Janice left a comment for Doris D"I grew up in Virginia, North Carolina and Texas, so the South will always have a very, very special place in my heart. Every time I hear a southern accent I get homesick. I'm in St. Louis now - kinda south but kinda not. It's actually the…"

Janice left a comment for Doris D"I KNOW! I had finished my "bucket list" by 30. It's kind of weird when you've done pretty much everything you think you absolutely had to do before kicking the bucket and yet still have time left. That's awesome for you . .…"

Janice left a comment for Doris D"You know, that whole thing with the doctors trying to scare us . . . . for me it backfired. I spent many years kind of aware of the "horrors" but then I was a teenager so I had other things occupying my mind. I had a retinal hemorrhage at…"

Janice left a comment for Doris D"Funny. I read in a book about diabetes (long ago) about someone who left their big old clunky glucometer in a bathroom by accident and someone thought it was a bomb - cordoned off the building, bomb squad and everything. And how crazy expensive they…"

Thank U soooo much for emailing it to other D's! We need to reach 20,00 (I think it is) by the 14th of NOV! U don't have to be a D to do it so tell ur friends to get their lovedones to do it too. If ur not a D it will ask that question 1st then it will change the questions to someone not D and they won't have to enter their # in it. I've ben gone for a few days and that's why I'm just now getting back to u. PLEASE remember the more the merrier on the BBT

I'm glad that u are taking part in the BBT. I don't see how others w/o insurance do it either. It's sad that ppl have to do without the medical supplies they need

U hit the nail on the head when it comes to the drs!!!! I'm kinda jaded too about them. I was 10 at D and now all I remember about thaty time was my mom used to make Mississippi Mud cake (or was it pie) and it was totally sweet and I LOVED it and couldn't have it anymore. I missed that
Hey why not join us in the BBT? Here's the link for it
www.bigbluetest.orgtest then exercise for 15 minutes then test again and enter it into the site
It's the biggest thing we do here at TuD and it will help others who have trouble getting insulin to get it I forget tyhe name of the insulin who will donate 100.000 to the cause if we get 20,00 hits b/f Nov 14 world Diabetes Day so join us if u can. I test once to twice a day just to enter it there. It cost nothing and it helps others with D I think that's great b/c at one time I was one of those who couldn't afford to buy my supplies and still have sometimes where I have trouble getting them Join us if u can

Yes and YES!!! I tried living life to it's fullest only to learn I'd live alot longer than I was told and it would be so nice for drs to get some of that training in there. U know is a looooong life and u will have this for that life so drs really need to be careful of what they say! My belife anyway.
Sorry it took so long for me to answer u back but I spend ALOT of time in our chat. It's at the bottom of the homepage come on over and join us when u can.
I am there most of the time during the day and up til around 9 at night. I go on and off there but I'm sure u'll be welcomed with wide arms. U could help advise some of the ppl who have just ben diagnosed and compare notes with others. And we all know that feeling after we're diagnosed or even 2 years later don't we? all the support u get is soooo much better

that sounds about right with that bomb squad at the time lol
I hope I can give off a positive vuibe b/c of what the drs say. OK to me they try to scare us into taking care of ourselves.(I was told i wouldn't live to be 30) and I DON"T want the younger ppl to hear that and belive it b/c I made some MAJOR mistakes in my teens beliving it. I want ppl to know they can live a long full live and get to be what I was a mom (was told I couldn't do that either) and now a g-mom of 4 soon to be 5
Thanks I'm very happy to have it
