Haven't been here long, but just wanted to say thank you to this site's creators and the community here at large. Such a wealth of information and support here. Learned so much in such a short period of time and its nice to have a community that actually seems to give a damn :)~
THANK YOU
Glad you found us Bacail! Welcome to the TuD family. Have fun browsing the site, and please feel free to ask any questions you may have. Stop into chat some time (we talk about food a LOT - diabetes is a secondary conversation).
We are stronger because you are here. The thanks goes to you for joining our happy band.

hey Bacail, thanks you! I've been here over 5 years now, and I'm very proud of our community. I came when I was having real rough patch in my diabetes, and everyone just seemed to put their arms around me, tell me it was going to be ok, and then proceed to give me REAL answers, and the encouragement to tell me, "yes you CAN do it, you might not want to do it, but we are here for you, when you need us, we got your back." I've learned so much too, and I've had type 1 45 years! (I've also learned a lot about other types of d). There are some completely amazing people here, like the 3 who've already responded to you here, and also the dedicated team of staff, admins, and volunteers. Don't even get me started on Manny Hernandez, our founder. He's my personal hero for creating this community.
marie and the others here have said it all WELCOME!!!!
the people on this site are great-they have saved my sanity more times than i can count in the last 17 months!
