I've Got My Own Type 1 Blog To Do

I love both Freddie Mercury and David Bowie, so I’m starting the new year off with a nod to both in this post’s title. I haven’t written in a while and there have been several reasons why. First off, I had been training since last June for my very first…

So said Freddie Mercury and Queen. And I have to want it all whether I want to or not. Hi. My name is Stacey. And I’m a diabetic supply hoarder. That’s tongue in cheek obviously, but all too true as well! November is Diabetes Awareness Month and it’s a perfect…

I have family (one who has T1) in Houston. My kids (one who has T1) live in Los Angeles and could see the current raging wild fire from their front porch. I lived in Northridge, CA during the infamous Northridge earthquake in 1994 – and lost two apartments in the…

The other day was my one year anniversary using a Dexcom G5 continuous glucose monitor (CGM.) I can’t resist a good music pun, so this post’s title references where I usually attach said CGM (and by the way, that’s tape around it on the pic below – my skin is…

Day 5 of Diabetes Blog Week and the topic is More Than Diabetes. The prompt:  Lets wrap up the week by sharing a little more about ourselves, beyond the chronic illness we or our loved ones live with.  Share an interest, hobby, passion, something that is YOU.  If you want…

Day 4 of Diabetes Blog Week and the topic is What Brings Me Down. This one is really hard for me. What brings me down is that one my kids has type 1 diabetes too. I was diagnosed at age 10. They were diagnosed at age 5. Ironically, our diagnosis…
