My Article in the "Diabetes Forecast"

The ADA magazine, “Diabetes Forecast”, is celebrating its 6o’th anniversary with the Oct. issue this year. They have an article on several diabetics who have had diabetes for more than 60 years and are doing well. I am one of the diabetics in the article. On page 60 of the issue is a picture of me and my write-up is just above my pic. I feel like a baby because the other diabetics in the article are all older and have had diabetes longer than me. Some have had diabetes for mor that 80 years. WOW!! I have a long ways to go folks and I am going to do it too. Here is the online write-up but not including the pics.

Wow Richard, I think that is really cool. I look forward to when my Forecast comes in. Now I have to go read your article. Thank you for being an inspiration to us all.

Thanks landleigh, I think my link is working now. I wonder why it is so difficult to post links???

Thanks so much for posting this Richard, I’ve saved it into my favourites on my computer because I think it’s very inspiring to read about you and all the wonderful people who have been fit and fighting for such a long time, and I think it’ll get me through many tough times to be able to re-read it when I need to. :slight_smile: Thank you and congratulations!!
