- Hi Amy! Yes, I agree... it's not denial, just a different way of looking at things. I'm really glad that you joined this community!!
I wonder who you saw on Oprah!!! I never knew that someone from TuDiabetes was on Oprah :)

- Hi Amy! I am also from TN and I'm glad you found us. There is a TN Diabetics group here on the site. We have already had one get together and I am hoping to have another when the weather warms back up. Also, there's an event I've posted that's taking place in Nashville that you might want to check out. It's a gathering for adult T1's. I will be there.
If there is anything I can do for you or if you have any questions at all, feel free to ask.
