AuthorHi, I’m Kara. I’ve been type 1 diabetic since 1986. I’ve been attending diabetes camp since 1987. I’ve been a camper, a counselor, a staff director and training director at diabetes camps for the last 30 years. I have a regular day job as a technology consultant, and even though I like my day job, diabetes is my true passion. My late maternal grandmother had diabetes, and died from complications related thereto. Both of my grandfathers have diabetes, and so do my dad and my uncle. My little brother is hyperinsulinemic, which means that his pancreas is already overproducing insulin to counteract his body's insulin resistance. I hate diabetes! But guess what. Diabetics aren't doomed. There is a way to have diabetes and still live a long and healthful life, but, at times, it can be hard as hell. Like, really, really, insanely hard. But I’ve finally figured out how to lower my blood sugars and keep my A1C at a reasonable level. And it's not easy, and sometimes I screw up, but my method is totally workable for anyone who wants to fix their blood sugar, including you. And I want to share what I’ve learned with you, so that you can be healthy and feel better, too. Archives
