We now have a Diabetes Support Group! It's under "Support Groups"...

in "topics" on the left over there.

Diet and exercise tips, how are your meds working, legitimate news... Anything to help the daily struggle.

I expect most of us are Type 2 and might have a little trouble identifying with Type 1's and insulin pumps, but we all share things like the deep suspicion of pancakes and going straight to the carb listing on packaged foods.

Hopefully, there won't be much woo about mysterious teas or berries that promise to cure all in a week, but things like cinnamon might deserve some some discussion.

More later-- gotta get to work.

Hopefully we can get some other diabetic DUers to come join us.

I'm a T1, so there will be at least a couple of us here to spice up the boring T2 conversations.
