Great Doris! My 39th won't be 'til next March, but we are still on the same wavelength.
And I also think you have the right to brag about the fact that you are a dear sweet lady and a most valued friend to many here on TD.
We love you!!!!

Thanks Kathy!!! Be sure to brag urself! U deserve too!

Congratulations Doris!!

Congrats! I was diagnosed in 1974, so it's been 38 years for me. I was only 3 years old, and I don't know my exact diagnosis date.

For those with 25+ years of diabetes, did you receive any acknowledgment of the milestone? I know some people do, but not sure through who. At 50 years, you'll get a plaque and a gift of some kind.

Keep on bragging kiddo ...no reason not to !

Thanks Guys!

No Chris I didn't didn't ask for 1 but I know there out there

Yes U will Phil u knko I can'tleave u alone! LOL!

Nope Nel not gonna quit now!

Not going to wait a year to congratulate you -- today is important! Congratulations!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! yOU have every reason to brag.

At Chris, I just received my "certificate of achievement" from the Joslin Diabetes Center for 25 years of "living courageously with diabetes". You have to apply for it and provide some documentation of your date of diagnosis and start of insulin use. It was signed by the president and CEO of the Joslin but it was done by a computer which kind of pisses me off, but I digress, for your 50 year milestone they give you a medal and a free trip to Boston to be studied. There are a few medalists here, Richard is one, and I can't remember the others. I was diagnosed a year after you in 1975 and 2 after Doris - congratulations !

Congratulations!

Sorry Doris, I've been away for a bit, so I missed this blog.

Sweet Congrats to you on your 39th D-Anniversary. That's a lonnng time Hon. I'm Happy that you and your Family are all doing well. Keep that up. See you at your 40th and 50th. :)
