I have totally enjoyed my time on this board. It has been informative, and, oh my, so much help to me. Your advice has had a great impact on my diabetic control and lifestyle, but I am leaving. There have lately been some nasty and hurtful comments and I am gone.
With a lot of experience (50 years) and when you are asking for our advice, please don't tell me to stay on subject... That really hurt. I have been diabetic since I was 9 years old, and understand children and that other children are uneducated of theD environment and can truly impact the child. Try as you might, a non diabetic parent can never truly understand. And when peers are not accepting, it is devastating, especially to a teen.
I am sorry, but the comment was inappropriate and hurtful, and I am gone.
I appreciate all the help I have received. Thanks, and I will miss you.

These types of things can happen easily online, sometimes the best thing to do is to ignore another's post. Others here have benefited from your knowledge and experience and will miss your input if you leave.
