As any family living with diabetes will attest, summer is a particularly difficult time of year in the blood sugar management department. Unstructured time spent playing outside, swimming, attending the myriad of camps offered for the enjoyment of each happy little camper and out of necessity for beleaguered parents all adds up to trouble [...]
There is nothing like having a Type 1 diabetic in your household to make you conscious about your relationship food. Unfortunately, there is nothing like the boob tube to take that consciousness away. I do like having a TV in the kitchen so I can watch a ball game or the news if I’m cooking [...]
It is with pride and unconditional affection that I share a post my daughter, Elle, drafted. She recently attended a fundraising dinner for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. I hope that you will enjoy reading about her adventure almost as much as I did!
As I put my hands on the door handle to a [...]
I want to thank First Lady Michelle Obama for her efforts to get American families moving. The First Lady recently launched the Let’s Move campaign to address the alarming rates of childhood obesity in this country. Imagine for a minute that this generation of young people could be the first to have a [...]

President Obama came to Nashua, New Hampshire earlier this week. The Town Hall Meeting at Nashua North High School was intended to highlight the President’s commitment to strengthening America’s small businesses through tax incentives and other support. This may sound crazy for those of you who do not live in an early Primary [...]
Last night I had the privilege of attending the State of the Union as my mother’s guest. Of all the public speeches, campaign rallies and inaugural addresses, the State of the Union is one speech I have always wanted to witness. It is nearly impossible to completely capture on television the nuances associated [...]
Elle had the privilege of taking a field trip to the New England Cable News studio earlier this morning for an interview about life with Type 1 Diabetes and the launch of this blog. The tediously slow trip down Route 128 was worth every minute. Elle thoroughly enjoyed visiting the newsroom, control room and meeting [...]
It is time to replenish Elle’s diabetes supplies. We are down to one vial of insulin, two boxes of pump sites and we just refilled her prescription for test strips.
