How about a diabetes conference aimed at grownups?

You've probably noticed that there quite a few conferences about diabetes. But most of those are aimed at anyone with diabetes (mostly Type 2) or for children or parents of children with Type 1 diabetes.

Well those children grow up to be adults. I'm one of them. And there aren't any conference choices for those who left childhood far behind and who still have Type 1 diabetes. We're the minority within a minority.

Until now.

A small number of us are working to organize a conference for adults with Type 1. And we'd like your help. Head over to Allison's blog and learn some of the details. Then go and complete the survey for us. And thanks

The Diabetes Technology Blog is focused on using technology to life better with diabetes. I review: blood glucose monitors; continuous glucose monitor; blood sugar meters; diabetes software and living with diabetes.

I was born in Ireland and now live in the US. I have had Type 1 diabetes for over 35 years. I struggle with my blood sugar, the same as most people with diabetes. I wear a Cozmo 1800 insulin pump and a Dexcom SEVEN CGM to track my blood glucose levels. I also take Symlin to help control my post-meal blood sugars. I'm blessed by God, and every day brings the possibility of a cure.
