A Rockstar:
2.Is not complacent and does not live by the status-quo. Life is special, so do something special.
3.Does not say "I'll do it tomorrow". Every breath could be your last. Ask the 9/11 heroes, the Virginia Tech students, the lost miners. How do you want to go out?
Most of all, A Rockstar is someone who lives their life to the fullest, realizing we are not here for a long time... So we better make it a good time. This is the Diabetic Revolution. This is DiabeticRockstar.com
FREE Testing meters to any Rockstar that needs one. Whether yours has committed suicide, pricks like a prick...Or you just know someone that could use one. E-mail diabeticrockstar@gmail.com with the headline "I Want a Meter". Include your mailing address.

Real People. Real Questions. Real Answers.
Diabetic Rockstar is a social network dedicated to breaking down stereotypes and beliefs commonly associated with diabetics, anarchy against attitudes that both many Addicts and Abnormals have towards the condition. If you are looking for a "Poor Me, I am diabetic" support group, you've come to the wrong place. This Community is for those who wish to live the life the way it's meant to be lived, the true Rockstar way. This Community is for diabetics, and those affected by diabetes, who refuse to let it stop them from being... A Rockstar.
This network is operated by Diabetic Rockstar Inc., a public non-profit focusing on one simple thing: Fighting For Those Waiting For A Cure. The Fight IT! Campaign, a unique venture helping support uninsured, in-need and newly diagnosed diabetics, along with established Rockstar programs (IE Mentor Program) and our partnerships are all charitable objectives that Rockstar prides itself upon. Blending the Community with the Charity, together we can make a huge difference in the lives of many Rockstars who are fighting every day to make a difference in the world.
There is NO other diabetes social network on the web with our non-profit focus. Period.
You don't have to be diabetic to be a member of the Diabetic Rockstar Community. You might be here because you share the Rockstar philosophy. You might be here because you are looking for help, or to help someone else. No matter why, Welcome to The Revolution. Post blogs, join groups, start discussions, show the world a photo and a video: It's your community.
Make sure to check out our brand new YoungStars network for our "under-18" Rockstars.

An Introduction.
I am Leanne Griesemer.
I am on the Board here at DR.
I love this community and prior to Feburary of this year, spent many hours on here, chatting, welcoming people, and being involved in forum discussions.
In October 2008 I found out that I was pregnant with our first child and in Feburary that pregnancy got very complicated (SUPRISINGLY, not becasue of diabetes!) and remained that way all the way to the end, when I delivered 4 weeks early and spent the first… Continue
