Thankfully Jerry et al OK.  Hopefully they have found a way back home from Pakistan.
 
Welcome back home Jerry!  (I hope that applies)

Well, the weather just seems to have sunken into Karakoram winter:  frozen, icy ropes, cold temps....Check out the Free Dream Blog site for the latest posting.  See links on my last blog posting on this site.
 
They did great and now let's hope they can find a way out of Pakistan!
 
Nice job Jerry and thanks for entertaining us during your adventure.  Any new plans for a better bag to keep your insulin from freezing?  The Marco bag didn't cut it?  Do tell.
 
Ciao, dp

BIG D & the Crestones

Hi all -
Been a mountain-quiet summer for me.  BUT, I am planning a super short trip in a few weeks with DTB and will post a story with pics.  I've had the worst A1c in years, but mostly b/c I have had virtually no hypos.  Still using the CGMS and overall liking it.  Having problems with insulin absorption (many dead zones) and looking for new "real estate" all the time.  (change those infusion sets regularly!).  Been riding my road bike enough to be reasonably fit  and that's about it.
 

Nikki reflects on her 18 month ordeal after falling 70m in an ice gully on Snowdon .........

To those of you that missed this year’s MADiDEA event, I’ve got to say - you missed a good one. The aim of this recap is not to rub in all the climbing, biking, summits, lakes, waterfalls, expert medical information, product samples, great food and personal advice that we shared. Rather, it’s to make sure you don’t miss the next MADiDEA symposium!
 

  Join us for the 4th Mountains for Active Diabetics Conference! 
 

MADiDEA 2005 was a great success.
 
About thirty people from five different countries gathered September 23, 2005 in the geographic center of Colorado to inspire, motivate, and learn from one another. The key ingredients to success were outstanding attendees, speakers, and weather all mixed together in a spectacular mountain setting where we ran, biked, hiked, fished, scrambled, climbed, and shared our thoughts and ideas about life with diabetes.
