This article was taken from June 2008 People Magazine Special Collector's Edition. I did not write this and give full credit to People Magazine.'Little' SecretThe Inspiration Behind Nick's SongWhen the third Jonas Brother album, A Little Bit Longer, coming out this summer, we asked Nick to give us the inspiration behind the title track (see lyrics, right), which he wrote in the middle of filming

Grieving and Diabetes

Grief is a very normal process that everyone goes though at some time in his or her life. People grieve after they experience the loss of a person close to them. Sometimes it is after the loss of a home in a disaster. Some people experience grief after a life altering event.Illness is also a time when people experience grief. I've often heard about people going through the stages of grief after

Doctors, Vacation, and Birthdays!

I had an endo appointment this morning. Got the new script for One Touch strips for my new Ultra Link meter! I switch from BD effective tomorrow afternoon. Yay! My A1c was down to 6.3. Ties for my lowest ever. I had it that low once before. I'm still shooting for below 6. I think I can do it. CGMS has helped greatly. The bad news is that I am pretty sure that my insurance company is going to STOP

Cara: iRobot

One thing I will assure you all that I will not discuss on my blog is my personal life. It's just one aspect of my life that I rarely talk about to anyone I know. I will say this: I don't have much of one. I never dated in high school. I only casually dated in college. Due to this, my dating experience is severely limited. Some days I feel like a robot. Really. I am attached to a machine 24 hours

Tagged!

I was tagged by Donna, over at Donnabetes. Bless her. Now I have to find 6 people. Yikes!Rules:Once you’ve been tagged, you have to write a blog with 10 weird, random, facts, habits or goals about yourself.

Craziness

I took my CGMS off today, after my customary 6 day run. And nearly the entire 6 days was off. It was rarely right. That is unusual. I typically have close readings about 90% of the time. Not so with this past run. I know it was probably just a bad sensor, but it can be kind of frustrating at times. I left it out today and plan to start over again tomorrow or Friday. Wish me luck. :)My insulin

My Mother

Tomorrow is Mother's Day. As most all of us know. It's supposed to be a special day to celebrate all our mother means to us. Sadly, the flowers I sent my mother cannot begin to express my thankfulness for her and her role in my life. Three years before I was born my mother and father went to the House of Ruth adoption ministry and began to fill out paperwork to adopt a child. My mother prayed for

What Do I Do Now?

My best friend got engaged in January of 2007. She got married last Saturday. That translates to 16 months of "wedding" going on. It was a nearly constant topic of conversation. More so in the past several months as the wedding got closer and closer. The past two weeks were wedding 24/7. Now it's over. And I'm not quite sure what to do with myself. I have other stuff going on and other stuff to

Diabetes in the News

It seems that in the past week diabetes has been all over the news. So much so that I felt I needed to post on the various articles. Many of you in the diabetes OC have already read and posted on these articles. But there are so many that I am going to give a brief run down and post some of my own thoughts on these articles.First, last week I read this title: Study: Pregnant Women With

Spray Tanning and My 100th Post

Today I went to get a spray tan. Cause of the whole wedding thing. And I have learned a new thing for all you ladies that are pumping and want to get a spray tan. I timed my site change so that I could rip it out right before getting the tan, and the put the new one in right after.The tan turned out great. I got back to the vehicle and put the new site in, no problems. Then we went to Old Navy to
