Kimball commented on Christel's blog post 'The Letter I Wish I Could Give Her (My 30th Diaversary Letter to Myself)'"Dear Christel. Thank you so very much.

Everyone here is supportive and will provide answers to your questions. Search the site for answers. Read the discussions and blogs for information. There are videos to help you understand diabetes and its treatment. Most of all there is family to talk to and vent to, if needed.
