#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 packaging to Novolog (shown below) you can tell that the two products are

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 delivery methods in the future, the syringe and vial can be

Type 1 Vs. Type 2 Diabetes

Introduction     A lot of the time, people who don't have diabetes, don't even know there are two types of diabetes.  I have been compared to type 2 diabetics, but the reality is, the two different types just aren't managed the same.  Through this article, I hope to clear up the main differences between the two. Type 1     Type 1 diabetes is a hereditary disease.  It occurs because the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the Beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin.  The immune system gets confused and doesn't recognize these Beta cells.  Thus, the Beta cells are destroyed, and the pancreas no longer can produce insulin.  There is no currently available cure for type 1 diabetes: only methods of treating the disease. Type 2     With Type 2, there is something different that occurs.  The pancreas still produces insulin, but the body is resistant to it (in other terms, the body can't absorb or use the insulin).  The insulin is there for the body to use,
