Some of us are going to meetup at the ADA diabetes expo in Boston March 14th. Can you make it? It'd be fun to see you again.

It is a pleasure knowing you.Best regards to your husband.

At 8:34am on October 14, 2008, Lynn said…: Hi Linda: Thanks for reaching out to me. This is all still quite new for me. I just know, that, after 2 years of diabetes, I want to become more connected with others who live with it. I also, would like to reach out and get active with different organizations and support groups. Now that another member, Kevin, wants to organize a get-together in my Chicago area, I really am excited about this whole network.

You have been living with diabetes for quite a long time. That alone, is a positive sign for me. I never thought I would end up with it. I did have gestational diabetes, however. Even still, I never thought it would happen to me. Funny, how we always think that everything happens to someone else. God has really given me this wake-up-call. I believe it is to help me change my lifestyle and that of my kids, so that their little bodies can have the advantages of healthy eating that I didn't receive while growing up. I may have some questions for you in the future, considering that I am T 1.5 and it seems that I may eventually become insulin dependent. I noticed that you are in the group for diabetics with eye problems. What sort of problems do you have. I have noticed that my eyesight has slowly gotten worse since I was diagnosed. My eye doctor says that everything looks "good", though. Have a great week!

At 3:31pm on October 2, 2008, Jason ROhde said…: Hi Linda! Sry for being so elusive as of late, been crazy busy. Hope to post some stories and pics soon, just need to find more than 5 minutes to myself to get it done. Hope to talk to you soon!

At 8:18pm on July 18, 2008, Robin Neel said…: Hey, I'm curious about the omnipod. I have looked it up and it seems to be big. Do you find it hard to hide it. I wear the minmed and I stick it where ever...it looks like a pager so nobody really notices it. I see lot's of people on this site that wear omnipod's. I remember seeing the guy from the Jonas Brothers on Ellen and he showed his omnipod and he had it on his upper arm. It just looked awkward to me. Just curious...you never now when I might change.

I really enjoyed talking with you at the meetup. Hope we can keep in touch. Have a healthy summer!

At 2:28pm on July 13, 2008, Mick said…: Wonderful to meet you too!!! We all had a great day. I would love to do this more than once a year. Mick

It was such a treat to meet you and your family at the meetup today. I've already created an event for July 11th of next year so it's on people's calendar.

But maybe we'll even have one before then. :-)
