Hi Mary.... I'm Cheryl, been T1 for 34 years and currently have no complications due to diabetes..... first off, congrats on the 92# weight loss.... that is excellent and I'm sure you feel alot better because of it! Way to go.....
I'm in Oklahoma...just moved here within the last month because....uh.... I've never lived in this state before....lol.... we were living in So. NM in the Sacramento Mts....and the economy got us down here onto level land. In NM, we had to drive 50 miles down and up mountain roads to get to the grocery store...and then had to drive back up the mountain to get home...so the 10 minute drive or 15 minute walk to the store is much better on the budget now. I was born and raised in No. NY... up by the Canadian border.
This is a terrific group.... I've been a member here for two years and have gotten to know some really great people here.... even though I've had diabetes since I was a teen (diagnosed at 18 and am 52 now), I have learned alot from reading the boards. I've also learned that I'm not alone...which has been great.
We share alot of our lives with each other but that isn't a requirement.... it just seems to happen. If you have any questions, concerns, curiosities, smiles or tears.... post away.... there is generally someone around that will respond with what they've experienced or know or to give you a hug.
I look forward to getting to know you also in the upcoming days and posts.....take care. Peace,Cheryl
