ALL PROCEEDS BENEFIT FIGHT IT!

If you are interested in organizing a fundraiser, please e-mail christopherthomas@diabeticrockstar.com

A 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.

Real People. Real Questions. Real Answers.

DiabeticRockstar.com is a website 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.

Diabetic Rockstar is also the host of the non-profit campaign Fight IT!, a unique charitable venture helping uninsured, in-need and newly diagnosed diabetics. Blending the Community with the Charity, we can make a huge difference in the lives of many Rockstars who are fighting every day to make a difference in the world.

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.

Spread the Word....For Free

Not sure if all Office Max's are doing this, or just out here, but they are giving away 250 business cards. If not, you can always find free ones online too. So Kody and I went an created some with Diabetic Rockstar.com/Insulin Addict on them. We then took to the ADA Expo and handed out as the opportunity arose. Jana keeps some in her purse, and has handed a few out at the pharmacy, our second home. If anyone would like me to send them a template to use, let me know. It's easy, cheap, and if you… Continue

Pumping is dangerous....I think its should be simply Diabetes is deadly!

Today was the first time I really had a moral dilemma about posting a link to a diabetes related story. I get a lot of different feeds that provide me with the research and news sections on the homepage of my website. I always post information. I feel that is one of the jobs of this site--to provide readers with the latest information regarding diabetes throughout the world. Today an article came out that will be posted in the Paediatrics Journal in the near future. It discusses the safety of in… Continue

Hmmm

Well decided to go ahead and post a quickie blog. Nothing too interesting going on. Just looking for a new job. I'm not longer at my other job which bothers me with the whole insurance thing. And no insurance means I cant afford insulin. I suppose I could try one of those canadian pharmacies. Anyways here's hoping i find something VERY VERY SOON. I'm tired of intervies, I just want to be hired already. I can only watch so much Spongebob. That's the only thing on, other than NOTHING. till next ti… Continue

My Starbucks Addiction

I've never written a blog here before, probably because I haven't really had anything to say. I still don't have anything meaningful to say, but figured I'd post one regardless. I am addicted to Starbucks. I didn't really realize how bad it was, until I injured myself for my overpriced, underquality, Starbucks drink. Across the street from my office there's a Starbucks where they have now memorized my name and drink...probably because I go between once and twice a day during the work week. (Tha… Continue
