Hi Everyone! I’m back with a new blog post. Let me go ahead and dust the cob webs off. I took a brief hiatus from my posts since the summer of 2019. I thought it was important to re-engage in the blog to provide an update to my followers on my status.
So, my big update … Read more
Over the past several months I have started going to weekly high intensity kettlebell workouts. I’ve always worked out on a consistent basis, but my recent kettlebell workouts have brought me back to my high school football days.

As promised, I wanted to create a post about the common questions that I have received over the years from all walks of life. These questions have come from friends, family, other T1Ds, T2Ds, and parents of T1Ds.

After my post last month, I wanted to calm things down a bit and get back to the basics.

That said, my fasting blood sugars have been creeping a little higher than usual. Usually when this … Read more
It’s always interesting talking with people about my situation. The average non-diabetic has heard of diabetes, but what they believe as truth sometimes makes me laugh.

First off, thank you everyone for your support with my blog post from last month. It was great hearing everyone’s support of my 5 year milestone of staying off of medication as a type 1 diabetic. I appreciated all the kind words.
Last summer when I had my annual endocrinologist appointment, he mentioned some new technology on … Read more
The Holidays are a very fun time that I’ve always enjoyed. However, back in 2013 I received the news that I had type 1 diabetes right before New Years, which wasn’t a fun way to start the year.
Early on soon after diagnosis, each day was stressful while I was trying to understand the disease and drastically modify my diet … Read more
4 YEARS AND 11 MONTHS WITH NO MEDICATION OR INSULIN INJECTIONS AS A TYPE 1 DIABETIC
This month I wanted to change things up a little. Instead of the typical focus on my journey managing T1D without medication, I thought it was a good time for a 2nd guest blog post from my wife!
