Hello!

My name is Sabrina and I'm an intern at the Diabetes Hands foundation and
we're having our fundraiser in September but we need your help!
We're inviting you to write 2-3 sentence testimonials explaining why people should donate to Tudiabetes and Diabetes Hands Foundation
Be sure to include how our programs have affected you.
All you have to do is respond to this discussion.
If we use your testimonial in our fundraising campaign we will make sure to acknowledge you and send you a copy of our poetry book. We may ask you if we could record you reading your testimonial.

Please have your testimonials up by 4:00PM Pacific Time, Tuesday 19th.

(Sorry about the first discussion, my fault. Anybody that posted something, please post it again!)



Even though the deadline for testimonials are done, doesn't mean you can't post!

When I am severely depressed, and having trouble finding the strength to take care of myself, I know there are caring people here who will stand by me and hold my hand, and encourage me to do what I have to do. They will listen to me, and respond in ways that help break depression's hold on me, and keep me living for another day!
When you're scared, confused, and don't know what to do next, there are literally THOUSANDS of people here to help. I joined shortly after my son was Dx'd at 18 months and have learned incredible, practical pearls of wisdom from the people here. My son is healthier for it.
TuDiabetes, Estudiabetes and all the work done by the Diabetes Hands Foundation has a profound effect on how we can each stretch out a helping hand. The sense of community is strong and wonderful. All recently diagnosed patients, family, may I include new doctors should join – read- interact con the diversity of members that enrich TuDiabetes.
TuDiabetes is a brilliant beacon in the murky sea of misinformation about Diabetes mellitus. When I happened upon this place last summer, I'd had Type II for 12 years already and still didn't know enough to keep my blood sugars under control or my disease from advancing. I learned more here in my first few days of reading and posting than I'd managed to glean from the "medical professionals" in over a decade and I can now boast that I am managing my diabetes for the first time, thanks to the incredibly knowledgeable folks who spend time at this website.
A year ago I was just diagnosed, I was scared, angry and in many ways alone. Tudiabetes changed that. It has help not only educate me, but has strengthened me. I don't know how I could of made it with out Tudiabetes.
TuDiabetes has been a tremendous help in my diabetes management. I have found tremendous support here as well as a lot of information. Until I found TuDiabetes I never knew another person with LADA. Being an active member here has been a way to make diabetes a part of my life in positive way.
I don't agree, Alan. What we need here is everybody thinking the exact same thing at the exact same time. NOT!! :-)

I'm one of those people who really agrees with that "opposites attract" theory. I even married a fella who most would see as my polar opposite. We still agree on lots of important matters ... like how to solve the world's problems, whose family is the most idiotic, and who has the best beer - stuff that us married couples do all the time :-) but if we agreed on everything, then really - one of us would be redundant! Variety really is the Spice of Life and I too appreciate that everyone at tuD is so totally different from everyone else at tuD. I know I've been told many times that I'm really "different". That's good, isn't it?
