Hi! I read your post about people not taking care of themeselves and you said you wanted to do something positive with all of your passion. What about starting a Diabetes Healthy restaurant which offers ice cream and such, but if someone w D orders it, they are going to get a mouthful of rudeness and a list of complications served with it?

If that restaurant was available to me, I'd go there every time I wanted something tasty to eat! Because it would force me to consider all the possible bad outcomes for every single fantastic bite of it! haha.

Keep trying. You'll crash and fall down, but it is definitely a roller coaster of a disease. Chronic- always always there, never giving up even when you want one second of freedom.

But, this community has definitely made me focus more on my T1D and I've really gotten myself under better control than before.

It's a good place with good people.

Good luck!

No worries Joe. I have posted commentary before that people have jumped all over me about. Just like everything in life, moderation is the key, go extreme in either direction expect to get a reaction as you saw on your most recent post.

In the end it was a good discussion even if peoples feather got ruffled.

Have a good day--Dave

Hey Joe...hope all is well my friend :)

Kids!! Aren't they suppost to do that??? I know my 20 year old and my 18 year old are still doing that to me!! HA! I'm glad to hear your working to get a big group together for the walk!! Good Job!!

Hey Joe,

How's life treating you today???

I agree! This is a great place and what we need :) Even when my friends and family are helpful and supportive, it's nice to know that there are others out there walking the same walk!
