So, I will call her TWM (tired wife/mom).  I completely understand.  You are actually very brave to be able to tell him at such a young age that you will not watch him die.  And kudos to you for telling him that you will not allow your children to watch him die.  It takes strength to say something like that.  And while it's terribly hard to do, it's the right thing (in my opinion). This past week, the...

And it felt gooooood. Now that there is an established online community for people with diabetes (PWDs, caregivers, and loved ones alike), there are a lot of opportunities for engagement and advocacy.  The DOC isn’t limited to adults living ...

In celebration of this milestone, I want to welcome you to Lemonade Life’s new home, now officially living at www.lemonadelife.com. I have been waiting 5 years to own this domain, and have been suffering with the stupid “lemonlemonade” URL for far too long. When it finally became available last week, I jumped at the chance to grab it. Big thanks to my friend and web designer, Erica, for working tirelessly through the weekend to get everything set up and raring to go for today! I could not have done it with out her. There are very few things in my life that I have done for more than five years. I did elementary school for six (if you count kindergarten). I lived in my childhood home for sixteen years. College was only four years and my long...

I have just finished participating in the Roche Diabetes Social Media Summit, which is perhaps my favorite 24 hour period of the year. It’s like Christmas, Thanksgiving and a family reunion with people you actually like all combined into one. But honestly, I think it might even be better than that. I have spent almost 10 years of my life participating in some form or another of the online diabetes community, and in a way, I really do consider my diabetes family to be a real true family. My experiences in the community started at a fairly young age, and I consider myself to be partially raised in the diabetes community. I know that bringing me together with my family once a year is not why Roche created the Summit...

The person I was talking to laughed and said, “She’s not a famous blogger like you?” I laughed too, but I wanted to protest. I am not a famous blogger. When I first started blogging, I didn’t even know you could be famous from blogging. I didn’t even really know much about blogging at all, but simply had picked up on the fact there were other people using these strange contraptions to talk about themselves. At the time, I wanted to talk about diabetes and there seemed to be an audience for that. It was until much later that I learned there were other ty...

Not each entry has been directly about the illness, but this is my life and diabetes is in it and in everything I do, diabetes is there. For the past couple of months, I have become a more active member of the twentysomething blogger community, going so far as to join the administration team at the Ning network 20sb as an Events Manager. It’s exciting to meet new people and hear stories of other twentysomethings who are going through similar struggles. In the same way that reading diabetes bloggers mirrors my emotional struggles with a chronic illness, so do twentysomething bloggers mirror the emotional struggles of work, relationships, money and family. In a handful of posts that I have written this month, some of...

I should have gone down earlier to relax a bit, as it was beautiful and warm in Ft. Lauderdale. I’ll have a longer post tomorrow about my DRI experience, but I just wanted to stop by and say a little hello and let everyone know that I have made it home safe and sound! I still hate Newark Liberty International Airport and I swear that airport as separation anxiety as it took nearly 30 minutes to get my bag at baggage claim. How hard is it to put suitcases on a converyor belt? I don’t understand.   Tomorrow is my first day at my  new job so I have to hit the hay!

I was asked to speak at the conference from the patient’s perspective on pharmaceutical marketing – and not as an actual marketer, which I also am, but for consumer lifestyle clients. This was before the Roche Diabetes Social Media Summit, so when I agreed, I didn’t have much of an idea of what actually went into talking about social media to Big Pharma. But let’s just say, it’s a whole lot harder than it looks. My talk, which I gave last Tuesday afternoon, was one of the last in a series of conversations that took place with almost all pharmaceutical marketers. I was, in fact...

You know you’re excited. Allison has a Macbook and that means she’s now joining the crazy world of VLOGGING. Only problem: what to vlog about? As per my usual midweek tradition, I turned to my friends and fans in the Twittersphere for a little guidance as to what I should talk about for my first “show”. OK, some of the ideas are good. Some are a little… weird… (::cough::George::cough::). I’m still looking for ideas as I haven’t recorded anything yet. Do you have something you have always wanted to ask me?

On our way there, Erik and I admired the architecture of the old buildings and checked out some of the restaurants and stores that we passed by. When we were about two blocks from our destination, I noticed a bright red awning in the ...

If popular belief were true, my diabetes would have been cured three times by now. But it’s still here. Yesterday I asked everyone to share something good with me. If you haven’t done so yet, I invite you to hop over to the last post and share your something good with me. When you have diabetes for fifteen years (or heck, if you’ve had diabetes for fifteen minutes), it’s easy to find the something bad. Waking up at 3 a.m. with a blood sugar of 52 mg/dl. Or waking up at 3 a.m. with a blood sugar of 522 mg/dl. The gushers, the bruises, the stings. The weakness and disorientation from a low. The nauseau and crankiness from a high.

There’s enough of that here.). While I thought 2007 was crazy busy - what with my college graduation, move across the country and start of my first Big Girl Job - 2008 definitely racked it up a couple notches in the “too busy for words” sector. January brought the start of my first 101 Things in 1,001 Days - my mission to accomplish 101 of my goals by September 28, 2010 (which is just shy of a year and a half from now - yikes!).

I haven’t seen any other recap memes so far this year, so I thought I would use an oldie-but-a-goodie as my 2008 recap meme. As I was reading through my archives, I realized that I don’t have very interesting first sentences. I’m not sure why I can’t seem to come up with a catchy first sentence, but it’s definitely not my forte. Perhaps I should add this to my list of New Year’s Resolutions. Also, I noticed that some months had more memorable posts than others. There were a few months where I had trouble deciding between posts, while other months none of the posts really seemed all that life-altering. But I s...

Last Wednesday, I had the opportunity to attend a PRSA NY Chapter event “Meet the Mommy Media” with five influential mommybloggers. They were Nicole Feliciano from Mom Trends, Sarah Caron from Voice of Mom, Stacy DeBroff from Mom Central, Kimberly Coleman from Mom in the City and Victoria Pericon from Savvy Mommy. The room was packed with PR professionals from the New York City area and the panel had a lively discussion on pitching, blogger relations and the latest controversy surrounding Motrin Moms. Now, most of you probably aren’t in public relations, but some of you may be getting pit...

I started blogging back in the summer of 2005, as a 19-almost-20-year-old college student between her sophomore and junior year in college. It seems like such a long time ago, even though it’s only been three years. But so much in my life has changed, from living in a college town in the middle of Oregon to starting a new life in the New York City metropolitan area, and I feel blessed that I have had the opportunity to record most of it here at Lemonade Life, first at Blogger and now WordPress. The Online Community has grown in leaps and bounds and it’s not gone unnoticed. From the growth of TuDiabetes to 5,000 members in just a year and a half to our own blogging community adding new members left and right. On one hand, it’s not a happy...

I’d like to highlight all the terrific people who deal with diabetes on a regular basis so we can get a glimpse into what it’s like to have the disease. For this episode of Putting a Face on Diabetes, we are talking with Tony Rose, who writes Blogging Diabetes. Tony has had diabetes for ten years, and blogs about things like control, types of diabetes, food, complications, and real life in the diabetic world. Enjoy this interview: Photo from Tony @ www.bloggingdiabetes.com. What type of diabetes do you have? Type 1 Diabetes. When was it diagnosed, and how? I was diagnosed in June 1998.

Tonight was one of those nights. For a large chunk of the sermon, our pastor talked about beauty and how we - as humans - have the impossible challenge of trying to understand God and His beauty. At one point, towards the end of his sermon, he encouraged us to go out and admire beauty in our world - through nature, works of art, museums, etc. But he also reminded us to admire the beauty in people, which I thought was interesting because most people don’t really phrase things like that. In New York City, it’s easy to admire the beauty of certain people - the models and actors and whatnot. There are a lot of pretty people here. Or people talk a...

All 30 days of November. Considering I have a difficult time coming up with material for everyday of the week, I was fairly convinced that I wouldn’t be able to do it. But throw in a handful of memes, a bout of homesickness and The Angry Eye, I managed to come up with a few things to talk about other than diabetes. Which brings me to this thought: Every so often, I get enormously, ridiculously, out-of-control SICK TO DEATH of talking about diabetes. I mean, seriously, how many times can I tell a story about being low or going high before contemplating writing “You remember the last time I was low? It was just like that.” I once wrote, perhaps ironically, that I am more than dia...

My pants are bigger on me, my shirts are roomier and the scale just sits there staring at me. If I could talk to the darn thing I would say, “get the he*& up and move or I am going to….”. Seriously! I understand that I am toning and all, and that the scale is not the end all, but throw a poor dog a bone. My before food bloodsugars have been ok, between 90 and 120.

I had a minor surgical procedure at the beginning of the week and I think just the trauma of it threw me off. I had a small tumor/cyst (we aren’t sure till pathology comes back) removed of my head, so I have about 20 stitches or so. And my left eye was swollen shut and bruised all week from the pulling and tugging of my scalp on that side. Boy oh boy was I pretty! So here ya go…. between 90 and 123.

I have been slightly elevated the last 48 hours, it’s going to happen now and then but I do not like when it does. But does anyone? And I do not have much to complain about compared to type 1 diabetics but none the less frustrating. Blood sugars… 120, 134, 101, 145, 98, 102, 112- slightly higher then normal. Could it be that I do not feel so hot and have a touch of a virus or something similar? Maybe. I just do not feel myself this week. I have been really, really trying with the exercise and diet. I have been walking and riding the elliptical daily as well as running around the lacrosse field every other night and lifting weights. Ugh!!!!!!! I have not changed my diet too much, but I guess I could always do better. A...

My bloodsugar numbers were 93, 101 and 88. And I also made sure that my nutrition got back on track. Whew! Breakfast- 1/2 apple and a small glass of skim milk. Lunch- 4 piece chicken nuggets and a half of a banana. Snack- handful of raisins. Dinner- scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, fruit. And my walk was long and glorious. I also did my sit ups, push up, and weights. Let’s hope I can keep on track. Here is to a great rest of the week!

Amy's efforts are a great example of how blogs can be used to creatively share valuable information with a patient community.Here is a taste of the article and how Amy got started,I've been writing my Web site for three years now, and some amazing things have happened. First, I learned all sorts of facts about my own health that doctors never told me. I learned that thousands of other people out there have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes later in life, like me—a condition called LADA (latent autoimmune diabetes in adults). From other patients I also learned essential basics about related conditions, like gluten intolerance (celiac disease), and Raynaud's syndrome, a circulation disorder in t...

What a flippin’ couple days it has been around these parts. I just checked my blood sugar for the first time in a day and a half, that whole 3 kids throwing up thing was rough! Then last evening… that’s right… I started with the great porcelain bowl. And I continued through today, but I have now scrubbed the bathrooms, fed the kids, taken a shower and checked the old blood sugar. And it is high! I have eaten very little, or nothing and my blood sugar is 152. Go figure, I guess what they say is correct about if you eat too much it is high and if you eat too little it can be high. Like I said, I have eaten virtually nothing today and the only exercise I had was running to the bathroom and cleaning the toilets and changing the sheets. And don&#8...

I have not been exercising like I should and I can tell in my very short tempered, anxious mind. I need to get on the elliptical and go to town, maybe lift afterwards. It is amazing that just 15 years ago I was in tip top shape playing Division I ball in college, running 6-8 miles a day on top of practice and weight training. Now I am a mom who tries to walk for at least 45 minutes a day with the elliptical 3 times a week, and I am darn lucky if I get on the weight bench! I do have some good news, at least for me, I have lost 4 pounds since the New Year. Nothing huge, but it is encouraging. I would like to lose about 15 total, so like 10-12 more. Ugh, so hard as we get older, isn’t it? I don’t want to be a model or wear what I wore when I was in co...

I don’t want to toot my own horn but… toot! Haha. BS from early morning till evening… 94, 98, 103, 100. Yup, pretty darn good. Breakfast… 1/2 cup Special K with skim milk. Total of 26 carbs. Lunch (really like dinner because I worked in the evening and me needed one family meal)… Onion, pepper, salsa and cheese omelette and a half an apple. Dinner… Low carb vanilla yogurt, nutty trail bar and a diet coke. 15 carbs and 14 gram of protein. I also drank about 10 bottled of water throughout the day. Snack when I got home from work (I was hungry)… String cheese, handful of nuts.
