\"Diabetes<\/a>The sixth annual Diabetes Blog Week ended on Sunday, with enough startling, illuminating, and hilarious posts to flip your diabetic brains inside out.<\/p>\n

Diabetes Blog Week, brainchild of diabetes advocate and Bittersweet Diabetes <\/em><\/a>blogger Karen Graffeo, happens annually in May. Each year, seven themes (one for each day of the week, natch) are chosen by Karen to inspire, unite, and criss-cross the paths of disparate D-bloggers across the globe. I think of Karen as the hostess of a worldwide cocktail party, where writers, readers, and commenters mix and mingle, creating hundreds of new connections.<\/p>\n

All week, I was a glutton for blog posts and found lots of new bloggers to love (and stalk!) These are some of the lines that grabbed me hardest:<\/p>\n

Monday: <\/strong>Why would a perfectly good boy want to waste time waiting for me to check my blood sugar when he could be eating already with another girl?<\/em> Read more on Pancreassassin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sunday<\/strong>: Sunday\u2019s theme, Continuing Connections<\/a>, encourages writers and readers to connect in new combinations. Each writer who posted a link to the Continuing Connections list has posted a link to their post of links. (Say that ten times fast!) Use this list to play blog roulette, or as a guide to the recommendations of bloggers you already know.
