Linda G said… - Thanks for the reply Kirk! 54 years with diabetes. You were but a little squirt when diagnosed. Do you remember life B.D.? (Before Diabetes)
You're doing great...you're A1c is a work of art, and judging by your profile pic, you are very active. Looking forward to hiking with your great grand kids :)
