I am Rick, I have been a member at TUDiabetes since 2007 and I enjoy the site. I have a Doctor of Education Degree (Ed.D.) from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and I live in Indiana. I have been married up since 1977 to Sheryl, we have two wonderful sons and three grandchildren. I have been type 1 since 1974.

I do not participate in diabetes related projects for me, I do it so my grandchildren and their children will not have too.

As a MiniMed Ambassador, I receive promotional items and education material to use and share as I see fit. No monetary compensation has taken place and any opinions expressed by me are honest and reflect my actual experience.
