Hi Julie,
I am glad a diabetes thread started up. I am a type I Diabetic and test mine whenever I think about it. I am sure my Drs' aren't happy with that, but my A1c is pretty good. Last one was 6.1. That's as good as it gets with me. I have also lost 30 pounds on purpose. I am over on the Weightloss forum.I am sure Doc will be pleased with that news.

I am not sure what you mean about the start of this forum, unless you are like me. If I could only think if it, I don't mind testing. We should take time to do something we are told to do. Like diet also. I know how hard it is.
Good Luck on your jorney where ever you go,
Fancylady
