Diabetes Blog – Happy-Medium.net

Hello… I’m Stephen.  I live in Baltimore, Maryland, USA with The Great Spousal Unit, Maureen.  I’ve been living with Type 1 Diabetes since January 1991.  I’ve been a pump user since April 2010, and I’m currently wearing the Animas Vibe pump. Currently wearing the Dexcom G5 continuous glucose monitor.

I found the Diabetes Online Community in the summer/fall of 2011, and that discovery has changed my life. I started this blog in April 2012, and since then, my diabetes advocacy has continued to grow. Among other achievements, I’ve attended and spoken up at FDA workshops and participated in clinical trials.

I’ve been thrilled to serve as a facilitator for the Diabetes UnConference. And I’ve been honored to volunteer for Diabetes Patient Advocacy Coalition. You should Google both of those.

I’m currently serving as a member of the State of Maryland’s Advisory Council on Health and Wellness, where I am co-chair of the Diabetes committee. In addition, I’m part of the 2018 Reader Panel at Diabetes Forecast magazine.
