The Diabetes UnConference: Be There 1
The Diabetes UnConference: Be There
The Diabetes UnConference focuses on the psychosocial aspects of living with diabetes and will allow all of the participants an opportunity to share and learn from each other. The “unconference” concept came from the tech community, who found that an open participation forum was a wonderful way to learn from others and get answers to questions that wouldn’t have been brought up during a keynote speech or an “expert” talk.
Invokana for Type 1 diabetes
Invokana Helps My Type 1 Diabetes
I emailed my endo ahead of time to give her a heads up that I wanted to discuss going on Invokana. Unfortunately, she wasn't familiar with use of Invokana in Type 1 diabetes, or how insulin should be adjusted when on it. I sent her all of the research articles I could find related to Type 2 therapies being explored for Type 1. Luckily for me, and much to her credit, she was willing to prescribe it to me off label to give it a try.

Chocolate Pinwheel Cookies
These slice-and-bake chocolate pinwheel cookies make a wonderfully festive treat and kids love them. Because the dough contains no gluten, it does crack frequently as you are rolling it up but patches up easily and makes no difference to the end result. You can make the dough ahead and keep it in the freezer to make cookies whenever you get a craving! Just let the dough sit out for 15 to 20 minutes to soften slightly before slicing.

5 Qualities This Diabetic Looks for in a Partner
My dating history can be summed up as: bleh. One of my ex-boyfriends took me to the hospital in the middle of the night when I had a stomach bug and high ketones, only to repeat - daily until we broke up - how annoying it was that he had to take me. Another guy I was seeing for a few months told me he didn’t care at all to learn about my diabetes.
When diabetes is too hard for a kid to handle
When Type 1 Diabetes is Too Much for a Child to Bear
The psychologist continued to report what Finn had told her as he leaned against me with his face buried against my shoulder. She had asked him, Are you thinking of hurting yourself? (He said yes.) How? (He reported that he wanted to bash his head in with a baseball bat.) How likely are you to do it, on a scale from zero/not really going to, to ten/absolutely certain? (He’d rated the likelihood a seven.) I was floored. But I was not horrified, because I didn’t believe he could really be thinking any of those things.
