diabetes: If your reading this blog, there's a good chance you know what diabetes is because you or some one close to you has diabetes. If you've stumbled upon this blog for some other reason other than diabetes then prepare to be schooled. Diabetes has many different types (type 1, Type 2, 1.5 , and gestational) under the same diabetes umbrella. Definitions of the various types of Diabetes can be found HERE.
zen A total state of focus that incorporates a total togetherness of body and mind. Zen is a way of being. It also is a state of mind. Zen involves dropping illusion and seeing things without distortion created by your own thoughts. Complete and absolute peace. Urban Dictionary definition.
diabetes moment of zen: Moments of peace and total in sync moments of mind, body, diabetes, and diabetes technology that occasionally occur in a life lived with diabetes. Copious amounts of used test strips, carb counting, and trial and error are usually involved in order for one to achieve a moment of Diabetes Zen. I say usually because sometimes it happens and we are pleasantly surprised. Not to be confused with The Daily Show's Moment of Zen, which is entirely different, always funny, but no less zen-ish~
