#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.

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

The Cure

Introduction   Type 1 diabetes has been a disease since the ancient Egyptian times.  Will there be a day when we have a cure for the disease? It seems to be a hot topic about once a year where there are claims that we are getting close to a cure, but no results have been uncovered yet. How is it Done?      In order for a cure to be made for type 1 diabetes, a solution to the underlying problem needs to be presented.  In other words, a cure for type 1 diabetes would need to make the body produce insulin again and ensure whatever made it stop originally wouldn't happen again.   This seems like it would be a daunting task as there is a lot of unknown information, obviously.   What We Have Today      There isn't a cure for diabetes yet but with technology, we are very close to a cure.  Through the use of insulin pumps and CGM's (continuous glucose monitors) it makes managing one's diabetes a lot easier and more automated.  The pump can increase insulin doses if the CGM read

T1D and Alcohol

 Introduction     Drinking alcohol while being diabetic obviously comes with a risk.  But, as does almost anything else, including eating.  In this post, we will be going over both sides to whether or not alcohol should be consumed while being a diabetic. It Should Be Avoided     One side to the argument is that alcohol should be avoided because it makes the blood sugar unpredictable.  Like many other aspects of diabetes, there isn't a fool-proof method that works for everyone.  Alcohol can have different effects for different people.  Personally, alcohol makes my blood sugar drop several hours after I start drinking.  It can be a scary issue because if I'm in a place where I don't have access to carbohydrates or something to eat/drink to raise my blood sugar, then I obviously wouldn't be able to get my blood sugar back up.  I really don't drink often but when I do, I make sure to have plans in place to prevent a situation like that form happening.  But, sometimes p
