The Romantic Toll of Diabetes

Those of us living with diabetes already know how much it impacts our lives.

Too many times each and every day we have to pause in what we're doing to make some allowance for diabetes. And this is just as true when we're being romantic with a loved one.

The Well blog on the New York Times site has a post today about a new book, Sex and Diabetes, that examines how diabetes affects our romantic lives and gives various strategies for dealing with it.

It sounds like it may be a worthwhile read.

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.
