Jan Chait
Jan Chait was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in January 1986. Since then, she has run the gamut of treatments, beginning with diet and exercise. She now uses an insulin pump to help treat her diabetes.
How Much of Too Much Isn’t Enough?
I coulda sworn three extra infusion sets would be enough for a change and an emergency over a four-day trip. I was wrong…
Deen Reveals Type 2 Diabetes: Criticism Abounds
There are 300 recipes for macaroni and cheese on the Food Network’s Web site. But people are only complaining about Paula Deen cooking starch- and fat-laden foods. Why? Unless you live in a cave, you probably heard last week that Deen was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes…
You’re Fired!
My Panama Canal cruise is paid for. Can I leave now? I relax as soon as I step — or, in my case, roll — onto a cruise ship. I sure could use that now: It’s been a bit frustrating lately…

Jan’s Stream-of-Consciousness Blog
I “met” (via phone) a fellow amputee a few days ago. It was a good conversation, as we traded war stories. Turns out we were both grateful to have our legs amputated: It ended 24/7 pain for him; it ended a spreading bone infection for me. We’ve both had the foot break on our prosthesis…
Hittin’ the Road With Flatt and Scruggs
Heaven help me, I just bought a Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs album. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but country music just isn’t my thing. So why did I buy it? Well, Dad likes country music and he likes banjos and it looks as if we’re finally going to head to South Carolina to see him. Weather permitting and all that stuff…
Stylin’ (and a Recipe to Boot)
Have you been to diabetes self-management education? Did you come out with your head spinning, wondering what language the educator was speaking? Were you frustrated that others seemed to understand that language?
Diabetes Has Its Ups and Downs
Oh, what to write about. I thought and thought about that, then remembered I’d jotted down some ideas a few weeks ago. After much searching, I found my list. It read: “DA help,” “Mystery w/pump,” and “Cali cooking.” At least, that’s what I think it said. It took me a while to decipher my penmanship. Darned if I know what any of those scribbles mean…
“But I Gotta Go NOW!”
It’s time to play another round of “Inaccessible Accessible Places.” But first…
