I wish I didn't have it, but it does make me focus on trying to live a more healthy lifestyle.<br /><br />As far as being a member of a club, I don't think I fit in well. I experiment a lot with my diet, and I don't automatically do what doctors want. Most diabetics I know tend to never question their doctors, or even ask what their meds are for. I just can't be that way; I have to ask questions, and I want answers that make sense to me.jimpurdy1943@yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12974301744118775363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776004322644714661.post-68433166391448375952009-07-16T11:29:48.774-04:002009-07-16T11:29:48.774-04:00I started a club for something and already have on...I started a club for something and already have one other member but if I admit what kind of club it is, in public, I might have some tomatoes thrown at me so I'll just say it's only for people that love music a whole lot.halfsharedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08897983346646333294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776004322644714661.post-20383323727222648082009-07-16T03:00:47.453-04:002009-07-16T03:00:47.453-04:00Insp- You wouldn't have.....

Have you read the post about it on SUM?<br /><br />SA- It's a very common thing with diabetes, and I believe with parents of special needs children as well. In fact, I think any club automatically give people a bond...<br /><br />Zeesekeit- problem is, IRL I am not as outspoken as I am on here. I wouldn't tell a random stranger that I have diabetes...<br /><br />Anon- so you aren't inviting the people in to join?? :-p<br /><br />G6- the itouch is the best thing that ever happened to one. Maybe after my kallah cake lesson I will give you an ipod touch lesson. But seriously, it's great. Email me your questions. <br /><br />NP- what's the something? Cuz 21 is pathetic to be worried.... Unfortunately I know a lot of girls who are as young as 20 and already panicking about their maiden status.<br /><br />CJS- A shul full of diabetics?

Growing up is optional.<br /><br />NMF- If they are very secretive about their diabetes they probably wouldn't wear their pump on their waste, nor would they check their blood sugar in front of people.Something Differenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225114844104235510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776004322644714661.post-70734272189643473942009-07-15T05:42:28.201-04:002009-07-15T05:42:28.201-04:00What about those who aren't as outgoing, and w...What about those who aren't as outgoing, and wouldn't want to flash their membership card proudly?nmf #7https://www.blogger.com/profile/02930286227301917330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776004322644714661.post-39105258959069743312009-07-15T00:57:18.940-04:002009-07-15T00:57:18.940-04:00What about the age club?
