The person who fixed the plate above doesn't seem to know diddly squat about making the right choices and PORTION CONTROL. We had a Support Group Meeting today and the Guest Speaker, a dietician and nutritionist, spoke about making Thanksgiving Di...

All good advice and suggestions below. Mine is to find a Pupmers Support Group in your part of the world and go to a few meetings. There is nothing like talking to people with diabetes who are actually pumping insulin. You can ask all your questio...

Hi Florian,
I won't be able to make the meeting on Saturday. Mike and I just bought a beautiful home in Bend, Oregon, and we need to get this place in shape and on the market. I have my work cut out for me! I don't really know when we will move, but surely within the next year and a half!

Florian, I see the meeting will be close to your d-anniversary. 42 years, good for you.

Florian, thanks for the heads up about the November 14 meeting in Woburn. I'll try to make this one, I like to hear what Dexcom's been up to.

Hi Florian-
I missed meeting you today. I drove up from CT and met Roberta, GuitarManDave, Bernard and a few others. Hopefully next time! The Expo was great and I did get some great information.

Hi Florian,
I had planned to meet the group at the Joslin booth at 2:00, so that's great! I will stop by and visit well before to chat. I am a patient of Dr. Wolpert, who, I see, is also involved in coordinating the conference. Looking forward to getting involved.

Hi Florian,
I would recommend starting a new topic in the Forum to talk about the proxy. It is a topic I haven't seen before and I am sure it would capture the interest (and contributions) of many members.

Take care,

I've been taking a flax seed oil capsule every day for about two years on the recommendation of my opthalmologist to reduce/prevent blepheritus (inflammation of eye lids and lashes). I had been having recurring bouts for a number of years. The flax seed oil seems to have eliminated that problem from my life. Nice fix. My wife and sister have had similar experiences.
