I've also been blogging every day this month for #NaBloPoMo<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As long time readers can tell, I usually do my own thing.  I am the longest continuous blogger on the diabetes topic, my first blog posts were in February 2003.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The purpose of the blog is to get better about writing, collect information about diabetes and my other medical conditions, and give myself a place to vent.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I don't join "Carnivals" — though years ago I did submit a post to Grand Rounds because I wanted to get a point of view across to some doctors.  And I don't do a lot of other diabetes awareness things.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This year I have.  My nails are blue, which has already given me the opportunity to talk about diabetes awareness, and i'm posting this blog entry.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I'm also thinking about posting a set of "day in the life of a Type 2 insulin pumper whose had lap band surgery", and might pick a day later this week.  I think Scott Hanselman's series he did several years back was interesting.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Diabetes is a challenge along with all the rest of the challenges I've had.  <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I doubt that there will be a cure that will help me.  Mine is genetic and lifestyle related — I was raised by several generations of diabetics.  When there is a genetic component there is also going to be an environment component, and it took years for my mother to learn to cook healthy.  I think I was able to change faster than she was.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This seems a bit lame, which is one of the reasons I don't participate in these things.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
