Diabetes Training Camp.

I went to Diabetes Training Camp with high expectations, after hearing others talk about their experiences there. But I was still totally blown away. I had no idea it was possible to pack so much knowledge, physical activity and laughter into a single week, and although the camp is still in its infancy the staff [...]

Burnout.

I’ve been a bit burned out on the diabetes front lately. After I returned from Diabetes Training Camp (which was amazing, and will be described in detail in a future post) I was a little sad to be back in the real world and have been putting off blogging about it and uploading my weeks [...]

A near miss.

I do a lot of cycling, both for pleasure and for transportation, and I consider myself to be pretty safe and quite cautious when riding in the vicinity of cars. Although I am lucky to live in an area that has either wide bike lanes or separate bike paths along most roads, and most drivers [...]

Countdown to camp.

This weekend, I’m shipping myself and my bike out to Chicago for Diabetes Training Camp. Needless to say, I’m stoked - but I have so much packing and finalizing of the details to do that I’m a little frantic. Not to mention that a significant portion of the next few days will be spent celebrating [...]

One bowl, two spoons.

In the nearly 15 years I’ve had type-1 diabetes, I have been lucky enough not to have had a low that I wasn’t able to treat myself. However, there have been some frightening close calls over the years - the worst of which is not only one of the scariest things that has ever happened [...]

Hey Sara! I've seen you around on the Minimed CGMS forum topics! I just got mine in early October and I am so happy to have it. I learn something new every day ...

Sara---Thanks so much for your input about my jury duty tomorrow.

My daughter lived in Denver for several years while working on her masters and I visited there---I remember a rousing sing-along Messiah one visit and an incredible, funky, wonderful hot spring in the mountains another time. I actually got to like your goofy airport---though having grown up in Minnesota where there is one of the worst airports in the universe, my standards may not be too high!

I so admire those of you who are "old pros" at dealing with all this!

Take care.....Judith in Portland

Hi Sara, just joined Tu D today, and looking around the site, I noticed that you seem to be a passionate bike rider. I do a lot of bike riding myself - approximately 20 km a day for work + 20-40 km rides on my MTB whenever I have the possibility to do so.

Sara, Ooops, you asked me if I use a CGMS, no in Belgium they are practically non existant, except on loan from the hospital! Somedeay I would want one, but I would kind of like the beginning "faults" to be ironed out before I get one. It is also kind of hard knowing where to put another "machine" on to my stomach! Furthermore the software has to be improved. Each machine seems to have some advantages and some weaknesses. Neither am I a very "technically oriented person"...... I would need some help! Do you have one?
