So glad you have joined us Cherie. This place has so much to offer. There are groups for people with like circumstances or interest. Blog posts where members convey their thoughts and experiences. And there are the forums where we come together for discussions.
I see that you are T2 taking shots. If you are insulin dependent you might want to visit this group
