In person D-Meetups are always even more awesome than just the online awesomeness, but the beads and growing "support group" concept makes it even more sweet.

I feel like it implies that I've got a problem, and while I have diabetes (and it IS a pain), it's not a problem. I picture a support group as a somber meeting where someone cries over their challenges and someone else gives them a half-hearted "keep your chin up", before switching roles. Thanks for describing what it's REALLY like - it sounds like fun. I just wish the name were a little more inviting.Scott Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00259475635753627498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860126842626343555.post-90935640033820132402012-03-07T08:49:40.330-06:002012-03-07T08:49:40.330-06:00I am SO JEALOUS of your group.
