Danny said… - Brunetta, Congratulations on getting hooked up to the CGM. It is always helpful to have a trainer that has Diabetes or has a close family member with Diabetes. I hope the CGM brings you many years of great blood sugars.
I would have responded to your discussion in the group, but I am not a member :(
Be well my friend! Hope you are having a great weekend!

Jan said… - The site isn't working so well. This is my third attempt to send you a message. Maybe this one will take. Rather than writing a long message now, I think I'll just see if this one goes through. Looking forward to comparing notes on our long journeys in diabetes. Jan

Lydia Martin said… - thank you so much! you asked me what inspired that painting-actually a friend of mine had taken a photograph of a similar subject and for some reason i just loved the concept. the painting depicts the release of walking away from something into the unknown but with confidence, not fear.
