Dino, this sounds like it'll be a fun trip. I hope the Triabetes and Insulindependence rock, show us some pics when you get back.

I've never known any other type 1 who felt this way. Thought I was the only one! I used to balk at the suggestion of camp, asking why I should be sent away to play with diabetic kids I didn't know just because we all shared the same disease. I wanted to spend the summer playing with my usual friends - not being made to feel different.

Now, I see what I have in TuD and what I must have missed as a non-camper. We should do a camp for grown-ups...complete with roasted marshmallows.

Have a great trip Dino - I'm so envious of you for going to theArizona Ironman. If you see Sebastien Sasseville from Quebec (my home provnice) - say hello to him from all his fans here!!! He climbed Mount Everest, and now he's doing the Ironman - whoo! whoo! If only I was 20 years younger - I'd be chasing him . Anyway, hope you take lots of pics and share them here for us - along with some great stories.
Hey Ketty, you are never too old to go to camp. Maybe we should think about having a camp for us "mature" diabetics. Sitting around the campfire at night, roasting spider weiners, marshmallows (trust me - with all the activity we'd be doing - we'd be able to roast a few of those and not make our BG's spike).

Well, Dino....all I can say is....you don't have to worry, you're such a supportive and understanding person, you'll be just fine! Your experiences are not random coincidences....the way I see it, there's a purpose for everything! So who's to know who will benefit from YOUR experiences eh?

Have fun at your diabetes "camp" Dino! It's never too late!

Ah no worries guys I'm totally over it...who has time to dwell on the past, right? I'm just anxious about this weekend which has me reminiscing about my younger days and thinking about how my life with diabetes has evolved so much.

Couldn't have done it without this community, I'm so grateful!
