Hello, I am new to this Site but not new to being a T1. 32 years I have been living with Diabetes and many of its problems and complications. For about 30 of those years I never took Ownership of it. I never took Responsibility for my own care and well being. Just did what very little I knew how to do.

Stemwinder said… Hi ,
You may have noticed TuD hanging around the site. It's his 6th birthday this month, and his big international family of people with diabetes is growing. Our 6th birthday fundraising campaign is on! Every dollar you donate allows TuDiabetes to reach 6 people touched by diabetes, giving them the opportunity to not be alone!
Please consider making a donation, as well as asking your friends and family to give what they can. TuD's birthday party will keep getting more guests as we raise more donations (see top of the home page). Let's help keep our family thriving and growing! Please share this message. Thanks!
