ROCKSTAR

1.Lives life by their own rules, fighting back against stereotypes, misconceptions and harrassment. If no one ever stood up for what they believe in there would never be a revolution.

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

A Social Network. A Charity. The Diabetic Revolution.

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 amazing story(at least to me)

I just got off the phone with my dad, he was telling me about my 3rd cousin who had T1, his name is Byron. Byron passed away 2 yrs ago. He died of heart problems at the age of 70. He was diagnosed with T1 in 1947 at the age of 9 yrs old.The reason I had to share this with everyone is because I think that his story is amazing! In 1947 he had very little chance to live-he died of non-related T1 issues. He had an amazing life of travel and had an executive position most of his career. My point in a… Continue

I was wondering if anyone here is participating in the Solo trial period and how it is going. I was also wondering what your thoughts are on the Solo pump. I have the sample pump and was wondering about the real thing.
