What it means to come home
I haven’t been home in a while. My life on the road is a series of suitcase bumps up and down escalators and relentless packing and unpacking. Six years ago things were different. I had a home, a son in high school, a marriage, a stable income and my pancreas was still producing insulin. I can remember swimming laps in my pool and thinking, … Read More What it means to come home

Real honest to goodness truth
It’s hump day and I am full to the brim, feeling like there’s so much more to share in the DOC then I could ever imagine. Today is Diabetes Blog Week Wednesday and the theme is language and the words we use. There is an old saying that states “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”. I’m willing … Read More Real honest to goodness truth

Yoga, meditation and ketones
I don’t know about you but I spend quite a lot of time playing around on social media looking for ways to spruce up my meals. It’s not easy keeping things simple and nutritious. I found Hannah on Instagram and discovered she’s a passionate yogi just like me who also follows a ketogenic diet. We connected off Instagram and I asked her to share her … Read More Yoga, meditation and ketones

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
If you could give yourself the perfect gift what would it be? I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the spirit of giving. Every year around this time I think about what I can give to others. I love heading online or into a store and picking out little things to give to friends and family. While browsing I also check out things that … Read More It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

It’s been a huge month
This month I made it my business to step up and share in as many ways as possible why I feel more people should know about Diabetes. The more we can advocate, the more likely others will come onboard and help raise much needed funds in all sorts of arenas

I believe I can fly
It’’s all very well and good for me to rave on about Yoga and how it keeps me calm in the face of a crisis. But ten minutes ago ? Kinda hypocritical. Maybe I could get away with two handfuls of almonds WRONG okay another two handfuls of almonds Wrong again! What about a quick grind of some chia, mixed with hemp and sesame … Read More I believe I can fly

Seeking Balance
When I first started Insulin I wondered if there were any other yogis out there like me who’d been diagnosed with Adult Type 1 Diabetes . It didn’t take me long to find Melitta Rorty. Melitta is a true advocate for LADA (Latent Autoimmune Disease in Adults or Type 1.5) I find Melitta’s blogs and articles refreshing and grounded because she breaks open the difficult topic … Read More Seeking Balance

Stop, Drop and BREATHE
Breath. We can’t live without it. So why is it that we forget the most essential ingredient in keeping every single part of the body working properly? I think it’s the very fact that we take breath for granted that’s actually the problem. It’s only when we’re out of breath that we notice the breath. Like when you have a cold or an allergy … Read More Stop, Drop and BREATHE

Acceptance
A Guest Blog from Therapist, Yogi and Type 1 Diabetic, Michelle Sorensen I recently attended a conference on mindfulness meditation and how to incorporate it into cognitive behavioural therapy. The room was full of mental health professionals like myself, looking to integrate these skills into their practice. Many openly spoke of their desire to learn the skills for personal use as well. One health psychologist … Read More Acceptance
