Reality Woman is my name. Wonder Woman is my avatar.
I’m a nurse with a Masters of Science in Health Informatics and I blog about my TYPE I DIABETES to channel my energy into positivity. I am proactive, health conscious, and passionate about inspiring and helping people who live with diabetes. My goal is to create a meaningful platform for discussion to help motivate people living with diabetes to stay focused and on top of their game.
A most impressive achievement I will share with you is…I ran over 20 marathons and half-marathons during my 20s and 30s and yes, I carried my glucose meter and insulin with me along the way…I even qualified for and ran the Boston Marathon while in nursing school in 2004. I am very excited to merge the two skill sets from my nursing and informatics background for the purpose of helping people manage their health – – especially people who live with diabetes.
One quirky fact about me: I love dark chocolate (90% and above) with sea salt and, a hot cup of red refresh herbal tea – – a zesty blend of hibiscus, lemongrass, peppermint, orange peel and wild cherry bark…let the chocolate melt in my mouth…it’s one combo that doesn’t seem to affect my blood glucose!
