Well, after a week spent in Iceland, where I tempered my indulgences in soft-serve ice cream with lots of hiking (that’s probably my #1 tip so far for traveling with diabetes: walk a lot), I am now in France. Paris, to be exact — a city known for romance, culture,...
It’s official: my husband and I have left the country for a half a year on the road. Our first stop? Iceland, home of ash-spewing volcanoes and a grand total of 300,000 people. (I thought I might have my zero off, but no, it’s true.) The good news: it’s a...
I’ll give you a hint — it’s not constantly freaking out about whether your insulin is cool enough (or, for that matter, whether a fellow hosteller is going to snag it from the communal fridge and hold it for ransom). It’s all the extra movement. Seriously — I think of...
Oh man, it’s been a crazy couple of weeks — Peter and I packed up our house and moved out of California, and have spent the past few weeks hopping from family member to family member, catching up with everyone before we head out on a big six-month adventure. It’s...

...back in a ponytail. He wore a white t-shirt with a picture of a motorcycle, an ironic choice, since he was in a wheelchair. “You must be Catherine,” he said, reaching up to shake my hand. “Yes,” I said, reluctantly. “You’re Jeff?” I was hoping that there had been some...
So, we’re getting close to two weeks of this experiment — I’ve been counting each carb, measuring each insulin dose, and trying to figure out some scientific approach to diabetes management. I keep wanting to write a blog post about how I’ve had a breakthrough: that I’ve figured out how...
