It depends what you want to achieve with your blog. Are you looking to chart your experiences, or educate people? It may well be that it's a bit of both. Also, who are your target audience? Think about whether you are tailoring things to other diabetics, or to non diabetics, where more explanation may be needed. For instance, if you wrote 'Went for my HBA1C today. Hoping for 6.5 or lower', that would be fine for other diabetics. However, you might as well be speaking Martian to many non diabetics.
Next you need to decide how much time you are going to dedicate this, and how brave you want to be. You could post every blood sugar result you get, what you are happy/unhappy with and how you will move forwards. You may not be comfortable with this, so you might just post about unusual results.
The bottom line is, you can post pretty much anything you want, but try and think about who you are trying to reach, and tailor it to fit that audience.

I am thinking of doing a little of all the above target audience age range not sure and I am brave enough to do much anything and about 15 mins to start with till I get going

Sounds good, I'm sure by reading your blog many type's will be able to relate to what you write anyway, type 1 diabetes does have it's up's & down's and can try the patience of a saint.

There's some good video's on Youtube, this one is particularly funny and highlights quite well what type 1's have to put up with:

You could try to think of things that haven't been done like :
different view points of say parents of diabetics ,non diabetics ,family ,friends ect.
Future of diabetes and how far it's come (the first insulin pump is interesting, it's like a back pack!)
Good luck

Do. Lots of us have difficulties that come up with significant others and family .. and good to see it their way too. For instance my husband temporarily despairs of ever having a conversation with me again he says. But that's because I've just got my Libre. Others see it differently from us.
