Friday

Good morning!  I am mentioning a wonderful page on Facebook called TypeOne DiabetesAwareness.  A lot of questions and conversations occur on this page that are very helpful.  The website is   http://type1diabetesawareness.org/   Here is a description:  Type1DiabetesAwareness.org is a website that was started in November 2011 that aims to raise awareness for type 1 diabetes. The tag line is Bringing Unity to the Type 1 Community. The website is managed by an individual with a connection to type 1 diabetes. The website is not affiliated with any medical organization nor does it give medical advice. Although only 5-10% of all diabetics have type 1, that still makes up millions of people all over the world that have this autoimmune disease. The website prides itself on having accurate information. It offers a forums section where several type 1 related topics are listed which is beneficial to those that live with this disease on a daily basis. It provides those an outlet to discuss very important topics. Managing type 1 diabetes can costs hundreds of dollars each month without health insurance. Unfortunately, many people can not afford it and need help. The website also offers a programs/info section that directs those in need on where to find assistance with insulin, blood glucose meters and test strips, blood ketone meters, lancing devices, assistance for those on an insulin pump, and information about type 1 diabetes. There is also a pump comparison chart listed to help those trying to find the right insulin pump. The purpose of this website is to bring people with type 1 diabetes together as well as their families and friends. It is a place to learn and share real life experiences with others that understand. The website also promotes awareness of type 1 diabetes.
On another note, I contacted ADA about my job issues and disability.  They are so kind and helpful.  I was given a list of lawyers who are well versed in disability claims and cases.  I plan to call some of them today.

Have a great day!

Well, it is 11:47 pm and I am up treating a low blood sugar, ugh!  I went to sleep at 10 pm.  Such is life with this disease!
