My Diabetic Heart

Living with Congestive Heart Failure and Type 2 Diabetes

WELCOME TO My Diabetic Heart!

Diabetes and Congestive Heart Failure are two common conditions that people are diagnosed with every day. Living with one of these conditions at any age is hard enough; imagine living with both at the age of 26. That's what this blog is all about. It's about my life with Type 2 Diabetes and CHF, and about showing that you can live a fulfilling life with each.

What would you like to know?
Hot:

As most of you know by now, I’m an open book when it comes to talking about my life with type 2 diabetes and congestive heart failure.  I’m generally willing to talk about anything, because I believe there’s a chance that sharing what I know and live with may actually help someone else. And there’s always the benefit of being able to vent; that’s always a good thing.  As is bonding with my readers and the rest of the community.

With that being said, I’d like to open the floor (is there a floor in the blogosphere?) to questions from anyone reading my blog.  Do you have a question about type 2 diabetes or congestive heart failure, or some other question that you’re just chomping at the bit to ask me? You know, like general “get to know me” questions. This is your chance to get those questions answered.

Submit your questions to: mailbag@mydiabeticheart.com, or post a comment below.   I’ll read them, and post the answers to this blog.

So don’t be shy.  What would you like to know?  I look forward to hearing from you.

New Opportunities
Hot:

During the year and a half since I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I’ve often said that I see that diagnosis as a blessing in disguise.  If it weren’t for my going to the doctor for diabetes related problems, the congestive heart failure wouldn’t have been found, and I probably wouldn’t be writing this post.  The fact that I am here is a blessing in and of itself, but there have been so many more.

My diagnosis lead me to the diabetic online community, and the awesome people, blogs, and other websites that make up the community.  And it lead to the creation of this blog, which has allowed me to share my story with people from all over the country, and even around the world.  This blog, and my interactions with others in the community, have lead to another opportunity, too.

Some of you may have seen my tweet last night that I had just submitted my first post for Blogabetes, and some inquired as to what that was all about.  Well, a while back, I was contacted by dLife and was extended an invitation to join their team of bloggers. I accepted, of course.  And now that the paperwork and setup is out of the way, I’m at the starting point of this new opportunity, and as excited as can be.

Now, don’t worry, My Diabetic Heart isn’t going anywhere;  I’m going to be blogging in both places.  I’m thankful to have been blessed with another opportunity, and to know that I’m definitely in someones good graces.
