Hi, I'm Kathy. I also go by Minnesota Nice over on the OC.
I have had diabetes for 34 years and not always taken good care of myself. Things have gotten better, though, and in spite of some complications, I consider myself to be in reasonable health. I also feel that it's never too late for improved control.
I deal with disordered eating issues daily.
I began blogging on the OC about 2 years ago and it has been immensely helpful - sharing victories, defeats and plain ordinary living with other pwd's has been a gift.
So far, I've enjoyed Tu Diabetes and love just stopping by for a second to comment on a discussion.
Things have changed a lot since '74. Each day I am thankful for the advances that have made my life better, and look forward for many more improvements to come.
Stop over and visit my blog at www.kathy4762.blogspot.com .

Had db 28 years + or - a year. I'm not thrilled with the idea of having it attached to me 24 x7 I'll probably wait until the technology gets better.
take care,
Dave

Yes, in fact just finished a new one titled "Life is Fragile".
I see you use shots rather than the pump. Any particular reason?
I too use shots.
