D-Blog Week: Diabetes Hero
Third Annual Diabetes Blog Week! A Diabetes Hero? I have so many – how can I pick just one?
Molly lives with type 1 diabetes. Molly is allergic to insulin. Need I say more?
Her last A1C was 5.9, thanks to her constant hard work, her constant positive attitude, and her incredible diabetes service dog, Dixie. She blogs at Dam Diabetes, and is on twitter at @mollyanddixie.
Molly might be one of the funniest people I know, second only (maybe) to G-Money. For example, the last time we got together, she was almost killed by a flying tractor tire and her only thought at the time was “great – there goes my blood sugar!”

Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in April of 1980, I recognize the incredible mental struggle of living with diabetes.

Do you think all of us writing about Molly and Dixie this week will convince her to write more on her blog?
Yes! (no pressure Molly…)
I need some Molly & Dixie time! It’s been too long…
Hero material, indeed! Thanks for sharing this, Scott!
We love Molly (& of course Dixie)!! Great hero to pick!!:)
Perfect. Molly is awesome. Her humor, heart, and head (she is a smart cookie) are all full of awesomesauce.
Plus she has the best CGM evah!
A really great blog so far; my mum was diagnosed with diabetes a few years back and it has certainly been a struggle for all of us. Today I wrote a post on my blog (manicthoughtsociety.com) on the injustice of deeming diabetics ‘insane’ in British law. Feel free to take a look. Geoff.
