Love Bites (or When Sisters Talk)



On the way to school this morning, my youngest daughter was chatty and excited to tell me how much fun she had over the weekend with her big sister.


"I wish we were sisters.  I mean, sisters that are one year apart.  No.  I mean twins.  Yes, I wish we were twins." 


And then, I could be with her all of the time."



To which I replied, "I love that you love your sister so much."


A long pause and then, she said, "When you are gone, I will take care of her and check her blood sugar and she will check mine.  Because I think we are twins in our pancreas.  We are diabetes twins."

Uni-Solve (or Me Solve The Sticky Pricetag Problem!)



Did you know that UNI-SOLVE can actually solve a household problem?


Besides being one of the best Barbie Band-Aid, IV3000 sticky tape, Animas Ping infusion site and Dexcom site adhesive removers in the world,


Oversized thumb not included


This little wipe can also remove these sticky, icky things.

From things like toys, mirrors, frames, glasses, dishes and presents without having to say words-that-make-you-want-to-wash-your-mouth-out-with soap.




Having a UNI-SOLVE wipe on hand makes more time to spend on naturally sweet people like these.






Which is perhaps one of those important silver-lining moments to savor in a world full of type 1 diabetes.

Because certainly, without type 1 diabetes in our lives, we would never know the power of a UNI-SOLVE.

Instead, we would just be doing a whole of this.
