Trip

Guess what?
I'm going to be at the quilt for life in Washington DC! I'm super excited. I've always wanted to go, and now that I have a square in it(#601), I decided to make the trip. This trip was in limbo for a very long time, but it is finally happening! I'm going to meet up with Allison and some other bloggers for lunch on Monday. This is the first time I'll meet any other blogger. I'm excited (and nervous!). I'll be staying with a friend from the area. She's also diabetic. We met a long time ago at camp, and have been good friends ever since. We don't get to see each other often, so it will be awesome to see her again. This will be my first time traveling along, so I'm nervous about that, but I'm being dropped off by one friend and picked up by another.
I'll tell you all about it when I get home!

Totally unrelated to your post, but I'm an author who is working on a book where one of the minor characters will be a 13 yo boy with diabetes. I'm looking for someone who could give me advice about a scene or two. Would you be able to help? Email me at aprilhenrymysteries@yahoo.com - I don't check my gmail as much.

Thanks!
April

I had a post that I wanted to share with you. As a person living with type 1 diabetes, I think that this is a story that you'll appreciate. I am not sure if you are a football fan, but did you know that Jay Cutler has T1D?

You may be interested to know that researchers from the University of Alabama in Birmingham have made a very interesting discovery for diabetes. Now, it would take a while to explain this research here, but you can read an article about this UAB diabetes breakthrough here.
