#5 - The Cure

    Starting in fifth place, my post about "The Cure" for diabetes is currently popular with viewers.  In this post, I go over what would need to happen for a cure to become a reality along with my prediction for the future of a cure.  To view this article, use the link below! 

#4 - The Cost of Insulin

    In fourth place, "The Cost of Insulin" post is also rather popular.  This doesn't surprise me as insulin price is always a topic being debated and discussed.  In this post, I go over the "history" per say of the price of insulin.  I look at the facts and it is one of my personal favorite posts that I have wrote.  To view this article, use the link below!

#3 - Nick Jonas

    In third place, I wrote an article about Nick Jonas (the Jonas Brother with type 1 diabetes).  I discussed his life story with the disease and his outlook on life.  He is a very positive person and his main goal is to help and inspire others being being a role model with the disease because he said he didn't have that growing up.

#2 - A Mother's Perspective

    Coming in second place, "A Mother's Perspective" is about how my mom knew something was wrong.  I was 11 years old at the time of being diagnosed so I wasn't really old enough to know what symptoms to look for in diabetes.  I did an interview with my mom to get the most accurate responses that I could.

Battle of The Brands

      Due to changes in insurance, I unfortunately have had to change the brand of insulin that I use.  While this isn't the worst thing in the world, it still felt like a huge change because I had only ever used 1 brand and changing that just felt wrong.  However, after getting past that stage, I can now say that I have had experience with 3 different brands of insulin and can tell you how it has affected me if you are going through the same situation.     I first started on Humalog.  This was the brand I started with and used every day for 9 years.  Then my family changed to an insurance that no longer accepted Humalog.  When I first found this out, I was upset and didn't know how to feel.  But I didn't let my feelings get the best of me and I knew it would be a change I could handle.        I switched to Insulin Aspart first (which is the "off-brand version of Novolog).  With almost identical packagi...

Take Your Pick - Insulin Delivery Methods

Introduction:      Caring for type 1 diabetes comes in many different forms and there is not one set way that works for everyone.  Personally, I have tried a variety of different methods that I have tried and experimented with.  All of the methods that I mention in this post I have personally used.  The main point I want to get across here is that until you have your body figured out, it is all trial and error.  And trust me, there will be A LOT of error at the beginning.  The important thing is that you don't get discouraged and simply try new methods until one clicks.  My goal with this post is to teach how to use each delivery method and share my personal experience with each. Insulin Delivery: Syringe and Vile     When I was first diagnosed, I started out being taught how to use the syringe and vial method for insulin delivery.  It was important to start out by learning this method because when moving to other insulin deliv...

The Savior

 Introduction     When I was first diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, I was very scared.  I was 11 when I was diagnosed so, I didn't really know a lot about the disease.  I remember being extremely confused and worried about how the rest of my life would be.  If you have been newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, I am here today to tell you that it is going to be okay and you can live a normal, healthy life with type 1 diabetes. A Real Life Saver     When first diagnosed with diabetes, you have to walk through the motions and learn how to give yourself a syringe injections because if anything in the future were to go wrong, you would at least know how to get insulin this way.  Once you prove you can do this easily, you can then move on to getting an insulin pump and a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor).  I briefly went over this combination in another article. " The Cure ," but I want to specifically focus on the CGM here.  When I starte...
