Want to Share Your Experience With Diabetes?

Here’s one thing I hate about being diabetic… the fact that it never goes away. It’s draining some days. Yeah, I deal with it but there are days when I just wish I could throw my needles and testing supplies out the window, and just have a day where I worked out and ate and didn’t have to deal with blood sugar.
On those days, it really helps to hear other people’s stories about being diabetic. It doesn’t even mean I want to hear bad stories about it, but it’s just nice to know that there is someone else out there who knows what I’m going through.
I thought it might be nice to share a bit about ourselves and remind other diabetics that they aren’t alone. To that end, I’m going to be starting a “Putting a Face on Diabetes” segment where I will feature one of you. I’ll give you some interview questions, share a photo (if you like) and just have you talk about your experience, things you like to do, and anything else you’d like to add.
If you’re interested in being featured, send me an email to: cherie.burbach@b5media.com.
Hi Cherie. I’m not diabetic, but do understand the frustration of chronic conditions. I wanted to stop by and say hello and wish you the best with your new blog.
Hi Peggy,
Thanks for your well wishes!
Hi Cherie. I’m coming up on my 10 year anniversary of type 1. I struggle with this disease everyday and am working on doing better. I’m sick of my doctor telling me, I’m young and doing good with my control. I know I can do better and AM going to do better. I want excellent control and to be consistently in the 6’s for my A1c. I would love to be featured in your blog.
Thanks for the post!
Tony
