Lindsay replied to Mikey's discussion 'Changing needles on your pen.' in the group Insulin Pen Users"> How often do you change the needle on your pens?

Richard157 said… - Hi Mike, I am so pleased that we got the chance to meet you at the MOA! We enjoyed the meet-up very much.. All the people were very nice. Do you think that being diabetics makes us nice? Lol! We enjoyed your sense of humor. A sense of humor has helped me so much all these years. I have been reading the "Purple Haze", and I really like it. Kathy is a special lady!

Amy said… - Hey Mike:
We can try this place for the next meet-up, if you think it would work out for most people. You can decide. Either way is fine for me...I can drive to Brooklyn Center too, it's not a problem. Were you going to try moving the date to the 1st Wednesday of the month, to see if more people would show up?
