20,000 members: what is your word for it?
We are on the verge of breaking the 20,000 member mark just passed 20,000 members on TuDiabetes! It's been a little over four years since we started on this beautiful journey... yet it seems like it was yesterday.
One of the most special moments in the history of the community was the Word In Your Hand project, which first took place in the second half od 2007.
A few weeks ago, we received a very special gift from Marie B, one of our admins, who put in a ton of time to creating the amazing Word In Your Hand quilt you see below (for those of you attending the Friends For Life conference in Florida next month, it will be exhibited there).
Today, as I look back, I wonder once more: what is your word? What word best describes what diabetes has meant to you? Or perhaps you'd rather share a word that describes what TuDiabetes has meant for you?

I was very honored to be asked to have my word put on the quilt. DETERMINED I am determined to deal with this disease the best that I can. Not to feel guilty or depressed, but to be determined to succeed in having a healthy life as best I can.
Tu- friendship and family I think of the people on this site as my second family. If I can do anything to help people or to support them when they are feeling low, then I am happy.

My word about my son's diabetes after two years would be "Challenge" a constant challenge to keep his blood glucose in range and his pump settings optimal. My word about TuDiabetes is "Hopeful" we are hopeful that with so many people facing the same challenges day to day there will be a cure soon!
