happy(?) world diabetes day! ~ Dear Blogosphere

About Dear Blogosphere

Dear Blogosphere has been my online journal for over seven years. It has followed me along a journey of education and growth. It is where I have shared adventures, delights, and thoughts with my family, friends, and the world-at-large.

Today, I find myself contemplating on God, religion, hope, and love. I converted to Roman Catholicism at Easter Vigil of this year. I am still learning about my faith and know I will continue to learn and experience it for eternity. So lately I have been sharing my thoughts on my faith.

Please join me on this journey. Share your thoughts.

Love, Natalie

happy(?) world diabetes day!

November 14 is World Diabetes Day.

I had a plan to write something thoughtful and possibly thought-provoking about life and growth with type 1. And I don't have enough time... instead, I'll share a few great resources you can check out if you're interested!

BASICS ABOUT DIABETES
A brief overview of all types of diabetes.

THE DIABETES DICTIONARY
I use this quite often when I'm reading biomedical research about T1D. It has pretty much everything in it.

CELEBRITIES WITH THE 'BETES
Short slideshow of a few celebrities with type 1, 2, and gestational diabetes.

DIABETIC ROCKSTAR
This is my favorite website for all 'betes related things. I love the motto: "Diabetes isn't a death sentence--Life is a death sentence. Stop with the excuses: Start living, or start dying, the choice is yours." It has great resources and forums for emerging adults like myself. Unlike most support groups/websites, it leaves me feeling empowered.
