Welcome to my 2016 blog! Although this is my sixth year of blogging, I wanted to introduce myself to those of you who don’t know me (or need a reminder).
I am Jane. I am a nurse and diabetes educator, and I’ve had type 1 diabetes for 40 years. I started blogging in 2011, because I was working on a book and wanted to get my ideas out here. I published my book in 2013, and kept blogging. But lately I’ve been slacking on my blog. Sometimes I even feel like I’ve already written about everything there is to say about diabetes, but that can’t possibly be possible!
My favorite (blood glucose) number is 117, and I do not use an insulin pump (although I think they are great!).
The reason I blog is to share my message of hope for those with diabetes. I believe that with a positive approach, we can live well with diabetes and be happy. I believe in strength and choices, and I believe that the words we use to discuss and write about diabetes make a difference.
Thank you to those of you who have read and supported my blogging efforts over the past five years, and welcome to those of you who are new.
