I'm a supporter getting the stories of people with diabetes out there for public consumption. Awareness and advocacy are the name of the game, for me. We aren't perfect, we don't have all the answers, but we do know what...Kerri Morrone Sparling

- Kerri,
Thanks for accepting my invite, I really look forward to chating with you. I have something that I'm trying to develop and I want to see if your interested. I've read some of your information and went on your website. I think the information you provide maybe good for what I'm trying to build. It's not a site about diabetes as this is, its about culinary..and I think some of the discussions on food and diabetic diet would be great. If we can discuss further it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Cheers,
Allen

Spooky said… - Thanks for the comment about my pug. He is my other baby. You know, I was diagnosed only a few weeks after you ( Oct 5, 1986) the same year and I grew up in Cape Cod- same basic neck of the woods. I am headed back there in a few weeks and can't wait.

Andreina Davila said… - Hi Kerri,
I was stopping by to say hello, and also let you know how much I admire you for being so brave and open, talking (or writing) about "sometimes hard to understand for others" topic in such a gracious way as you do.
I have tried (to write about thing that are hard for me) many times, and I can't just get out of my comfort zone, so, odes to you my friend. I know thing will work out for your family, in one way or another. You never know...In any way, you do so much for educating all of us about how cool it is to be open and strong while being touched by diabetes.

Danny said… - Kerri, I stumbled across your "Kitty vlog/blog"...please, I beg you to watch this youtube video, it is only 3:15 minutes long and it was the first thing that popped into my head as I read/watched your blog/vlog. Let me know what you think. I had a tear roll down my check as I watched this clip, again.;)
