Sunday Funnies: Ballroom Diabetes + Our D-Blog Week Faves

By AmyT on May 19, 2013

We skipped yesterday’s prompt on Diabetes Blog Week for our regular weekly advice column, so today we bring you two treats:

First, our Sunday Funnies, addressing the Saturday D-Blog Week prompt… Diabetes Art.

Hey, dance is an art form ya know!

 Dancing With Diabetes D-Cartoon

 

Now, there’s a reality show we in the Diabetes Community could really get into! As always, we appreciate the talent of cartoonist Terry Keelan, a fellow type 1 living in Southern California who is very active with the athlete’s group Insulindependence.

 

Second, a selection of our favorite 2013 D-Blog Week posts, per the final prompt of this year, asking us to Spread the Love:

A D-Mom’s Guide to Type 1 + Celiac (Toaster In Tow)

By AmyT on May 17, 2013

We talk a lot about living with diabetes around here (hey, we’re a D-blog after all!), but we’re keenly aware that other ailments affect many of our D-brethren.
This is Diabetes Blog Week and the prompt for today encourages us all to think about what it might be like living with another chronic condition… Turns out May is also Celiac Awareness Month, so it seemed like a doubly-good time to take another look at this…

Today’s writing prompt, from campaign creator Karen Graffeo:

By MikeH on May 15, 2013

We’re in the third day of the annual Diabetes Blog Week, hosted by Karen Graffeo over at Bitter-Sweet Diabetes.
The topic today takes us down Memory Lane… diabetes-style!
As Karen instructs:

Today we’re going to share our most memorable diabetes day. You can take this anywhere…. your or your loved one’s diagnosis, a bad low, a bad high, a big success, any day that you’d like to share.

 
What is probably my most memorable…
