Starting just 4 years ago, I started passing out quite regularly - 18 times and 18 trips to the emergency room in the last 6 months. Many, many doctor visits, and changes in insulin use later, I still don't feel comfortable knowing it could happen again at any time. I applied for a DexCom Continuous Glucose Monitor but my insurance co. (BCBS) turned me down, even though my Endocrynologist stated that, in my case, this is truly a life threatening emergency.

This is great.I have been reading your blog religiously for the past month and I want to thank you for sharing thoughts, and research regarding Diabetes. I was thought I was alone, and that talking about diabetes was not right...as someone pointed out to me the other day " why do you advertise the fact that you have diabetes..it's like someone who has cancer is going around telling people that they have cancer!!" ---anyway thank you so much for taking the time and effort to blog your thoughts about diabetes and giving the courage for others not to shy away from this disease but look it straight in the eyes.

Hey Elizabeth, I guess I was sorta on my deathbed at the time. M - I haven't personally passed out, but I know many who have -- causing car accidents, ER visits, ruining a daughter's wedding, etc. Ugh. Thanks, Guys.

I'd say the first picture makes you look younger, but the others make you look like you're on your deathbed. I'd want to kick the artist. Is it really true there are more adults diagnosed with T1 than there were previously? It's interesting, I've met a handful of adults who were recently diagnosed with T1, but hadn't realized it was more likely now. I wonder what the heck's in our food supply? That’s the coolest thing!!
