“An Orange Peanut?! For Me?!”
Lots of news to spread today! Buckle up for some bullet points.
Are you near the Washington, D.C. area (Crystal City, VA, specifically)? Come to the CWD Focus on Technology regional conference and expo happening next weekend, February 1-3, 2013. Sebastien Sasseville is the keynote speaker, and this dude is a total badass. He jogged across the freaking Sahara desert, m’kay? I’ll be doing a session with my favorite short d-blogger on diabetes devices in the real world. It also sounds like a handful of DOC locals will be getting together for dinner on Saturday night. I’d love for you to join us!

The VIAL Project: Helping Lee Ann Thill
More info on the VIAL Project
Lee Ann Thill is one of my favorite people around. She is super smart and plugs into the emotional side of life with diabetes with experienced perception. She’s been wrestling with type 1 diabetes for a long time. She get’s it.
Looking to take her smartness to the next level, she’s gone back to school (hello, Dr. Thill!). She’s already 18-months into her doctoral program and has launched a pilot study that she hopes to develop her dissertation around.

I Passed Out
December 24, 2012. Christmas Eve day.
I felt blessed to get in a couple hours of basketball, even on a holiday. We played hard. I had a lot of fun, and wore myself out quickly. Blood sugars were pretty normal for most of the session, with a slight spike as I was finishing.
We got cleaned up and headed out to lunch — a normal routine I have with a few buddies at the gym. Before leaving I tested my blood sugar again and was surprised by a very high reading.
