Baby Tee replied to Katsz's discussion 'What is that convention you all talk about on Twitter? The one in California?'"I don't tweet, but I would guess it is also TCOYD, which is great.

Baby Tee replied to Dolores's discussion 'Whats the most annoying comment you've ever gotten about diabetes?'"At a TCOYD conference, one of the type 1 sessions "You are so thin for a diabetic".
I am 5'2" and weigh roughly 145 lbs. That is a BMI of around 27, which is technically overweight, so I am not skinny by any means."
