Hello - I'm new here...
...fascinated to see such a collection of information and experience. Knowledge is power! I've been Type 1 since 1972 (doesn't seem that long ago). Diabetes hasn't stopped me from doing most things (I never wanted to enter bun-eating competitions anyway) Looking forward to following threads and discussions. Cheers!
