Greetings, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Kat.....
Best Wishes on your Special Day....and on the next 364 days!
How's it all going? Do you have any questions or comments?

Happy,Happy Birthday,Kat. I wish for you a most wonderful day. ENJOY!!!

Ich bin der offizielle Botschafter der Diabetes Hands Foundation für Deutschland. Aus aktuellem Anlass möchte ich auf das Projekt TuAnalyze hinweisen. Dort kann man seinen letzten HbA1c Wert eingeben und für eine wissenschaftliche Studie des Children's Hospital Boston freigeben. Wir benötigen nur noch 16 Mitglieder aus Deutschland, die Ihren HbA1c Wert dort eingeben. Ist diese Schwelle erreicht, so wird der Durchschnittswert aller deutschen Mitglieder auf der Weltkarte farblich dargestellt. Viele Grüße aus Münster, Holger.

Thanks for the info. I consider everything as well.

Best Wishes on your Special Day Kat! By the way...love your pastoral photo....so serene!

hi kat,

Happy birthday, Kat!!! Have a great day!

Stopping by to say "Hello" :)

I like to use PowerBar gel, mainly because it has electrolytes plus carbs (27g a little high for most folks). It's easy to take a little at a time when exercising though It also comes in different flavors.

the three little ones are my grandchildren. two of the older ones are my children. they work very hard at keeping me busy. i love it.

Have you read the poem "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer, a poet killed in Europe the latter part of WWI. I learned this poem in 7th grade and it always stuck with me.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF TREES ARE IN YOUR PICTURE? THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL.

Hi, thanks for the add. I agree, it does help to talk to others with diabetes about numbers and such. Did you take the photo on your page?

Hey Kat, thanks for adding me. I think you are my first "friend" who lives in Germany! :) Sounds like you've got a good endo over there.
Congrats again on your a1c & I hope you have a great weekend!

I asked my doctor a couple of times if he was sure, and he said yes! I am very happy. It is going to be strange getting used to the idea. I don't think I'll ever look at carbs again in the same way though!

Thanks for the blog comment. It took a couple of months for me to be ready to look at the information about complications. The basics of living were too overwhelming when I was diagnosed, so I put them on a back burner. Now, when I hear those kinds of stories, I think that I know a lot about diabetes, and could probably figure out why those things happened to the people. So I basically brush them off as being dramatic stories from people who don't know a lot about D.

hi! yeah, we have the same name! thanks for welcoming me here!

No, not really. I'm looking at groups for a specific mental health issue - and that's not diabetes! I signed up for my course before I was diagnosed. Also I would never study a group without permission.
