and that I’ve also been doing some work with them. Yesterday at 5:30 PM PST, Asante Solutions announced that it is closing down and the Snap pump is no more.
In an email communications from Asante sent to all Snap users, it was suggested we contact Animas if we are interested in transitioning to a new pump, and that Animas is graciously stepping up to help with a limited time offer for existing Snap users to help with the transition.
I also received communication from the team at Johnson & Johnson Diabetes Solutions and the Animas team le...

Find out what Diabetes Blog Week is all about. Check out the topics for each day’s posts, and even see a list of this year’s participants. Thank you, Karen!
The question I’m answering today? What aspects of diabetes do I choose to keep private from the internet?
My friend Bennet says that your diabetes may vary, and I agree 100%. With that in mind, I work very hard to keep clear of personal dosing, ratios, factors, rates, calculations, or any other sort of things that sometimes work for me, but might be dangerous for other people.
I am blessed to know a lot of people living with diabetes, and I’ve ...

Find out what Diabetes Blog Week is all about. Check out the topics for each day’s posts, and even see a list of this year’s participants. Thank you, Karen!
The question I’m answering today? What have I done that I’ve been particularly proud of?
Over the past few years, I’ve accomplished some major things that I’m very proud of. But what I’m most proud of might surprise you.
I learned to run, then ran some races (an 8k with Gary Scheiner, then a half marathon with Dana Lewis).
I won some prestigious awards.
I rode my bike for 102 miles in a single day.
And I celebra...
