Hi there.
I'm Mike. Type one diabetic for 22 years since age 7. I'd like to share my story. It's a decent one, I promise.
No one in my immediate circle of family, friends, doctors, or colleagues know, much less understand, how people can just "get" Type One. You get sick, like extremely ill. Doctors do the tests, then they make the official diagnosis--that's usually how it goes, right?
In Memorial Day weekend, 1991, that's pretty much how it went. After going from…

- Hi Mike! And welcome, albeit belatedly!.....I couldn't resist your picture. At first I thought you were a speed skater taking a tight curve, and then I wondered if those are dance barres in the background. Either way, it's a powerful photo full of grace and energy!......I have close family in Santa Cruz and fly into San Jose airport 2 or 3 times per year. I've always loved that whole part of the country. The Bay area is one of my favorite large cities in the country!.....I hope this finds you well.....Judith in Portland
