Connected in Motion: Creating Community for People with Type 1 Diabetes
To anyone who isn’t close to type 1 diabetes, it’s difficult to explain how you can be fine at one moment and in the next one, feel your consciousness slipping away. It would have made a huge difference to me when I was newly diagnosed have known other type 1’s to talk to after my scary experience. During that time I did talk to my family and endocrinologist about life with diabetes, but having friends living with similar highs and lows would have offered a different type of support.

Cucumber Yogurt Salad
Cucumber Yogurt Salad
We’ve been lucky with the weather this week and the warm days inspired me to create a recipe for cucumber yogurt salad. This salad has a Middle Eastern flair to it that you can’t miss. You could easily find it served at a meal with hummus, tahini, and tabouleh. But I like to make a large bowl of it and eat it for breakfast after a long run. It's filling, easy to make and tastes great.
