The management of diabetes is progressively evolving. The latest medical and technological advances-including ones involving the Internet-have begun providing the 18.2 million Americans affected by this disease with the kind of freedom few dreamed of not all that long ago.

Diabetes is a chronic condition in which the body doesn’t produce or properly use insulin, a hormone needed to convert glucose into energy. Since over time the high blood sugar levels associated with diabetes-the nation’s fifth-leading cause of death by disease-can lead to complications of the eyes, blood vessels, nerves, kidneys and other organs, anything that would ease the typical daily regimen of insulin injections and the like would be most welcome by patients.

According to experts at the Mayo Clinic, that “simplification” is exactly what’s happening. The Food & Drug Administration, for example, is in the process of approving both insulin patches and inhalants as alternative delivery methods to insulin injections. Breakthroughs in blood glucose monitoring that would allow continuous testing throughout the day are currently in development.

And then there’s the Internet. Unlike in the past, the latest advances, treatment and disease management recommendations are now available on the Web sites of the American Diabetes Association, the American Association of Diabetes Educators, and countless others. Beyond that, people with diabetes are being helped in managing their disease through the conve-nient online ordering of necessary diabetic supplies, pharmaceuticals and equipment.

Better Living Now manages all insurance claims and paperwork so patients don’t have to. And they will contact physicians for prescription renewal and fill necessary medical orders with up to 90-day supplies. Members also receive special discounts when ordering online and can contact the company’s pharmacy with questions about their medication.

A Web site now offers supplements needed to manage diabetes.

Every person with diabetes has his or her own unique story to tell, from the early symptoms to the official diagnosis and all of the challenges and successes along the way. Their stories often are marked by plenty of trial and error, ups and downs, and a long list of dos and don’ts.

To get a better sense of this journey and in observance of National Diabetes Awareness Month in November, we spoke with Carolyn Walsh, director of communications for the UAB Department of Medicine. She was diagnosed in 1997 with type 2 diabetes, which means that the body doesn’t respond properly to insulin, making it difficult to maintain stable blood glucose (sugar) levels.

If you too have diabetes or pre-diabetes, we hope that Walsh’s story inspires you to find a treatment plan that works best for you and modify your daily habits to become the healthiest person you can be.

Letter to My Illness

For all of those who know what it is like to manage an illness. The one thing I have learned through my illness is not to be ashamed of who you are. You did NOT choose to be sick, but you are sick, and you need to deal with it. There is a lot of pain, sadness, guilt, desperation, but we are strong enough to get through. You are the warriors. We are not different we are unique and know how to teach someone how to truly live. I wrote this "Letter to My Illness" for those who know illness firsthand. I hope you learn something

Well I don’t know what to call you. I could call you “Chronic Kidney Disease, CKD, ESRD, Renal Disease” but that’s just your first name. I’m still trying to find out what your last name is and how many middle names you have. My kidneys weren’t enough for you, so you’ve taken up residence in other parts of my body as well. You don’t have an official name yet.

But name or no name, the struggle is the same. You make every day a challenge, and you make being alive more complicated than it should be. I cannot sleep, I have RLS and I twitch all of the time, and so much more because of you, So I need to undergo a treatment called hemodialysis. Essentially, I have all my blood sucked from my body, sent through a filter, and all put back into my body in 3-4 short hours, lacking many necessary minerals my body needs to thrive. My bones are brittle, my joints ache, I have bad headaches, my skin itches and I am nauseated all the time. I take medications to help my body do the things it’s lost the ability to do on its own since you showed up.

There are so many things I hate about you. I hate that you make me doubt myself and doubt my instincts. I hate that nothing in my life can be spontaneous. I hate that I can’t just have fun without paying you for it. And I hate that no matter how hard I try, no matter how carefully I track you and no matter how conscientious I am, you still surprise me, exhaust me and leave me confused on a daily basis. Thanks to you I spend more time with my doctors than I do with my friends. And thanks to you I watch those friends move on without me and achieve the same goals I’ve had to set aside.

But thanks to you, I’ve made some new friends. I’ve met so many wonderful people. Doctors and nurses, yes, but also fellow patients and kindred spirits. I’ve learned that shared experiences can bring people together in a way that overcomes the geographical barriers keeping them apart. I’ve been lucky enough to find my tribe. They’ve given me unconditional support, and I’ve learned how to offer that support in return.

I kind of hate what you’ve done to my family. I hate the stress, the worry and the helplessness they feel. You haven’t just taken away my freedom; you’ve taken away some of theirs, too. But on the other hand, what you’ve done to my family is kind of beautiful. You’ve strengthened our connections, and you’ve given us a lot of opportunities to be there for each other when we’re most vulnerable, which is also when we’re most honest when the knots are tied the tightest. Throughout the past five years, I’ve never felt more discouraged, frustrated, tired, and lost, but I’ve also never felt more loved. I know that’s because of you. You’ve caused me a lot of hurt. I grieve my old, normal all the time. I grieve me who was always on the go.

My new normal is different. The new me is quieter but wiser. More tired but more patient. The new me is better at giving others the benefit of the doubt and has a better awareness of the fact that everyone is going through something. He’s slower to judge and quicker to empathize. He knows how to ask for help, and he keeps going no matter what. And you know what? I like him, too. I miss the old me, and that hurts, but I like the new me, and that heals.

So how can that be? It doesn’t make sense that you can hurt me and help me, that I can hate you and appreciate you. There are more challenges in my life now, but there is also more joy. You’ve taken a lot from me, but you’ve made me more grateful. How is that possible? It’s possible because of what you’ve shown me: that there are two sides to every story. There are triumphs in every hardship and success in every failure. There is good in everyone and everything, just as there is bad, too.

The thing is — I get to choose what I see. And if I look for the good, I know I will find it

You taught me that.

Hi everyone! Hope your day is going well :)

We are MTHealth, currently working on a research project investigating how people living with certain conditions feel about disease management with their respective providers. It would really mean a lot of us if you could fill out this 2-3 min survey for this:

PLEASE NOTE: All information collected is anonymous and protected.

Hey all, I'm trying to get perspectives from people who have had diabetic foot ulcers in the past. Anyone willing to discuss with me?

I'm Rocky and I'm a type 1 diabetic, I have been getting an excess of insulin (Basaglar and lantus) I have over a year's worth of extra insulin that's been in my fridge and we keep getting it. If anyone would like some for a debatable $$ them please message me. I would rather put them to good use instead of throwing hundreds of dollars worth of insulin in the garbage.

Hi there,

My name is Bella Vasoya and I am a fourth-year student in the Psy.D. program at Pacific University in Hillsboro Oregon. I am currently looking for Asian Indian individuals over the age of 18 who have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes to participate in a dissertation study exploring the effects of health messaging on the delivery of culturally appropriate food suggestions for patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the frequency and type of nutritional recommendations and information patients with type 2 diabetes receive from healthcare professionals. A secondary but important question is whether this information is based on the standard American diet or conveys cultural sensitivity and competence. A third goal for this project is to identify what type of health messaging would be effective as a general strategy for increasing cultural awareness and competency, and whether culturally tailored messages will increase patients’ willingness to make changes in diet and nutrition.

Participation will take place via an online survey (link provided below) and will take no longer than one hour to complete. Your participation will involve exposure to a health message and responding to questionnaires. All data related to your participation will be kept anonymous.

This study is under the direction of Dr. Jennifer Antick and has been approved by the Pacific University IRB.

Hello. My name is Carrie Muchow and I am a doctoral student at Columbia University. I am conducting a study on the relationship between health beliefs, sociocultural factors, and health behaviors among adults with Type II Diabetes.

This is something that is very near to my heart. I am hoping to recruit volunteers to complete my online survey, and I hope that my research can make an impact on improving diabetes-related models of treatment and reducing health disparities across domains of diabetes care and outcomes.

My study is comprised of an anonymous online self-report survey that takes approximately 30 - 45 minutes to complete. There are no foreseeable risks to study participation.

If you are interested please access my anonymous online survey at: https://tccolumbia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dbdnKaFsoj3sdut

This study has been approved by the Teachers College, Columbia University Institutional Review Board: Protocol #16-287.

You can contact the principal investigator at cam2190@tc.columbia.edu with additional questions.

Thank you. I greatly appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

Carrie
