TGIF

T.G.I.F. Without a doubt.

It's been a long week, one that was amazing because of Diabetes Art Day! With reading massive blogs in one single day and everything else going on this week, there's no time to blog now. Mostly, because I'm off enjoying the FREEDOM of being re-connected to my insulin pump. Not having to stab myself in the leg everytime I want to have a "carby snack" is AWESOME. So,  I leave you with the next best thing...

My D-Dog Riley! In my stead, she will keep watch on the Diabetes Online Community for a bit while I'm away.

RILEY!
Two important items before I leave you with Riley, though...

I do want to wish my parents a happy wedding anniversary, celebrating their big day back in 1977! So, borrowing from Jacquie over at Typical Type 1, this may very well be National Larry and Judi Day. Well, at least it's an international event in my mind.

With this longer weekend, make sure to take a few moments to click here and submit a comment to the FDA about proposed menu nutrition guidelines that are dictated by the health care reform. Public comment is open until Tuesday, Sept. 7. Bennet wrote a great post recently at YDMV, so you should read that, too! It's important stuff, so please take a moment to make sure your voice is heard on this.

So, there you have it. For everything else that, Riley and I will see you soon with recaps on a lunchtime D-Meetup, my first days back with Bacon Gibbs The Pump, and whatever else may come to mind!

Happy Friday, and enjoy the Labor Day Weekend!

What a cute pup! I really did say "Aww" out loud, which is awkward, since I'm at work. Hope you have a good weekend.

Why We Need Diabetes Awareness Month... More Than Ever

Image
Hello again, Diabetes Awareness Month. Yup, November marks another national awareness month -- aimed at those in America who are pancreatically-challenged or rapidly heading in that direction. And on Nov. 14, we'll once again mark international World Diabetes Day honoring the birthday of insulin co-discoverer Dr. Frederick Banting, who was born on this day in 1891. As always during this time of year, we've been inundated with marketing pitches from organizations big and small. And as always around this time of year, many in our community ponder the perennial question: Does it all matter? Really? Admittedly, it's not outside the realm of reasonableness to question the effectiveness of NDAM (shorthand for National Diabetes Awareness Month). But our country is in a different place in 2017 compared to past years, is it not? It's a good time to set skepticism aside to argue that November's designation as Diabetes Awareness Month truly does matte

Flapping the Gums

No time for my chatty-typing fingers to engage you today. I'm off to the dentist's office for a dreaded appointment. Thanks to the wonders of D-enduced periodontal disease, this should be a visit full of poking, prodding, pain, and likely some bleeding. Great times. Not looking forward to this visit. Or the next more painful one. I see soup in my future. Maybe Easy Mac. But, I digress. That's all fodder for a future blog post. In the meantime today, talk amongst yourselves. Flap those online gums in the blogging world. And remember to brush and floss.

Welcome to the End of the World?

Well, did anyone think this is what 2020 would look like? Global pandemic and worldwide public health emergency, everything shutting down and a potential economic collapse on the horizon. Holy fuck. ' A "Pandemic (in Quarantine) Playlist on my Spotify is now a thing, and my own remote worklife now in its 8th year has taken on an eeerie new spin. As are my watchlists full of dystopian and post-apocalyptic TVs and movies for streaming in these strange times. All of my work travel and conferences for the spring have been nixed, and we're all watching closely to see what the impact may be for summer events. What about my "underlying health condition" that is type 1 diabetes? So far, so good. No signs of anything astray. As I've shared over on DiabetesMine, I have been using the Tandem t:slim X2 device since mid-October 2019. That followed three-and-a-half years of Multiple Daily Dosing with pens and Afrezza inhaled insulin insulin. I starte
