This place is the best. I have visited other sites and I have tried to establish conversation there, but nothing even comes close to what we share here. It is uniqe and we are truly blessed...Thanks to all for making it that way.
Debe Pendice replied October 8, 2008 3:37 PM Gabby you have been a good inspiration to me. I enjoy this site very much. I usually don't chat with anyone on line except my nieces. I have enjoyed everyone on this site. I have also tried other site with not much interest. So everyone of my friends here, Thank you. |

Gabby replied October 10, 2008 5:57 AM I vote we change your screen name Misery...why have a self fufilling name that is sad? Pick a happy one and see what happens.
Goddess replied October 10, 2008 6:18 AM I don't think I can change it. I have tried.
Gabby replied October 10, 2008 6:11 PM I was kind of joking, but if you have tried, maybe John can help you get it changed. I know other people have done it. Just don't change your pic at the same time or we won't know who you are. LOL
sparkysmom replied October 10, 2008 6:14 PM Yea we need to change that name Misery. We want to help make people feel better here. I spend a lot of time at home, call me if you need to talk.

When I fell on this site it was a blessing to me because I really needed someone to talk to about being a dieabetic the doctors tell you only what they think you need to know but not whay we want to know. So I feel that the only we can find out is from others just like us. So thank you all for you who are my friends. Penny |

I really enjoy reading everyone's advice, and events in their lives. So many ppl have brought up very useful topics that help out with all the questions there are about living with diabetes. I've learned that foot and skin care are a big problem for many, other than myself. I still don't have any close buddies here yet, but I hope to win some friends as I read along each day. The recipe section is fantastic.

I hope we can become friends too. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 13 years ago and currently take insulin twice a day. Recently I was diagnosed as having Crohns too. It is very hard for me to figure out what to eat since the diabetic diet and the crohns diet are so very different and sometimes incompatible. What you can eat on one diet you cant eat on the other. Also some meds used to treat crohns are not safe for people with diabetes. My doctor is sending me to U of M Hospital on the 13th for a consult since he's not sure wht to do next. I hope all is well with you
Goddess replied November 8, 2008 9:16 PM Your doc is doing what's best for you. You feel like your going in a million differenet directions and don't know what to do about it. You just did you wrote a post. Take care my new friend for life.

I found this site by going on yahoo and pullin g up everything I could on diabetes. I love it and I love all my friends, before this all I had was d-life. It was confusing, I can never get on their discussions. Read one article where one guy was angry because his A1C count was 5.9, what I would give to have an A1C like that. (lol) Read another article where the people on it talked about diet drinks and regular drinks and how they drink somewhere around 30 or more drinks a day and refuse to drink diet drinks. They will not give up there dr. pepper, and think it's okay to do this. I love this site because I don't know anything about diabetes except what I read on the internet, so I don't know what questions to ask my doctor, my dietician or my nurse. So I read your coments and learn from all of you. I love your coments they make me laugh sometimes, they are very informative, and I feel like I'm getting to know all of you closer and closer like you were my next door neighbor. Love all of you.
