I got diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes about 2 years ago. I just kind of accepted the fact for a while that I would have to take medicine everyday for the rest of my life. Then I changed my thinking and challenged this. I am now off my medication and workout and eat healthy every day of my life. A little more difficult than taking a pill, but down 30 lbs, more energy and very well worth the effort.
To Your Health!

Riva:
I just read your "reflections" story "To Pump or Not to Pump" in Diabetes Forecast. I then tried to find your e-mail address, and came across your wonderful website. What I wanted to let you know is that I was diagnosed the same year as you - 1972 - and am just a few years younger than you. (I have no complications; A1C's are always in the 6's.) I took injections for 35 years, then used the OmniPod for 1 year and then switched to the MiniMed Paradigm 522 with Real-Time CGM, which I have used for a little more than one year. I LOVE my CGM (I live alone, and it is so helpful at picking up my nighttime lows.) When a pump works (i.e., when your skin absorbs insulin from the pump well) you experience a form of Utopia! However, when an infusion site goes bad, your BG can rise precipitously. (Fortunately, the CGM catches those highs!) Anyway, the joy of "pumping" is that you can sit down to a meal without needing to find the nearest restroom to "shoot up!" Pumping isn't always perfect, but once you've experienced it you'll never want to go back to injections!

I am a reformed diabetes,for over five years I stay out of all medications and I have not caught a cold over five years.
I have to say I am a happy diabetes.

I really like your website. I am a teenager writing a paper about diabetes and, as I was researching, I saw this site and clicked on it. It really helps me look into someone else's life who is dealing with the trouble of diabetes. Thanks!
Nice to find a positive site about diabetes and living a full-rewarding life in spite of being blessed with such. I've been Type 2 for over ten years, follow my own diet plan that so far has my heart clear of plaque, and my A1c in the 5.5-5.8 range. My training as a nutritionist where I administered dietary programs in healthcare settings taught me the "official way" to feed diabetics, but my curiosity and need to know more lead me to the research journals where I saw that there may be more than one way to accomplish any certain goal.
It's nice to meet everyone.
Hello. My name is Steph, and I am working on behalf of Bayer Diabetes Care, trying to spread the word about an exciting new program with pop star Nick Jonas to fight juvenile diabetes.
Bayer is offering a sweepstakes that will allow four Grand Prize winners to meet Nick Jonas in Los Angeles and have the opportunity to be part of “Team Jonas” at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Walk for the Cure in Los Angeles on November 1. Sweepstakes winners will also receive a personal diabetes coach for one year. The sweepstakes runs through October 1.
For more information, or to enter the W.I.N.S. sweepstakes, please check out http://www.nickssimplewins.com/. Thanks!

Dawn, I was in the trial for Pelikan Sun lancing device by signing up to participate with them at the Children With Diabetes conference, where they were exhibiting. Often you may find opportunities at a big health fair. You can also look online for current trials looking for participants. riva
Hi Rita-I have had diabetes for 30 years. I was diagnosed when I was 6. I am wondering, how do you go about participating in the trials for all of these great new products. I have had my ups and downs over the years and am very fortunate to not suffer from any complications even though I have not always been in the best control. I find when I get burnt out trying something new helps and thought this would be a great thing to do.
Riva, I'm really enjoying your articles, especially the ones about low carbs. I'm a Type II and keep reading contradictory messages. Maybe you or your readers could tell me if they actually know anybody who does well (by which I mean "better") with the offical balanced meal, as opposed to low carb eating.
It would be so much easier to follow if I were convinced low is the way to go.

Brad, do you know about Children with Diabetes? It's an online community for parents of children with type 1 diabetes. riva
Hello, I am in the process of trying to find a person or group to chat-discuss the ongoing daily life struggle of having a young child with diabetes
Hi Riva,
I just wanted to let you know about the medical bracelets my company makes. They are lightweight, sylish, great for kids and adults and only $12. They are available at www.idonme.com I don't mean this to be a sales pitch, I just love them so much that I like to spread the word. If you would like a free sample, just let me know.
Best Wishes,
Marie Fishman
Aloha Riva,
Thank you for your article. I have dealt with a chronic disease for 20 years now and have also spent much time considering why "bad things happen to good people." My sister is a Diabetes Educator and I've learned much from her clients who attend our Health Getaways as well as from the Hawaiian Healers I have studied with that "The only thing we can control is how we react emotionally when things happen, e.g., look at them as a learning experience." And "There's always another way to achieve the desired result. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking." What about the new inhalable insulin, for example. Above all, I have studied the Huna philosophy that how we deal with stress is at the root of dis-ease and I have learned many mind-body healing techniques to relieve tension on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. They help me to keep going even when faced with treatment failures, pesticide poisoning, family and financial problems, and the constant demands of maintaining calm when faced with chronic illness. My Diabetes Educator sister, Ann Doherty, RN, CDE, has seen research proving the stress relationship to blood sugar imbalance and heart disease for instance, so I would be happy to share some of "The Art of Stress Management" techniques that will be taught at the Hawaii Health Getaway with anyone who emails me at diane@HawaiiHealthGetaway.com.
DEAR riva u give me hope for my son who is 8yrs old and was diaginosed with type 1 diabetes he has been a solider about it since he has found out and made me strong in the process but the thought of him having it breaks my heart so bad and his sugar has been droping he says his fingers r sore and i just was wondering about the device and when it comes aviable if you could let me know thank you god bless you 4 ur page
Dear Riva--
I just found your web site--very nice, kudos toward your efforts! I have a similar story and attitude to match. And, in fact, my wife's maiden name should have been Greenberg, but her father dropped the 'berg' years before and so she was only Green...! I was dx'ed in 1966 when I was 13 years old. I've spent most of my 41 years with diabetes as a happy, healthy, postitive, well adjusted and fully functioning human. I hang my successes on several causes, which I'd be more than happy to share with you. Too bad you never got to interview me--although I do not claim perfection in any area of my life, my journey has been a fascinating one, filled mostly with learning and joy, fulfillment and wholeness--and I see my diabetes as a large part of it all.
I also see you will be, coindicentally enough (or are there really coincidences...?), in my neck of the woods very shortly--I live just outside of Buffalo! I may try and make it to your talk, but have scheduling complications. In any case, it would be interesting to speak with you and compare notes, or even get together.
Michael
