Hi, I'm Kathy. I also go by Minnesota Nice over on the OC.
I have had diabetes for 35 years and not always taken good care of myself. Things have gotten better, though, and in spite of some complications, I consider myself to be in reasonable health. I also feel that it's never too late for improved control.
I deal with disordered eating issues daily.
I began blogging on the OC about 2 years ago and it has been immensely helpful - sharing victories, defeats and plain ordinary living with other pwd's has been a gift.
So far, I've enjoyed Tu Diabetes and love just stopping by for a second to comment on a discussion.
Things have changed a lot since '74. Each day I am thankful for the advances that have made my life better, and look forward for many more improvements to come.

- Was wondering what the heck that video was when I first saw it!! But the first threee seconds I knew exactly what it was!! What a fun video!! Thanks!! Not sure if Tower of Pwer were a regional thing.. They played alot in the area when I was a kid.. Not like I ever saw them back then but they would always play part of this song on one of the rock stations when doing the concert scene for the weekend.. Bump-de-bump-de-bump!!
