"I dont live with type 1, type 1 lives with me" is a good motto! I'm in Chicago and we all ride kangaroos to work as they make it a lot easier to get through the traffic. I'm a little concerned about tomorrow as it's supposed to be snowy and they can slip and slide. Ha ha, just kidding!

7 hours is a long way away for the doc. Are they pretty available by phone, email or whatever?

Nice to meet you and welcome to Tu!

Yeah my doctors are wonderful being available anytime (day or night) via phone. there is a small hospital in the town i live near but the staff dont know enough about diabetes to help me! The Royal Flying Doctor Service have saved my life many a time by air lifting me to my medical team when i have been very sick! Thats amazing thats it's snowing there! I've never seen snow so it feels like a whole other world when i see photos etc. where i am from its mostly hot and dry but we have been having some rain in the last few days which has been wonderful since we have recently had bush fires!
I only stubbled upon this site by accident and im so glad i found it!

ooh, hot and dry, so far it's holding off w/ slushy rain blowing out of the south about 40 mph in front of the cold front. I'd like some hot and dry about now!! It's a great site. I have rattled around online since 2008 but have been very happy here and find out all sorts of interesting ideas, tricks, treats, etc.

Yea i'm not a big fan of the cold but we kind of get both extremes out here, very hot in summer and quite cold in winter! though not as cold as you guys would experience! What i've seen so far has been amazing! people writting about issues that i thought wasnt common! it's awesome to know that your not alone no matter where you are!

Hi Caity, welcome! I have communicated with one of your mates that also lives in Oz. We've been communicating for over 10 years, she too has T1, I'll let her know about you. In reference to where she lives I don't remember at the moment but I'll find out.

Attitude! That works! :) snow? Aw.... Both extremes here, up to 100f or down to -40, got lots of snow - I'll send u some more! Lowly Measly T2(no meds- just diet & exercise)

If I was living where I was before, homesteading in northern bc, nearest town or civilization - hours... Makes it interesting for medical care! One almost has to educate your clinic - I keep me doc on his toes all the time! :)

Hi, Welcome to the site. I love your positive energy. With an attitude like yours you have a very bright future. I grew up in Michigan, so I love snow. Now I live in Virginia on the east coast of the US, and we have had no snow to speak of this year, and it has been pretty warm. It is so nice to meet you! Thanks for introducing yourself. Lots
