Title
Six Until Me. - The story of Kerri, her insulin pump, and life with type 1 diabetes.
"Diabetes doesn't define me, but it helps explain me."
Description
I started Six Until Me in May of 2005 because I was tired of Googling "diabetes" and coming up with little more than a list of complications and frightening stories. Where were all the people who were living with this disease, like I have been since I was a little girl? Was I the only diabetic out there who felt alone?
Enter blogging. Back when I first started, I was one of four or five diabetes bloggers. Now I am a proud member of an enormous diabetes blogging community who prove every day that I'm not alone with this disease.
But there's more to me than diabetes.
I am a freelance writer, editor and co-founder of the now-retired EXIST Magazine, and a very proud member of the dLife editorial team. I don't sleep much and when I do, there's sometimes a little gray cat on my head. When I sleep, however, I don't wear socks. They make my feet feel trapped.
I am at the gym a lot. It's tough keeping up with my handsome fiance, but I do my best. Often, the treadmill is at a break-neck incline. It may be time for me to purchase a new pair of sneakers.
I've been known to trip over my own feet while standing still.
I'm making attempts to plan my wedding, but running off and eloping is still a viable option.
There are too many cats milling around, including Siah Sausage and Abby the Magic cat, whose abilities to respectively annoy and protect me are unparalleled. There's also Prussia the Cat, who sleeps in the director's chair. I pretend not to like them but I find them to be very entertaining.
I am a Red Sox fan and part of me still misses Nomah. I can't drive stick and it never bothered me until that guy showed up with the Ferrari and asked if I wanted to drive. I don't accurately retain song lyrics and have been called out about The Night Moose several times.
It's been said that I may be over-caffeinated. I chew a lot of gum, read a lot of books, and have trouble keeping my opinions to myself. I never mean to offend but I always mean what I say.
Sometimes Larry Bird calls me to talk about his day.
If you have something to say, email me. I'd love to hear from you.
