It’s been a while since I’ve shared what I found in the Diabetes Online Community, so I thought I would make this Thursday edition of Happy Medium about some of the other great writers and advocates out there. Ready? Here we go:
First of all, I don’t give enough T2 love via my blogroll.
I need to rectify that.
So I’ve added some links to fabulous Type 2 advocates and writers this week. Here are two:
Corinna Cornejo at Type 2 Musings
Bea Sparks at The Type 2 Experience
Here are two more Type 2s, who happened to sit down and talk recently about their experience with the Freestyle Libre CGM. Here are the links to their stories:
Phyllisa at Diagnosed Not Defeated
Sue at Diabetes Ramblings
You’ll find Phyllisa and Sue’s blogs in my blogroll in the future, and I’m feeling pretty good about that.
The other thing that’s been missing from my blogroll has been diversity. So I’m going to try and do something about that too, by adding Phyllisa and these super advocates:
Ariel at Just a Little Suga’
Mila at Hangry Woman
Ariel has a great take on life, and I love reading the stories she shares. Mila’s recipes are definitely bolus worthy and drool worthy.
Finally, I can’t leave you today without sharing the link to The Social Diabetes Project: 2018. Written by Kerri Marrone Sparling, it’s an in depth look at the history of the Diabetes Online Community, the rise (and leveling off) of diabetes blogging, all of the various platforms where patients and advocates have interacted in the past and interact today, and terrific viewpoints from people who have been there for all of it. When you have a break in your schedule, or even if you don’t, this is well worth your time.

That’s all for now, though that should keep you busy for a bit. I hope you’re enjoying your week. Remember… we’re always better when everyone is included.
