CWD: Pictures Say 3,000 Words, Then I Say A Few.

It's late, but I had to load up some of the pictures from today. This is Jeff Hitchcock, the mind behind the CWD website and the founder of the conference.  This photo was from the First-Timers seminar, which helped people...

Landed.

It's been a long day of crappy airplane food and kids behind me on the plane repeatedly kicking my seat and hollering "Mickey MOUSE!!  Mickey MOUSE!!", but I've landed in OrLANDo (cannot resist a crappy pun, sorry) and have checked...

Blue Bird of Happiness.

We drive.  Friday night, after taking in the new Batman movie, we hopped in the car late at night and drove home to RI.  (Late-night driving means less sleep but also means less traffic, and we'll take the latter, thanks.) ...

Diabetes For The Day: Part Two.

A few weeks ago, I had a co-worker who wanted to experience diabetes for the day to help him better understand what life with diabetes can be like.  His experiment prompted another co-worker to want to give it a go. ...

Denied CGM Coverage.

My insurance company has denied my claim to have my CGM covered. So now we battle. I've written a letter to Oxford Health (posted on my blog) and am now waiting for Round Two of the appeal process. Diabetics and their caregivers deserve to have access to all available resources to manage their diabetes. Insurance companies should be able to put a price tag on my health, or on yours. I'm not going down without a fight, damnit.

Ode To Flickr.

There once was a service named Flickr,
Where my photos live - now here's the kicker:
It's easy to use
And quite fun to peruse,
I've yet to find anything slicker!

Check out my photo collection on Flickr, where I'm chronicling everything from my recent trip to Philadelphia to my proud participation in the… Continue

At 11:12am on June 21st, 2008, Andrea said…: Hi Kerri, more wedding photos please!!! You look beautiful and very happy. And your new husband is a cutie! It was nice to hear your stories about integrating diabetes into your wedding day. I had similar experiences at my wedding last April, including a pocket in my dress, (although no lows occurred, thank goodness) and just made it through my little brother's wedding with a new trick: securing the "thigh thing" under my SPANX!! Usually it slips down throughout the evening but the (Target-brand) spanx were the magic trick. Just thought I'd share...

Hope that you're enjoying married life :)

(BTW I am also "Cari" who you thought you recognized/met at the AADE conference last year- just couldn't for the life of me remember my password or even find my old page so I created another page, then found my old one- Lol!)

I visited your site "Six Until Me", and loved it.
