I attended, but I was late.

You can read Better Late Than Never over at my blog "My Son Has Diabetes".

Today was a great example of the power of a community effort!

We should all thank Kerri for being the driving force behind it.

Top Five Annoying Things People Say to Type 1 Diabetics

1. Should you be eating that?
2. I had an aunt who had that. She lost her fingers and toes, went blind and died. She was 33.
3. You must have ate too much sugar as a kid.
4. I could never inject myself.
5. Should you be eating that?

This day was simply a fantastic idea. (Thanks, Kerri!) I wrote about those of us that love a type 1 and Elizabeth wrote about how diagnosis as an adult has made her stronger. -David
