Swimming Around Key West with Type 1 Diabetes: 9 Things We Learned
On June 28th, Erin Spineto, Renee Moreno, and I swam 12.5 miles around the island of Key West, FL. We were the first team of people with type 1 diabetes to swim the race, and we swam a significant portion against the current. The water was so shallow that we jammed our fingers into the coral, and they bled. We swam over the tops of sharks. We were impatient with each other and laughed about it later.

Bringing Your Diabetes to Work
As a person with diabetes, preparing for an interview also includes the internal debate as to if, and when, it is best to let your employer know you have diabetes. Safety is a top priority for me, and I’m not comfortable being involved in work or social situations without at least someone knowing I have diabetes. I want my employer to know that I have diabetes because that keeps me safest.

Using thinly sliced zucchini in place of noodles is a great way to reduce the carbs and amp up the nutrition in lasagna. But you really have to get as much excess moisture out of the zucchini as possible, so that you don’t end up with a soupy mess.

Kids First Diabetes Second: Quinn’s Diagnosis at Three
My husband had taken the morning off to spend time in the classroom, and since it was also our turn to clean, I left work to go to the school. As I began stacking knee-high chairs and tidying up the classroom, my cell phone rang. On the other end was the pediatrician. Not the nurse, but the doctor. “Where are you?” “At preschool.” “Where is your husband?” “Actually … here with us.” “Where is the school?” I didn’t like where this was going. “There was sugar in her urine. I was about to go to lunch, and I was looking over the morning labs. I want you to go to the hospital (literally two blocks away) and get blood work done, and then meet me at my office at one o’clock. Can you do that? It is really important that you do this quickly.”

Kids First Diabetes Second: Enjoying Summer with Diabetes
I like to pack a couple of water bottles that we can refill throughout the day to stay hydrated. Remember, there is a lot of blacktop at amusement parks, which turns up the heat! Pack enough food to cover regular snack times, plus a few extras in case you need them to recover from lows. I also pack a few extras for other family members. Applesauce pouches and organic fruit strips hold up well in a backpack or cooler.
