Hi Lora and WELCOME to the Diabetic Angels! All of us are glad that you have become a DA and if there is ever anything we can do to help you, or any member of your family please let us know. Hopefully, you will have a chance to visit the DA's Diabetes 101, Do's and Dont's with Dr. Dewan (who you can email any time). Also, maybe you could Blog about the difficulties diabetic children have in school (we'd love to feature that Blog (I remember all too well some of the issues Mollie dealt with)! Anyway, checkout the groups or forums, or start your own group or forum! On a separate topic, I was raised in the Chicago land area, the Near Northside and then Libertyville to be exact!
