The VIAL Project: Helping Lee Ann Thill

January 7, 2013 By Scott K. Johnson 2 Comments

Lee Ann Thill is one of my favorite people around. She is super smart and plugs into the emotional side of life with diabetes with experienced perception.  She's been wrestling with type 1 diabetes for a long time. She get's it.

She's already 18-months into her doctoral program … [Read more...] about The VIAL Project: Helping Lee Ann Thill

Glu Survey on Type 1 Diabetes & Emotions

October 23, 2012 By Scott K. Johnson 9 Comments

TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading.  Their … [Read more...] about TED: Ideas worth spreading – Type 1 Diabetes

Up the Tree and Bullies

June 5, 2009 By Scott K. Johnson 8 Comments

A couple quick "tidbits" today: 1) I recently read a post on Wendy's blog about a new blog that her mother is starting.  Wendy's mom is looking to connect with grandparents or other extended family of those living with diabetes and/or celiac.  It got me thinking.  Those of us living with diabetes, and parents of those living with diabetes have this place to connect.  But … [Read more...] about Up the Tree and Bullies
