DiabetesMine A Girl's Reflections Spread The Love – Diabetes Blog Week 2013 “As another Diabetes Blog Week draws to a close, let’s reflect on some of the great bloggers we’ve found this week. Give some love to three blog posts you’ve read and loved during Diabetes Blog Week, and tell us why they’re worth reading. Or share three blogs you’ve found this week that are new to you.” This is the last topic, which I am writing a couple of days late. I tried to read as many Diabetes blog week posts, however there are so many of them. It is going to take me a few weeks to get though all of the blogs. Melissa at Sweetly Voiced’s “Podetry” is as creative as it is beautiful. Disease is never beautiful, But the human condition is. Reva at TypeONEderful’s diabetes art is amazing Meri at Our Diabetic Life’s touching poem to her three diabetic sons’ is incredible. A great big THANK YOU to Karen Graffeo for putting together and hosting for the fourth time, the 2013 Diabetes Blog Week. Like this: Like Loading... Today’s prompts is Diabetes Art -
I Am Your Pancreas My Diabetic Heart » Blog Archive » A DOC Logo – Diabetes Art Day It’s OK to Need Help by Mike on March 20th, 2011 In previous blog posts and conversations over the last two years, I’ve made no bones about the fact that I’ve battled with bouts of depression and anxiety since I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and type 2 diabetes. The daily routines of medications, blood sugar testing, meal planning, and other related bullshit, combined with the constant worry of trying to figure out how to pay for all of those medications and testing supplies, are simply overwhelming at times. Add to that all of the typical stuff that goes along with every day life, you know… work, bills, chores, relationships, etc… and you’ve got yourself a great big barrel of fun. It’s all enough to destroy someone mentally. As difficult as it is for me to admit, I reached that point in the early part of February. And the hard part is that I know it didn’t have to happen. The moral of this story is this: It’s OK to need help; You just have to ask for it!
Bitter~Sweet: Diabetes Art Day!! September 1st is always a very special day, for two reasons. The first is that it’s my wonderful husband’s birthday!!! Happy Birthday, SweetPea - may your year be filled with joy!! What is the second reason? Last year, I made a Diabetes Voodoo Doll to show how diabetes makes me feel like a human pin-cushion. It’s a blue circle inspired by the World Diabetes Day symbol. Believe it or not, after I finished my necklace I did come up with an idea for another diabetes art project.
