How I spent World Diabetes Day

Since World Diabetes Day fell on a Monday, it is not surprising that I spent most of the day on a tennis court. Monday is currently my busiest teaching day on the court: a total of seven hours. Hope everyone had a great World Diabetes Day. I, of course, was wearing blue to commemorate the day. Here is my Facebook status for the end of the day:

How did I spend World Diabetes Day?...On the tennis court my feet found the way...Hit lots of tennis balls...was at one point called an "invincible wall"...thanks to Frederick Banting and Charles Best for discovering insulin because otherwise I would be dead...And on that matter no more need be said...diabetes is not that bad...I still get up out of bed everday and of that I am glad...So stay strong... and to steal from a friend may India Arie's A Beuatiful Day be our song.

Blue Fridays

There is a very simple way to show your love and support for someone with diabetes, yes it is true...In the month of November on Fridays wear the color blue...Doesn't matter if they have type one or two...You can wear something old or something new...Just wear something blue.

T1 Day

T1 Day is here...Balanced blood sugar levels is what we try to steer...Have had T1 for nearly 30 years...Along the way there certainly have been some tears...But this life is a good quest...And for it there is still plenty of zest...So poke me with a needle if you must...I can still run like a wind gust.
