I'm judithtoo, and I have to say, I have been so warmly welcomed by so many people, I feel like I've been looking for this community forever. I live in Maine, on the coast, and it is as beautiful as everyone says. The water, though, is dam-near freezing. I haven't gone swimming at home for decades! We are making our way into winter, expecting snow any day. I've been a T1 diabetic for 37 years, and got started when almost nothing was known about diabetes. Just in the last year, I've had a miraculous remission of depression, brought on, in part, by my blog. It's just a month old, and I'm still learning, but please feel free to check it out. http://www.diabeticredemption.com
Thanks for making me feel so much a part -- I look forward to spending some time, one of these days, to explore the site and read some pages. For now, please don't be annoyed if I don't answer all of your comments -- I'm devoting a ton of time to the blog, and I haven't been on one of these social sites before. Just know that I appreciate all of your kind words, and I hope to connect with a bunch of you soon. 8-)
Another Judith!!! YEAH!!!!!!! Welcome!!!! Anytime u want to just stop by my page if I'm not there I will be soon. Hope u enjoy it here!
Hi Judith -- so happy to hear about your remission of depression. You likely have a lot to offer to the community. Many of us here suffer from depression -- it so often accompanies diabetes. There is a group on line called "Diabetics with Depression." I bet what you have learned in conquering depression would be helpful to many there. I'm so happy you found TuDiabetes. I think you will find this to be a positive and informative community.
Thanks, Donna, for your kind words. I wish I could say I'd beaten Diabetes, but I know it's always hiding, waiting. I wrote about depression in my blog, in a post called Glass Half Empty, Glass Half Full. Depression was first on my list for so long, I thought everyone must feel that way. Thanks for the group name -- I will check them out.
Thanks -- I think I will!
