Happy Hump Day! three more ’till the weekend. Or two, depending on when you’re reading this. Anyway, I know a lot of DOC folks have been riffing (is that spelled correctly?) about their experiences during Diabetes Blog Week, and the super posts that everyone wrote.
I was particularly inspired by many who wrote on day 5 about “What They Should Know”. From Karen at Bitter~Sweet:
“What is one thing you would tell someone that doesn’t have diabetes about living with diabetes?”. Let’s do a little advocating and post what we wish people knew about diabetes. Have more than one thing you wish people knew? Go ahead and tell us everything.
Every one of the posts I read were great… they made me think, laugh, and choke up. Here are some of my favorites:
First, from a couple of Mikes:
Everyday Ups and Downs
And Mike Hoskins at Diabetes Mine
This was the first time I had a chance to read a post at
DeeJay’s ‘Betes
And
Liz at Welcome to My Diabetic Life
Finally… I have to admit that I don’t read much from Moms of CWD who post, for a number of reasons. But these two are well worth reading more than once.
