Trip to Estonia and Latvia… First, Latvia

I really enjoyed reading Elizabeth Snouffer’s article “Eating Abroad with Diabetes–Hong Kong,” Catherine Price’s interview with world traveller Bridget McNulty, and Catherine’s posts describing her own trips to Tokyo and Hawaii.

Diabetes in Paradise

To most people, eight days in Hawaii sounds like a dream. And while I’m not a sit-on-the-beach kind of person at all — in fact, I hate both the sun and salt water — I am currently one of those people. My husband and I are on Kauai right now,...

A Blast From The Past: Diabetes in 1999
