‘I now have arthritis. Is it because I am old? Or maybe just because I collect health conditions? Does it have anything to do with perimenopause? Is Mercury in retrograde? Whatever the reason, it sucks. And it hurts.

A new year and a new diagnosis. #diabetogenic

So, what’s new with you?

Is it too late to say Happy New Year? Probably, but does anyone actually believe that social norms still exist in the world the way it is these days? And so – happy New Year to you. I’ve been absen…

‘Since 2013, our diabetes community has measured love not by the roses we send, but rather by the ones we don’t. A single rose faded in a few days, but the impact of sparing one, and making a small donation can be life saving.’

Health literacy in the age of health misinformation

When the clock ticked over into 2025, I had no intention of even considering coming up with New Year’s resolutions that would shape my new year. But with all that is going on in the world, I’ve giv…

Diabetes-related stigma has repeatedly been mentioned as a challenge in diabetes care throughout this meeting. It doesn’t matter where in the world we are, #stigma negatively impacts diabetes outcomes.
