It’s hard to try to define yourself in concise terms. I’ll settle with the following key words for now until a more creative description wanders into my head (assuming one ever does).

• Hokie Alum
• Gaming Addict
• Network Engineer
• Type 1 Diabetic

And thus, you can guess the topics of conversation I tend to gravitate to. Chances are most of the stuff here will fall into one of those four categories. And while these phrases aren’t necessarily in order of importance, it should get you started down the rabbit hole.

As the title of this blog suggests, Diabetes is a big focus in my life and as a result, this blog. But that is not my entire story, there is more to me than this disease and I will frequently go “off the reservation” and write about whatever is on my mind. Sometimes that’s video games, sometimes that’s family, sometimes it’s just a rant about whatever might be bothering me at the moment.

If you’d like a more in depth story regarding my Diabetes, I’ve written up an Origin Story for you, my eager-reader.

And a quick Disclaimer:

I am not a doctor. I’m hardly the world’s most responsible patient. The experiences described in this blog regarding medicine and medical treatment are specific to me and me alone. If you have any questions regarding details or treatment of Diabetes or any other medical condition, talk to a professional.

Oh. And if you came here looking for actual consequences or symptoms of hypoglycemia, I’ll refer you to the American Diabetes Association on that one.
