Hi, I'm Dave, type 2 old dude, kind of new to this site, noticing that there is a lack of paricipation, and I have a hard time seeing someone left to dangle when they have reached out for help. So I have been answering where I can. I doubt you and I will have much interaction as I am comfortable with having diabetes, and being a healthy diabetic is so much better than being an unhealthy non diabetic, as this is directly controlable by me and I get the feedback from my meter to to keep it controled. I'm glad to see someone here with the goal that you have, as I am unable to provide support to those who are having difficulty in coping. Please forgive the spelling errors, the spell check application is blocked here at work and I never could spell well. Welcome
Hi Kerri:
It's great to see you as a fellow contributor on DiabetesCentral! I look forward to your perspective and focus. I must say, my son's middle school friends ALL shoot us looks when I say "Are you high?" and when he responds "Yeah" the eyebrows do go up after I ask, "Well how high?"
The other times we get looks is when we are at a restaurant and I tell him to shoot himself. I can't take the credit for that one -- my mom says that to my dad, a long-time Type 2, on a regular basis.
Again, welcome :)!.
