I'm new to this website. I've been a diabetic for just over 10 years now. I came across this website and my first thought was holy cow, people that understand me. No one around me, no friends, no family, no aquaintances have diabetes...whats a girl to do.  The only person i knew of that was also diabetic was a boy in high school that cared more about drinking all week then coming to the nurses office for a snack and a glucose check. So we never crossed paths. As you know, you dont' truly know until you experience this for yourself. well, so far i'm liking this website...i just dont' know anyone...or really where to start...what do i say, Hi, I noticed that you have diabetes...well, duh! lol...So, being the hesitant shy girl that i am...lets chat...i'm here just for friendship, and a common goal...venting about this irrating issue that we have, and we live with. Talk to ya soon!
