Diabetes Mine

This is a great blog from a recently diagnosed diabetic:


I think I can, I think I can… I know I can, I know I can… learn to count the carb content of everything that passes my lips; carry monitor, glucose tabs, insulin pen and needles at all times; learn to inject myself throughout the day; navigate the American healthcare system; and ward off the feeling that I’m somehow being punished. We all can. I’ve learned a ton since my diagnosis nearly 2 years ago. With diabetes, you really do learn something new every day. So I’m starting this blog as a place to sort out and share some “diabetes smarts” (pardon the pun) –– a gold mine of informational nuggets, if you will. Fellow Diabetics and those touched by the disease, please do comment and share what you’ve learned, too!
