Unfortunately, I missed a few days of Diabetes Blog Week. \u00a0But I really loved participating. I especially loved discovering new diabetes blogs<\/strong> and catching up on blogs I haven’t visited in a while. \u00a0What struck me as I went through the blogs was how many amazing people there are in our diabetes community – so many kind and sensitive D-people. \u00a0And they’re good writers, too! \u00a0I really thank Karen Graffeo<\/a>\u00a0for organizing Diabetes Blog Week. \u00a0It’s great to take a time out and focus on our community.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Today’s prompt:<\/p>\n

As another Diabetes Blog Week draws to a close, let\u2019s reflect on some of the great bloggers we\u2019ve found this week. Give some love to three blog posts you\u2019ve read and loved during Diabetes Blog Week, and tell us why they\u2019re worth reading. Or share three blogs you\u2019ve found this week that are new to you. (Thanks to Pearlsa of\u00a0A Girl’s Reflections<\/a>\u00a0for inspiring this topic.)<\/em><\/p>\n

1. \u00a0I loved a post called Seasons of Love<\/a>\u00a0by Melissa Lee. \u00a0Check out the video of her beautiful singing.<\/p>\n

2. Jenn at SweetZoo wrote about her dream diabetes device<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. There’s a nice post on Naturally Sweet Sisters<\/a> on the topic Diabetes Accomplishments, <\/em>with this advice,“Whatever your plans were for your child, don’t let type 1 diabetes stop you from doing them.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
