Our Annual Campaign is coming!

Would you consider helping by writing a short comment/testimonial about your
experiences at TuD? The main message for the campaign this year is that no
one with diabetes should ever feel alone. Messages from our community give
people a real-life, personal sense of how valuable TuDiabetes is to each of
us, how it's changed our lives, etc.

If you can, please include a photo of you doing something diabetic (if that
makes sense LOL). Please post to this group
(http://www.tudiabetes.org/group/why-i-participate-in-this-community), or
message to jrtpup on her page.

Thanks my friends!

Actually, the article in "O" is titled Dogs4Diabetics. It was in the April 2012 issue.

Mary - There is a blog today by Laura K from Sanofi- Aventis. She highlights an article in a recent "O" magazine. It is about service dogs for diabetics. It might be useful for you to check out the blog. Just click "Blogs" at the top of your page in the banner.

Thanks for the friendship add.

Hi Mary- Thanks for the friend add. Yours is something of a sad story. Thank heavens for your dog. A few of our members have detector dogs, perhaps they can help you. If you have any questions, just stop by my page. I am animal lover.

Hello! Thank you for having me as a friend Mary...
California...so far away, and yet right here! That's one of the appealing factors of tu.diabetes. I'm in Canada...in the southwestern part of the province of Ontario...a city named Kitchener-Waterloo (2 cities joined together). I'm a wife of 33 years, mom to two grown children, a grandma to 3 lovable little boys, a teacher, and before that an illustrator and graphic designer....I speak French and English, I read, history fascinates me, I paint, sing, walk, garden, ski, ride my bike....did I mention "read"? I love having friends over, I bake/cook, am an eclectic music lover, an animal lover...the ocean...ah the ocean...it speaks to me! Oh...and I have diabetes (and a few other things).
Keep in touch, ok?
Luv....linda
