Diabetes Blog – Happy-Medium.net

How long has it been since I’ve posted something about what others are writing throughout the Diabetes Online Community? It’s actually been about six months.

There is certainly a lot going on in our part of the world wide web, and I hope to share some of it here. If you’ve read something particularly noteworthy, and it’s not mentioned here, please leave the link in a comment so the rest of us can enjoy reading it too. Thanks!

Here’s why Sarah sometimes sees managing diabetes like a heavy stone

Rachel Foster is another Writer I Like. She posted recently at Type2Diabetes.com, talking about useful strategies that help her get through the change of seasons. Some of these are really good, regardless of the type of diabetes in your life.

Finally… you know how much of a fan I am about athletes who crush their athletic goals while living with diabetes:

You know, I miss doing these. Our community is still full of amazing writers, determined advocates, and people I want to get to know better. I hope you enjoy getting to know these people too. Happy Tuesday!
