BDP 007 : Disasters, Health Lulls and Challenges




Blogging Diabetes Podcasts with Tony Rose show

Summary: Blogging Diabetes Podcast Session 7 <a href="http://bloggingdiabetes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/BDPLogo1501.jpg"></a>Run time: 32:48 Session 7 covers a few different areas that happened over the last week or at least came to my mind.  First, I take you through the events leading up to hurricane Irene hitting Maryland and my preparation.  Next, I talk about my challenges and cycles with weight gain/loss.  The next two topics are my trend between doctors visits (Endo) and my experience with Medtronic infusion sets.  Finally, I end with a listener question about resources for those new to diabetes. I hope you enjoy the session.  As long as you keep listening, I'm going to keep recording!  If I can help just one person and give them more than what I had upon being diagnosed, I'll be happy.  Let me know what you think or if there is anything you would like covered in an upcoming session. Holy September and goodbye summer... Have a great weekend!
