New Member Today!

Thanks Julie

I saw about the Insulin Pumpers meeting, but I can't make it that morning. They're a great group of folks and I enjoy meeting them when I can make it. It's definitely worth the drive.

Hi Julie

Sorry to hear about the DKA. Do you mind telling us how you think this happened?

Good luck in the JDRF walk. My brother and sister in law just moved from East Greenwich to Maine. So I know EG, it's a nice part of the world.
