Joslin Diabetes Spider Web Log Project: Why 1 Started Blogging

It's calendar week iii of the Joslin Diabetes Blog Project to enhance coin for the Joslin High Hopes Fund.
This calendar week the topic is: Why did you get down blogging nigh diabetes as well as what are the best as well as worst parts of diabetes blogging.
Halle Berry is the argue I started Diabetesalicious. I was watching her interview on The Actor's Studio - You know the 1 where she tells James Lipton that she's weened herself of insulin through diet as well as practise as well as right away considers herself a type two PWD.
That interview actually infuraiated me - So much as well as then that I wrote my really kickoff weblog post as well as reached out to Halle's publicist's NYC & LA part to chat nigh it. And gauge what? She called me back!
Anyway, when I kickoff started blogging I had absolutely no thought what I was doing- And I nevertheless brand enough of mistakes - But Diabetes blogging has changed my life for the better.
Diabetes blogging has introduced me to the Diabetes On-line Community as well as I volition ever travel grateful for that.
The DOC has shown me that other people living the diabetes lives receive got the same diabetes issues, fears, exasperation's as well as twisted feel of sense of humor that I do.
The DOC showed me that I was non the solely 1 - And because of diabetes blogging I've developed a strong diabetes voice. And diabetes blogging helped me to uncovering my passion, my calling as well as my community - And I am a lucky duck indeed.
I shout out upwards the kickoff somebody from the DOC who left a comment on my weblog was Bernard, as well as he's the 1 who introduced me to all the other diabetes blogs - THANKS MY FRIEND.

Growing upwards I'd ever had issues alongside the agency the media perpetuated diabetes myths &stereotypes instead of facts as well as realities. Diabetes blogging continually helps me to bust diabetes myths as well as perpetuate diabetes realities acre spreading diabetes validation through sense of humor ownership & advocacy!

The solely "bad" matter nigh beingness a diabetes blogger is that I could receive got my figurer on 24X7, 365 days a twelvemonth as well as nevertheless never travel caught upwards alongside all that occurs inward the DOC.
Still - Not a terrible matter if you lot enquire me.

BOTTOM LINE: The Diabetes On-line Community non solely changes lives - I genuinely believe it saves them.... And that my friends is a wonderful thing.
