Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year to all the people on this site who have been a great resource and help when I needed it and asked for it.

Well it's official now, I have been living 40 years with Type 1 diabetes. I was diagnosed on the Friday after Thanksgiving in 1967 at age 30. I will continue to do the things that I have learned that work after many years of practice to control my blood sugar to reduce the risk and prevent complications. My goals are to stay healthy, fit, and mobile so I can collect my 50 year pins from Lilly and the Joslin Clinic and also take the Cure when it comes.

How was your Thanksgiving? I hope you had an opportunity to spend the day with family, relatives, and/or good friends and enjoy a turkey dinner with all the trimmings.
How did you do with staying in control and keeping your blood sugar in a reasonable range. Anyone care to share their numbers for the day?

Hi Florian

I'm sending this note to all the TuDiabetes folks who live in Massachusetts. There's a pump group meeting in Woburn, MA this Saturday from 9:30 till noon. Someone from Dexcom will be giving a presentation on their technology. This is a friendly group and afterwards we're going nearby for a World Diabetes Day lunch.

You'll probably find some pumpers there with Apidra experience.

If you'd like to come let me know and I'll send you directions. I do hope you can make it. Even if you just want to turn up for the lunch that would be great.

It's working. I can see your photo. You are smiling, wearing a red shirt, etc. Are you not being able to see it?

I would like to post a photo but I'm having some difficulty so if anyone would care to give me some detailed instructions I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Thank you all for your warm welcome to the group. Is anyone using pump therapy with Apidra.? Does anyone do weight resistance training as exercise to stay in shape and add lean muscle mass? I could be the only one on this site who would actually like to gain some weight. I look forward to your advice, recommendations, suggestions and most of all support. Thanks.
