god JT I know how you feel, sometimes I feel like I should just move into a gayborhood!

P.S. Feedback is absolutely welcome!

Hi All:

I am shamelessly promoting a new MeetUp group in the Denver area, and would really appreciate folks on this board visiting the site and -- better yet -- joining the page so that others are encouraged!

And, as soon as I can figure out how, I'll try to add the badge for TuD to the MeeUp page...

Thanks so much, and be well!

So Obama reiterates about the repeal of DADT... Does that mean those who were tossed get offered reinstatement with compensation?

Part of this may be attributed to being a bit older and more confident, but I just tell my doctor that I'm not going to bother dancing around the pronouns, that my boyfriend isn't real happy with some of the side-affects of the meds, and keep on going. They may (or may not) shift position or move back a bit. I use their body language to determine if they're closet homophobes or not. My current doc is cool about most everything. The ER doc I saw when I got stomach virus and couldn't keep Met. down physically moved back about a foot and a half within seconds of my telling him (even though I added that I'm HIV negative.) I didn't let on that I noticed it, but there's a mental note to not ever have that guy again, given a choice.

Got a BF, and don't hook up, so I don't have much dating coming out to talk about, but I've gotta think that when ya bring up the Big D, they're gonna be relieved that it's D and not A or H.

Anyone else experiencing sexual side affects from the treatment?

anyone had a random hookup and the guy thought you were positive because of your pump? People can be soooo funny, I just laughed it off!

Never mind...

Discussion started!

Just an observation: There was lots of discussion about Brittany Murphy's recent death -- apparently from complications of diabetes -- but not peep yet about Casey Johnson, heiress to the Johnson+Johnson empire, who may have died under similar circumstances. Maybe because she was an out lesbian?

i just had to share this with people. since i have no diabetic friends who can really relate to my stories. i finally came out to this guy i'm seeing. i told him that if my sugars are too high i would know and that if i'm showing mental slowness or displacement to ask me the day of the week. If i don't respond within 5 seconds then he should get me something sugary. he seemed comforted by that and the rest of the evening was splendid! it's been so long since i've dated someone on the same wave length as me and I hope things work out with him. he is so caring, giving and nice. can't wait to see him again! (of course he doesn't know that:))

Hey all, just read this NYT article and got sad/angry and then realized there was a forum I should send it to, even though it's been quiet lately! As if there weren't enough barriers for diabetics getting coverage... http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/09/health/09patient.html?_r=1&adxnnl=1&hpw=&adxnnlx=1241964211-feop8+sX8VoJ0jP9SmPmYA
