aaron f commented on Frankie Sloane's group 'Diabetics Who Attend Burning Man'
"I went a few years ago. I don't really recall diabetes being that big of an issue, but it can be a bit of a pain, more than usual anyway. :) I've been type 1 for 27 years. Might be a little more difficult if you're newer to it. Or…"

Greetings. I've been testing for 24 years now. I don't have any diabetic friends in real life so perhaps I can find some here? Feel free to drop me a line.

When I'm not pumping insulin I like to draw and listen to music. Just kidding, I'm never not pumping insulin.

hi Aaron, and a big Happy Birthday to you! I wish I was back in SF, we lived there for a few incredible years. I would go to the World Diabetes Day at the Ferry Bldg. I just met Manny out there this summer when we were visiting. It was wonderful to meet my hero! have a great day!

Good morning, Aaron. Was just passing through and thought I would stop in and say hi. I was in SF for the first time last year and it was nice but it rained the whole 4 days I was there. An ex co-worker of mine moved out there so I hope to get back and see it in a different way. Maybe you can give me some insider tips on good things to do there off the beaten path. Look forward to talking with you.

Just wanted to let you know I saw the Hallmark Heroes segment and you are on it, man. Looking sharp!
