D Weblog 24-Hour Interval = A Crafty Diabetes Community & Diabetesaliciousness Turns 4!



to laid about my blog. I’d heard virtually this affair called “A Blog,” as well as or personal journal, simply I didn’t actually intend I had anything to say. I had no stance that such a affair every bit The Diabetes On-Line Community existed, permit solitary was filled amongst as well as then many amazing as well as wonderful people.

I blogged because I needed a identify to limited my feelings virtually living a diabetes life; my frustration amongst Diabetes Media Muck-ups & as well as all types of things that I didn’t fifty-fifty realize until recently.

At first, I didn’t intend anyone read my blog, (except for friends as well as family,) simply I kept blogging as well as presently I establish out that the DOC existed.


Then, on Dec 19th, 2007 I received my foremost non-friend/family comment from Bernard as well as I was ecstatic!


Soon, I was having conversations via electronic mail as well as comments from an amazing grouping of folks, that understood Diabetes World, because they lived inward it to.


My diabetes vocalisation (which had never been a serenity ane offline) was at in ane trial becoming a loud ane on-line.

I made mistakes, I've grown upwardly up as well as gotten wiser, as well as I boot the bucket on blogging.


My spider web log policy from the commencement was simple. Keep it real, ever boot the bucket on it honest, as well as never essay to survive anyone I’m not.

To paraphrase Eleanor Roosevelt, I’d rather survive a foremost charge per unit of measurement version of Kelly Kunik than a minute charge per unit of measurement version of anyone else.


The foremost fellow member of the DOC I met inward existent life was Hannah From Dorkabetic inward March of 2008 as well as my worlds collided inward a fantastical way!


Soon, I was coming together others as well as I have got to say, it was pretty amazing coming together my DOC identify unit of measurement inward the flesh!


Over the years, I’ve grown to rely on the DOC for as well as then many things.

Things like; understanding, knowledge, laughter, comfort as well as pretty much everything else inward between.


Like most inward the Diabetes On-Line Community, I part the good, the bad, as well as the diabetesaliciousness of it all. Including all the adept inward my life, as well as those life events that have got rocked my globe as well as tested my strength. Those events, for the most purpose as well as ironically, haven’t been diabetes related.

But without the Diabetes On-Line Community, I don’t know if I would have got made it.

I hateful physically, yep I wasn’t going anywhere - Like Beyonce, I’m a survivor. But emotionally, knowing that my amazing community was at that topographic point for me during to a greater extent than or less of life’s MAJOR curveballs, made it as well as then much easier to grab as well as bargain amongst those curveballs.


Blogging virtually Diabetes as well as beingness a citizen of The Diabetes On-line Community has changed my life for the amend as well as given me my passion; my community, my voice, a amend agreement of my diabetes as well as other types of diabetes that exist, a career, as well as most important.... it’s given me beloved friends “for life.” .

Many of these friends for life I have got even as well as then to run into fact to face, simply love as well as experience incredibly protective of them none the less.


So if I haven’t said it lately, I love y'all all & I’m incredibly grateful to survive purpose of your world!!


Below is my endeavour at an On-Line combat mass page - It's non fancy as well as it's far from complete, simply I regard it a move inward progress as well as a precious keepsake none the less!
