He told me that they play basketball in the activity center in the evenings. I didn’t have any of my basketball gear (contact lenses, ankle braces, etc) but wanted to give it a try. It was so much fun. This year I made sure to pack some basketball clothes. George and Cherise covered my co-hosting duties for DSMA Live on Thursday night, and I got to enjoy some basketball. It was a blast! We were able to round up a handful of grown-ups and a bunch of athletic younger folks, and we ran full-court ball for about an hour and a half. Rick Philbin is a basketball stud, and the guy is in amazing shape. He pretty much does whatever he wants to on the court, and there’s not much a...

I shared some news about a new tool that Gary Scheiner was putting together called Type 1 University. Since that time I have tried a few of the classes, and I loved them. Gary lives with type 1 diabetes himself, is an exercise physiologist and a Certified Diabetes Educator.  All of that mixed together means that, for most people, he totally gets it.  I also think he has a gift for explaining things in a way that make sense and that can be used in the real world.  While Gary knows a lot of “doctor talk”, that’s not the language he speaks. Gary has been successful in finding many ways to overcome the challenge of location when teaching people about diabetes.  As long as I’ve known him, he’s used technology to...

Gary is looking to overcome some of the challenges that keep many of us from taking advantage of the education available (busy schedules, travel, parking, out-of-pocket costs, and not knowing what’s out there).   Type-1 University (T1U) addresses some of those challenges by providing interactive education available online. The syllabus continues to grow, but already has some great topics: Mastering Pump Therapy Advanced Carb Counting Blood Glucose Control During Sports & Exercise Weight Loss for Insulin Users Getting the Most from You...

We opened for entries last Monday. I’m excited about community voting this year (y’all get to choose the competition finalists). I’m equally delighted to have such a wonderful panel of expert judges whose role will be to determine the winners from your list of [...] (Source: Diabetes Mine) Diabetes Mine blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3354518 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:00:05 +0100 3354518 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3115242&cid=t_292339_134_f&fid=34841&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.diabetesmine.com%2F2009%2F12%2Fwayback-wednesday-wheres-the-physical-activity.html Today, I’m revisiting a guest post from ‘legendary’ diabetes educator Gary Scheiner for two reasons: 1) this is the time of year when we most need this essential reminder about gettin’ our exercise, and 2) well, because I just love Gary (who’s also the author of the exceptional book Think Like a Pancreas, btw) and [...] (Source: Diabetes Mine) Diabetes Mine blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3115242 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 13:00:33 +0100 3115242 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2828418&cid=t_292339_134_f&fid=35187&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FDiabetesDaily%2F%7E3%2F5rJt9eB98nU%2Fnewly-dx-week-think-like-a-pancreas.php A bunch of years back I spent some time working at an ISP (Internet Service Provider).  I had the opportunity to take a bunch of training courses. One of my favorite courses was called "Think Like A Router", and it was the class that finally got through to me.  It was the class that made the light bulb "pop" on for me.  All of a sudden I was able to make sense out of so many things that were confusing me at work.When I ran into a diabetes related book with a similar title I was excited!  Even with my high expectations, the book did not disappoint.  In fact, it exceeded my expectations and taught me many things.  Gary Scheiner lives our life.  He has type 1 diabetes (funny story in the book - he was diagnosed in Sugarland, TX.  No joke.)  A Certi...
