Crohn's Disease & Diabetes

Articles and posts about diabetes (Type 1, Type 2, and Insulin dependant Type 2) and Crohn's Disease. As a chronic illness warrior with both diseases, life can be an interesting battle to find my "normal".

The blog posts in this section will explore a variety of topics from treatment, education, my frustrations with chronic illness and disease, and positive notes.

I would love to hear your thoughts about any or all of our articles.
