Nice to finally get to meet you, too! I do love to show off our robots so it was a pleasure for me as well.

Hi, Mark! I'm new to this site, but I was poking around and I saw you are a Medical Social Worker -- just curious, what exactly do you do?

Definitely - she's already mentioned this to me and we're planning on getting you in to check out our robots here at NASA. Whether or not you guys make it down to Clear Lake, I would love to meet up and chat. I still feel like a moron when it comes to this diabetes thing.

wow--interesting story. I know your diagnosis is pretty recent. You'll get your A1C down. After 18 years of type 1, it's still never easy, but it does get better. BTW, love your smile! It's contagious!

Blood Work

I had a new A1C, an insulin antibody, and an islet cell autoimmune and antibody test done today. I will have the results of the A1C Monday and the others sometime next week. My Endo is puzzled because my GAD antibody was negative. I will keep you posted.
