I’m the loud and relentless "patient" voice and advocate they warned you about. I happen to have type 1 diabetes, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid issues, asthma, allergies, lactose intolerance (and more), but there’s more to story.

What’s the Difference Between Regular Soda and Cake?

December 19, 2014January 16, 2017 / mindybartleson / 3 Comments

Today has been one of those Diabetes days. The new medical company I am working with messed up and had no communication so I was left in limbo until I called and got it straightened out. I would like to gladly mention that I didn't have to ask but they are "over-nighting" my supplies to … Continue reading What’s the Difference Between Regular Soda and Cake?

October 27, 2014August 22, 2018 / mindybartleson / 17 Comments

I look back on my first experience with diabetes burnout a year after I experienced it.

It’s just data.

October 6, 2014January 16, 2017 / mindybartleson / 2 Comments

I have elaborated on a few of these. Enjoy. I'm more than a number. a1c, blood sugar readings, blood tests don't tell the whole story.

Plans change? What lead me here- (Part 1 of 2)

September 28, 2014January 16, 2017 / mindybartleson / 2 Comments

  Plans change right? Things happen and you need to adjust? That's part of life, right? That's not typically how I "roll." Basically I have planned out my future for as long as I can remember, and besides right now- I have only switched once, at least for major plans. I don't remember exactly how … Continue reading Plans change? What lead me here- (Part 1 of 2)

Wait. Where did August Go??

September 5, 2014January 16, 2017 / mindybartleson / Leave a comment

I'm a little in disbelief right now. How is it already September 5? How did I just complete my 3rd week of classes, and better yet survive? How am I already into my senior of college with the real world right around the corner? I find myself asking is this real life? Spoiler- I will … Continue reading Wait. Where did August Go??
