Lloyd, know that you have our 100% support. Good luck in this new journey in your life to help spread the awareness and support of Diabetes. We need more people with the "gimp" to step forward to make a stand for compassion.

Thank you Kristin and Jeffrey. I uploaded photos of the newspaper article.

This is phenomenal news, Lloyd!!! We need hundreds... THOUSANDS of groups around the world to offer support to others with diabetes who are disconnected from the diabetes community.

Thanks, Manny

I try to help where I can.

Google!
There are some sites that list meetings in every state!

Lloyd, you might want to join www.meetup.com to promote your support group. They all sorts of templates (buiness cards, flyers, invitaion and etc) and resources for anyone wanting to start up a group or meeting in their city or town. I think this would be a great and wonderful resource for you.

Hey Lloyd - I did the same thing, as there wasn't a group in my town. My group is still tiny, but growing. Good luck for the future, I hope it goes from strength to strength.
