By the way Jessica Bernstein will be givng a talk in Palo Alto.

In a controversial talk, Psychologist Jessica Bernstein sparks debate about our current method of approaching diabetes care with the goal of controlling the condition. Dr. Bernstein, who has had type 1 diabetes since age one, will discuss two key questions:
• Is it possible to control diabetes?
• Is it healthy to approach diabetes care with the mindset of trying to control the condition?

This is so good. I plan on showing it to my family and doctor. Not that they don’t understand but it’s nice to see others in agreement. We are not “bad” because we struggle even when you overdose with fast acting rather than slow acting like I did recently. Mistakes happen. Hopefully, not often!

This is precisely why I would not rest until I found an Endocrinologist who has Type 1.
Nobody understood quite like she did when I came in, flustered and frustrated that she was out of my insurance network and my A1c wasn’t doing what I wanted it to.
We talked about what she would have been doing at my age, and figured out how to move forward, make improvements, eliminate some variables.
I’ll have to start working on feeling less “out of control”

Can I say it again, or am I starting to get annoying? I love you!
