Gingerbread House and Some Links.
Some links to share this December weekend:
- I contributed an article to the winter edition of JDRF's Countdown Magazine about having a happy holiday with diabetes. (Yes, it can be done. Bring on the glee and the ho-ho-ho's!) Featured in this article are Scott Johnson, Jessica Apple, Abby Bayer, Kim Vlasnik, Sara Knicks, and a badass recipe for chili.
- The Dario glucose meter, which is a smartphone-compatible glucose meter that works for both Android and iOS platforms, was featured on A Sweet Life last week.
- Karen at Bittersweet Diabetes marks 33 years with type 1 diabetes. (What's the gift for this particular anniversary? Larry Bird jersey?)
- There's a MedStartr project aiming to help bring patients to the Doctors 2.0 & You conference next June in Paris, France.
- The next generation Omnipod has been approved and will start shipping in March 2013. Details at Insulet.
- Our gingerbread house kit came with a handful of little creatures that could be placed in the winter wonderland scene. Or on the roof of the gingerbread house.
- And lastly, Fred Rogers is a voice of reason and compassion that I'm leaning on in this difficult times. Endless thoughts are with our friends in Connecticut. So much love to everyone.
Comments
Your Larry Bird jersey comment is cracking me up!

I always enjoyed Mr Rogers.
His words are such a strength during this crisis in Conn. Thanks for the video and site. I will refer it to my friends and family.
Take care.

In my house, that roof would definitely be gone after a low low

I consider myself so lucky to have been able to grow up with Mister Rogers. He and the lessons he taught are irreplaceable.

We used the same gingerbread kit! I have no idea what "the animal" is either... but my theory is that it's a pig. lol.

Just gave me a great idea. This year I will be 33. Can anyone say Larry Bird Birthday Party? So random yet so perfect, my friends will love it.
