Bye Felicia *Updated

November 29, 2015March 18, 2016 / Tara / Leave a comment

*Post has been updated due to absurd threats made against me by an admin of this support group for libel and defamation. It is important to note that libel is the making of a false statement about someone and defamation is the making of a false statement with the intent to harm another's reputation - … Continue reading Bye Felicia *Updated

What I Did While I Was Gone

November 25, 2015 / Tara / Leave a comment

Did a whole bunch of writing. I began one morning feeling royally peeved over that drama and wrote another post about it. Inspired by NaNoWriMo (look it up, people), I did some writing for my “novel.” I also pm’d another admin for the group respectfully asking that my daughter’s photo be removed from their videos … Continue reading What I Did While I Was Gone

A Few of My Favorite Blogs

November 24, 2015 / Tara / 2 Comments

Today I'm sharing the top four bloggers I currently stalk. Well, I don’t really stalk them, because that’s just too time consuming and plus they all live ridiculously far away from me. Especially Texas – which is really, really big so I’d be driving for like, weeks just to find her town, and even then she … Continue reading A Few of My Favorite Blogs

Reading CoffeeMate

November 23, 2015March 18, 2016 / Tara / Leave a comment

Todd has many talents (some I cannot share) and this morning he read my fortune.  You’ve heard of people reading tea leaves? Well, prepare to be impressed….this guy can read CoffeeMate.I poured this white powdery non-dairy creamer into my empty coffee mug and asked him if he could “read” it, and tell me how my … Continue reading Reading CoffeeMate

When I’ve Had Enough

November 16, 2015 / Tara / 4 Comments

Many of you who know me personally know I am passionate about Type 1 diabetes. The last 2 years have seen me more motivated than ever to take a stand and advocate – to make changes – to do something. I wanted to participate in the legislation that encouraged medical personnel to screen for, and … Continue reading When I’ve Had Enough

Yes, She CAN Have That

November 13, 2015 / Tara / Leave a comment

Last weekend was Halloween. Like all the other holidays at school, there is always a party or some sort of acknowledgment which often includes the passing around of goody bags by some overachievingwell-meaning mom kid. Ava came home from school on Friday upset about something. Someone handed out goody bags for Halloween and said, “this … Continue reading Yes, She CAN Have That

Not Your Grandma’s Diabetes

November 7, 2015 / Tara / Leave a comment

This is an umbrella title – not meant to offend, but to make the point that Type 1 diabetes is NOTType 2 diabetes. In the early days of Ava’s diabetes, many people I talked to would say, oh! My granddad has that. Or, my whole family has diabetes. (Yes, she really said that.) Others asked … Continue reading Not Your Grandma’s Diabetes

I Want You To Know, But I Don’t – A Guest Post about Type 1

November 4, 2015 / Tara / 1 Comment

I  planned to post about signs and DKA today, but I read this post on a closed FB group for parents of T1 children, and it brought tears to my eyes. I don't often cry over T1 diabetes, because I have to be strong - for me and for my daughter. It was so beautifully … Continue reading I Want You To Know, But I Don’t – A Guest Post about Type 1

Welcome to Diabetes 101

November 3, 2015March 18, 2016 / Tara / 6 Comments

Most people do not understand that not all diabetes is the same. Most people make assumptionsabout diabetes – especially Type Onediabetes – based on their limited knowledge of Type 2 diabetes. First of all, there have always been 3 types of diabetes. In recent years, a 4th type– known as Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults … Continue reading Welcome to Diabetes 101
