Hey @SharisBerries thanks for no notice on my Valentine’s Day order delivery date change to TOMORROW (NOT Valentine’s)!

I appreciate the shipping refund, but doesn’t make up for the first missed year of delicious Berries delivery to my wife @theMollyWilbur!

A note to a newly diagnosed Type 1: You’re going to get a lot of frustrating advice or warnings from people who know nothing about the disease.
This article is FULL of great advice for newly diagnosed parents. What would you add? #livebeyond https://t.co/vQhAu1cBgL

Happy New Year!! Whats better to start the year than a new blog post and to get back to posting regularly! I’ve been kinda MIA recently with the blog posts and just on social media.

I give a little review of the Dexcom G6 system.

@BeyondType1 Just #more questions! Not just the standard “is there anything you need?”

Acquaintance: "you must've eaten a lot of candy as a kid"
My brain:
don't say it
don't say it
don't say it
don't say it

Me, launching into a 30min speech: "ACTUALLY, Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease & the causes of Type 2 are much more complicated than just sugar.."

@nancyquinn I did the same thing this morning! Getting better.

Insulin or pump issue? Hmmm...
