It is great that your community has recognized you - nel - for your voluntary work and your enthusiasm. In my opinion this is far more important than the award itself but I am still pressing my thumbs.

Thank you friends for your empowering comments. That darn Rogers Pass , Anthony during winter time !

An exciting day at the Conference , however the 2 am low BG ( 2.2 x18 ) and needing to change my nightie because it was soaked did put" a bit " of a damper on it for me .A low like that has not happened in a longggg time , rebound to 12 ( x 18), followed by a 15( x18 )BG ..lots of H2O and voiding ; finally at 6 pm ish about 4.5 ( x18 )with insulin on board,took one Dex ( hence the DEX4 in the picture). I got to share the podium with 5 other interesting nominees(3 categories ) The other lady in my category won the award ...unfortunately she had to be hospitalized just prior . A lady sitting at a table over shared , that she knows of a family with 3 kids in another community and 3 kids wearing an insulin pump . I can't imagine the stress they are going through 24/7/365 . And more awarenss raised for S.A.F.E. Society ( Shuswap Area Family Emergency Society)!!! The organizers did an awesome job...Hubby and I danced...BG's fine by now .
