Kristen Stewart Walks for Diabetes

According to various celebrity news sites, Twilight’s Kristen Stewart took a break from promoting New Moon to kick off a recent JDRF Walk for the Cure event in Los Angeles. I’m not the biggest Twilight fan (anyone else find the whole Mormon subtext a little creepy?), but considering the star...

Skyline and Sky High

I’m currently visiting a friend in Cincinnati, and am dealing with all the fun of traveling with diabetes — extra sensors, syringes, insulin, test strips. I don’t have any makeup, but by God, do I have a lot of extra triple A batteries. Anyway, this is my first time in...

Home Alone

...about diabetes — which means that I’ve essentially been thinking about it all day. But even without the writing, it’s still tiring, this disease. I’m sure I’m not the only diabetic out there who would pay good money — at least the price of a CGM — for a vacation....
