The Feed

When I was first looking to change my ways and make diabetes a priority in my life I found a podcast called Diabetic Feed.

Back in 2005 after receiving an A1C of 12.5 and winning a battle with DKA I decided I needed to try and find some other way to keep diabetes on my mind. I was a big fan of podcasts since I could easily listen to them on the way home from work each day on my iPod. I figured I would see what diabetes Podcasts I could find. When I searched, the only one at that time was Diabetic Feed.

The first few shows I listened too talked about topics like Neuropathy, new insulin pumps, new treatments, and even some diabetes blogs.

I am sure I had never read a blog before that time. I was not even sure what a blog was but when I heard that there were several diabetes blogs out on the web I knew I needed to check them out.

I read Kerri’s blog first and them some others and realized for the first time that I was not alone. That I could be apart of a community that understands one another and is willing to be there for each other.

That was when I started my blog, and the rest as they say is D-history.

So now I am happy to say that after a 4 year hiatus, Diabetic Feed is back! Episode 35 is available for download on their site or via iTunes. I hope you will check it out. Not only do you hear about diabetes in the news, research, products, and medicine, but you will also hear great interviews from people you know and some people you don’t. All apart of this big Diabetes web both online and off.

So follow them on Twitter, and check them out on Facebook. There are some great podcasts out there about diabetes but I would love for you to check out the one that is closest to my heart because in a lot of ways, it saved my life.

Thank you Christel and John.

Great blog, George! I tuned in to them many moons ago, but must have missed that one about D-Blogs back in 2005. Glad to see them return and will look foward to the podcasts each week!

I am excited! I've heard you talk about diabetic feed but I never had a chance to listen to it before! I was blown away. I am going to listen every week. Thank you for sharing Diabetic Feed with us.
