I met diabetes 18 years ago and we became friends. As true friends sometimes we have fights but the most of the time we get along.

Happy Thanksgiving!

To everyone everywhere, whether in the US or elsewhere in the world, let me take just a moment to say "Happy Thanksgiving!" in the hope you can have the opportunity to be with family and share the blessings of good food and good fellowship with those you love.
