THE BETES Organization
Today I’m sharing a post from Rick about THE BETES Organization. Their mission is to help you feel better about the hard stuff, and they help people, families, and caregivers understand the meanings of chronic illness in their lives through a unique, playful, and un-scary method. Also, sock-puppets.
When Scott and I talked about writing this guest blog about ‘the BETES‘, he didn’t have to invite me twice. It’s such a thrill because ‘the BETES’ means a great deal to me and I hope it will come to mean a great deal to you as well.
The BETES Organization (thebetes.org)

Joe from Germany Comes to the Diabetes UnConference
I am thrilled to introduce Joe. He came all the way from Germany to attend the very first Diabetes UnConference and asked if I could help him share his experiences. I’m absolutely honored, Joe. Take it away!
6,000 miles for just two days
A lot has been written about the first Diabetes UnConference already, so I want to focus on the view from the outside, from the perspective of a German participant, and share what made the UnConference so valuable for me.
The idea of visiting the Diabetes UnConference inspired me from the very first moment I read about it. The only problem was that it was in Las Vegas whilst I ...

Diabetes and Kidney Disease Updates from diaTribe
diaTribe is one of my favorite organizations. The quantity of high-quality work that comes out of their office blows me away.
If you’re not already subscribed to their free newsletter, what are you waiting for? Sign up!
If you can, I also encourage you to financially support the diaTribe Foundation. Can you imagine diaTribe on steroids?
There are two articles from a recent mailing that I want to share that focus on diabetes and kidney disease/kidney health.
Bringing Metformin to More Patients
In this article Kelly Close talks about new research published showing metformin is safe to use for many more people, espe...

Asante Snap – Use Pump Body Settings?
There’s a really cool feature of the Asante Snap insulin pump that I don’t think people know about. Here’s a quick video about it.
*Disclosure: I have a business relationship with Asante Solutions.
Pretty cool stuff.
Reminder: Asante is donating to Spare a Rose, Save a Child for every free pump trial registration for a limited time. Learn more on their blog, or sign up directly to get started.

Changes at TuDiabetes! Yeah!
I have been an active supporter of the TuDiabetes family for a very long time. So long that I was once quoted as saying TuDiabetes is “like MySpace on insulin…”
When was MySpace? Hold on, I have ask Moses…
Over the years, TuDiabetes has brought so many wonderful people into my life, so many smiles, and so many incredible memories. Numerous friends around the world, and even more locally. I’m forever grateful.
Leadership, Trust, and Great People
My focus isn’t the recent change in leadership at Diabetes Hands Foundation (Manny Hernandez is stepping down). But I thought it would seem s...

Put five on it – Spare a Rose
It’s a beautiful gift to give, and to receive!
Lack of access to insulin is the most common cause of death for children in many countries around the world. You can change that.
Five dollars is enough for Life for a Child to provide a month of insulin to a child in need. It’s no coincidence that the cost of a Valentine’s Day rose is about five dollars.
Spare a rose, save a child. It’s that simple.
GIVE NOW!

Real Life Diabetes Podcast by Diabetes Daily Grind
I enjoyed a new diabetes podcast today and wanted to spread the word about it. It’s the Real Life Diabetes Podcast by Diabetes Daily Grind.
Amber & Ryan at DDG are fun and laid back. They promise occasional explicit language and content that may not always be suitable for children.
But it doesn’t take long (less than a minute) to see that they’re also serious when it comes to self-improvement and living better with diabetes, and helping others do so, too.
More reasons to like it?
The opening theme song is pretty awesome…

Doug Masiuk – Appalachian Trail With Type 1
The post Doug Masiuk – Appalachian Trail With Type 1 appeared first on Scott's Diabetes.
To say Doug Masiuk likes to run is like saying Scott Johnson likes to drink Diet Coke.
Doug is all about empowering people with diabetes through his love of running. Not long ago he ran across America, and now he’s taking on another amazing challenge. We’re talking with Doug tonight on DSMA Live about what he’s up to. I hope you’ll tune in and hear about what you can do to help keep him moving.

Scott’s Old School Low Treatment
I spent Saturday helping to clean out dad’s garage. We found an old tackle box with some low BG supplies inside.
These don’t have dates on them, but they are at least twenty-five years old. At least.
Fruit Roll-Ups
Back in the day we didn’t have glucose tabs. In fact, I remember baggies of sugar cubes and tubes of cake frosting being the go-to tools of camp counselors. Pocketable? Not really.
For as long as I can remember, I’d have two Fruit Roll-Ups in my back pocket at all times. Flattened to death before long, but still worth 12g of carbs.
Peel from cellophane before eating, yo.
I’ll...

Jay Haapala – Flying Solo with T1D!
I’m thrilled to bring back Jay Haapala for another guest post! Last time was about the Prudential Spirit of Community award, and this time he’s soaring above cloud nine!
Welcome back, Jay!
Jay and his parents after his first solo flight.
When you think of flying you probably think of lousy service, high prices, crowded airplanes, and a lot of waiting in line. You will most likely stress about getting on your 6:00AM flight and then stress yet again about making your 45-minute connection in Atlanta. There’s another side to flying that many people never get to experience and even fewer diabetics get to experien...
