| Introduction | I blog at random intervals about the experience of having and coping with type 1 diabetes (dx October 2004) and using an insulin pump to treat it. For me this disease has changed not so much who I am, but how I view my body and how I view "health"--what it is, what it's worth, what we experience when we "lose" it. |
