Celebrities sometimes use their power for good.  Like Kevin Kline.  His son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and Kevin has since been working with diabetes organizations to raise both awareness and funds for research towards a cure.  THAT is celebrity power used effectively.  His words, his efforts make a difference that is both poignant and tangible.  Read more >

Someone Else's Childhood

Recently, my husband and I went to a French restaurant to celebrate our marriage and our growing family. Since I was seven months pregnant, we didn’t crack open any bottles of wine during this dinner, but instead decided to indulge on a delicious fruit plate with chocolate fondue, which included white chocolate and hazelnut dipping sauces on the side. “What is this stuff?” I asked, easing my strawberry into the small dish of hazelnut spread.  Read more >

A few weeks ago, when I was gearing up to hear my A1C results, I admitted freely that the wedding stress of eight month ago really left it's mark on my numbers. And over that weekend, I received several emails from people that said, "Me, too! I have trouble lowering my A1C too, but every step towards my goal is a step in the right direction!" I also received emails just wishing me some luck on controlling these numbers.  Read more >

Six Until Me

Life with type 1 diabetes

About Me: 

I started Six Until Me. on May 4, 2005 because I was tired of Googling "diabetes" and coming up with little more than a list of complications. Where are all the people who are living with this condition? Since I couldn't find the resources I was looking for, I decided to create it myself. And my blogging addiction was born. Once one of the first few diabetes bloggers, I am now proudly one of several hundred, and the diabetes blogging community has really helped me achieve better health.

 

I'm married to a handsome screenwriter, proud owner of three foolish cats, and mother to the cutest little banana pancake baby ever.  I run a full-time healthcare/new media consulting business, and I'm so excited at what this year will bring for me and my growing family.  Thanks for reading!
