Find a Friend... Diabetes Blog Week

Today is the first day of Diabetes Blog Week 2012!

Diabetes Blog Week was the brain child of Karen over at Bittersweet! To get to know Karen or to find out more about D Blog Week, click HERE!

 Today's topic is "Find a Friend".  I'm supposed to introduce you to a diabetes blogger than you might not know.

Wow.  That is a HARD task! 

So, I'm taking the easy way out! I simply can not pick just ONE blog that I want to share with you! I have decided to go a different direction instead.

I want to introduce you to Pinterest!

Have you tried Pinterest??  If not, you MUST.  I am addicted to Pinterest.  I LOVE it! 

Now, you may be thinking that Pinterest does not have much to do with diabetes.  But that's where you would be wrong! 

There are a million different diabetes pins on Pinterest.  You can find recipes, management tools, advice, inspiration, humor, advocacy...  the list is endless!

Here are a few of my favorites!

 Awesome pic... we all know what leaves those marks.

 This is a chart and link to different types of insulin.
 Yup - totally understood!
 This linked to a list of carb counts for different kinds of fruit.

 Awesome video by Joann - to make me laugh when I need it.

  Really feeling this one right now...

This is my new favorite because it just really sums up how I am feeling about life right now!

To actually be able to see where these awesome pics lead.... you'll have to go to my Diabetes Board on Pinterest and click the pics.  To get there, click HERE.

So, go on over and check it out!  It's really easy!  You can ask for a invitation and you'll get one in your email  within a day.  Then you'll be pinning away before you know it!

  1. I am smart... I really am...

    But I definitely have to stop whatever conversation I am in while I am bolusing. I can count the carbs just fine while the person is talking, but for some reason I cannot answer questions and press pump buttons at the same time. I need that pin!

  3. Yeah, what Sara said. I dont think I have thought anything of it before now, but I think I space out. Kinda like talking to my husband while the TV's on.
