I am, above all, a Christian. I am a very blessed wife, mom, daughter, sister, cousin; just like anyone else, trying to be many things to many people. I am an Army Mom, almost an empty nester, a crafter, teacher and all this, as a Type 1.5 LADA Diabetic and battling breast cancer. This is how I do it.
You will find several pages here:
The Just As I Am page will be this introductory page
It’s Just Me is just that. . . This will start at the beginning with my story of being diagnosed with diabetes, my type of diabetes and what that means, to what I learn each day. I’ve also shared my journey with breast cancer. Note: I pretty much say it like it is. So, if you’re squeemish, proceed with caution.
The final page will be about my faith. I suppose I’m putting that one last as I feel that it’s a little more personal. In importance, it should be the very first page you see. . just so you know.
I hope you’ll check back often, leave a comment so I know you were here and interact. Because after all. . you’re now part of my journey if you’ve joined me on this road, we should have a conversation, ya think?

Love it Barb. Love you. Mom
Love you lots and I hardly know you:) I DO love reading your blogs. They’re informative, but they’re also light-hearted and real. I will be out of town this weekend to hang out with my two girls and 4 grandgirls. Roger will be there, though. Hope the rest of your week is GREAT!
Oh, by the way, it’s Brenda Freed from church:)
Thanks Mama! Love you too! Check’s in the mail.
Thank you
You are wonderful and I hope you know that. I can’t believe all you have accomplished in spite of the health challenges. Very inspirational and I’m green with envy at the life you live and how you manage it so well. Thanks Barb. Take care.
Got your blog info from Kim at Texting My Pancreas. I was diagnosed 6 months ago with T1 at age 49, she felt we might have something in common. I came across the YCDTP videos and found out about the DOC, so I’m trying to get connected with as many people as possible, I am the first in my family to have diabetes so I don’t know anyone with it who can relate to what I’m going through.
