When it comes to technology, sometimes the journey is the point

December 15, 2022Theresa Flaherty, Managing Editor

I’m on information overload this week and it’s only Wednesday. And it’s technology information that I’m being inundated with. It’s exhausting.  Take work. We are switching to new laptops. This is a good thing. But in the lead up to the big switch, I had to start backing up my files differently (In the air! Somewhere!). Now, I’m not a Luddite, by any means, but some concepts are a tad bit harder for me to wrap my mind around. I have a perfectly serviceable...

Dispatches from the dining room: Flattening the (blood sugar) curve

April 20, 2020Theresa Flaherty, Managing Editor

Appropriate to my current WFH status, I also had my first ever telehealth appointment last week, with Sarah the CDE. It was simply a three-month check-in to see how I was doing with diabetes management, including what patterns have been cropping up in my blood sugar numbers, and where I could make changes to fine-tune things. On the plus side, I've been getting in more exercise because I force myself out for walks whenever the weather is agreeable (so, about half as often as I—or Sarah—would...

What's up with the diabetes? Funny you should ask.

September 24, 2018Theresa Flaherty, Managing Editor

As I was sitting down at my desk one recent morning my coworker, Cath, came to me and said, “Theresa, I guess I need to ask you about diabetes.” Being short on coffee and a bit long on self-centeredness, I blinked in confusion, thinking she meant MY diabetes. But, since I've worked with her for years and already demoed my new-ish Freestyle Libre to the office (and my mom, my friends and my doctor), this made no sense. She was actually trying to drum up the contact list for our November...

It's a diabetes thing

November 14, 2017Theresa Flaherty, Managing Editor

Last week, I mentioned to editor Liz that I needed to leave early for a dentist appointment. “It seems like you've been going to the dentist a lot,” she said. “Yep. I go four times a year now,” I replied. “Is that a diabetes thing?” she asked. As with so many things in my life, the answer is yes. I also last week had an appointment with one of the nurses at the diabetes center. I am lucky to be surrounded by health professionals that know their stuff. Today is...

Like taking candy from a baby. Or, carbohydrates from The Kid.

September 18, 2017Theresa Flaherty, Managing Editor

Last week, I was working diligently to wrap up my work on the October issue of HME News when I suddenly thought: low blood sugar. Indeed it was. Did I have any snacks or glucose tabs on me? No. Was there any leftover apple or orange juice left in the office fridge from whatever breakfast occasion we most recently had? No. So, I did what anyone in desperate times would do. I stole candy from a baby. Well, actually it was a granola bar and it was from Editor Liz's ride-home-from-work stash for her...

Outlier snacks, data and the tyranny of the blank (logbook) page

August 7, 2017Theresa Flaherty, Managing Editor

20170807_161428.jpg When it comes to data in healthcare, nothing does it like diabetes. Tracking the who/what/where and when of glucose readings, carbs, insulin doses and phases of the moon. In fact, I've spoken recently with companies like GlucoMe and CareCentrix about data and technology and how that's shifting healthcare. Data, they tell me, can provide immediate, real-time feedback that allows patients and health professionals make treatment decisions. So imagine my disappointment to...
