Im really hoping I am not the only person who feels this way. All through school I absolutely hated "healthy class". My main reason for despising it was due to that movie "Supersize Me" . Its not so much the film I have an issue with....as much as…Continue

I figure that most of us here, and on other diabetes forums, have a good handle on things. Yes, sometimes we get thrown by something, but by and large we are doing a good job. We do what we are supposed to, we don't do what we're not supposed to and…Continue

Just because you are traveling to a place you live only means you are on the way home. The biggest part of you has stayed behind, only your body has left.
