We’ve now welcomed in a new year and our Diabetes Online Community (DOC) has had plenty to say during this first month of 2021. Here are some of the excellent posts that caught our eye in January. It was very cool seeing Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the first-ever Latina to serve on the nation’s highest court, swearing in the new Vice President Kamala Harris… and knowing that Sotomayor is also one of our own in the Diabetes Community, as she’s lived with type 1 diabetes (T1D) since childhood. OK, so we have a new White House administration, but life with diabetes still requires diligence. Thanks for Shaw Strothers over on Instagram for reminding us of that.
“It was really hard,” Buckman recalls. And while she’s personally experienced advances in her own diabetes care over time, particularly with her switch to a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), the enormity of the change didn’t hit her until the unthinkable happened: her infant daughter, Ella, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and later, her toddler son, Jack. However, the silver lining was noticeable from the start. Advances in care, especially those in technology, have made Ella and Jack’s life with diabetes more carefree and even more “normal” than hers. Buckman and her children aren’t alone in this experience. Many people with diabetes in today’s world are living a much different life than they would have in the not-so-distant past.
