Greetings All!

Greetings Everyone, My Name is Allen Cash. I am originally from Savannah Georgia but I spent most of my adult life in Atlanta Ga. I moved to Pensacola FL, to be with my partner Dale Cash in 2004. After 10 years together we were married in Pikesville MD April 16^th 2014. We are still living Pensacola for the moment. 2014 has been a tough year for us both. Between losing our Mastiff “Bear” to bone cancer, Dale diagnosed with osteoarthritis and me diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2 and dealing with all the little neat things one has to deal with in everyday life…. It’s been insane! However, we have endured 3 hurricanes, and I think 3 crazy tropical storms and all the wonderful mess and damage they left behind and yet… we are still standing. For me Diabetes is a life changing disease that is not only confusing but it has the potential to destroy one’s emotional stability. The constant stress of dealing with the corporate mindset of the medical industry and the constant battle between what Medicines they are willing to pay for and what they are not is absolutely madding! This Blog is meant to help me vent and hopefully inspire and inform those of you who are dealing with the same issues. I should tell you that I am not a professional writer nor will I pretend to be one. I tend to write how I speak and I do swear a great deal so if that is something you might get offended by… keep moving because I don’t edit myself for NO ONE! If the thought of two men living as a couple offends you… again KEEP MOVING! I encourage everyone to think outside the political and religious box. Diabetes does not care what we believe and what we don’t. It does not care if you are gay or straight. So with that I say we should set aside pointless yapping and talk about what we can do to help each other to live longer and more happy lives. I should also warn you I tend to check out and not keep up with blogs as much as I should. I will do my best to post something at least once a week. Please feel free to comment and express yourself on how you are feeling. This Blog is for Type 1 and type 2 and anything else in between. We are all in this together and we have each other to support as much as we can in this kind of situation.

Best wishes… Allen Cash.
