BDP 006 : Catastrophic Vacation Event and Epiphany




Blogging Diabetes Podcasts with Tony Rose show

Summary: Run time: 29:55<a href="http://bloggingdiabetes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/BDPLogo150.jpg"></a> Blogging Diabetes Podcast Session 6 This session covers a near catastrophic event that happened related to diabetes while I was on vacation at the beach in NJ, USA.  I go into details about what happened, how it could easily happen to you and what some possible solutions may be for the future. Also covered is a brief synopsis of Tuesday's earthquake on the East Coast, USA, where I was and what it felt like.   Finally, as a follow up to last week's post about a new insulin pump (Medtronic or Animas) I had a epiphany that is going to help me plan for 2012 to get better diabetes management.  I hope you enjoy the session and please let me know what you think!
