Hello to all,
Thanks for all the warm wishes. I am Type 2 and have been since 1997. My Dad was a diabetic for as long as I could remember. I am the oldest of 8 children. There are only 5 of us still alive. My Mother is still alive and will be 73 years old in June. I am married to a great guy and we have 1 daughter and 2 of the most beautiful granddaughters. We also have 2 dachshunds, both male and as rotten as the grandchildren. Once again thank you for the wonderful welcome to this community.
