I've seen posts on other groups about Trader Joe's. The nearest one is almost 60 miles from me and I've never been to it or any other one. Does anyone know how the stores are set up - do they have a "diabetics" section or is the whole store considered diabetic-friendly?

Hi there new fellow diabetics! I am 50 today and have been T1 for 27 years. I know this is scary, frustrating and more but you've made a great choice by getting plugged in with others who know what your lives are like. Make yourself a promise, ok? Test often and regularly; make it as natural in your life as breathing. Testing makes you aware, accountable to yourself;that awareness keeps you in optimum control. Not perfect, just as good as you can be. Us veterans want you to be healthy. Have an awesome week, Virgil

I was diagnosed in February with Type 2, I'm on Metformin with diet and exercise. I'm doing OK with the morning BG numbers, losing some weight and feeling good most days, so far. I'm glad I found this site and I'm trying to learn as much as I can about this syndrome we all share.

Hi, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes somewhere in the middle of March this year. Since my dad is the only one with a job at the moment, and as of yet I have no insurance, diabetes supplies have been really expensive. I've had to live off of free insulin sample pens for the last month. The doctors are really nice about it, so I guess I've been lucky in this regard. I applied for Medicaid, so I should be getting it soon, but I was wondering, will the insurance cover all my supplies? I'm curious to know how much cheaper it will be to get my Novolog and Lantus pens.

Hi - I found out I am diabetic about a month ago. I have posted a random blog about my questions about Metformin - thanks!
