Hi Jeana thank you for the warm welcome......I am T2...seems the pills I was on for the past 12 years have stopped doing their job now Dr.has me on two new pills been so stressed out over this and i know the stress has been no help ...

Catie and Emily Hi there Thank you for the welcome..I have been doing a lot of searches on the net for a good Diabetic forum and this one looks like one I can feel very comfortable in

Hi Barb and welcome.

You have found a good spot for advice, friendship and support. I am T1 on a pump, so I don't know that I would have any real insight to the pill problem. Sorry.

Anyway, take care and hope to see you around.

P.S. Don't take it personnally if we poke fun at Canada, we do it mostly to annoy a select few. Of course they do a good job at poking fun at us Yanks. :D

[Barb]

Hello and welcome, Barb :)

Welcome to our family (that's really what it is ;) ) . This is an awesome group and I think you will fit right in :thumbsup:.

I understand how you feel about the word "diet", it really is a 4 letter world, lol :D. I find it the hardest component of managing diabetes, but I am doing the best I can. I think that's all we can do.

Anyway, feel free to post anytime and please do consider us friends here...I think you can never have too many ;)

Take care!

Hi Barb: It's nice to meet ya and Welcome to The Family. I'm
in South Eastern Ontario but both my Brother and Sister are closer
to you, not too far from Toronto.
I'm sorry to hear that your blood sugars are misbehaving. :(
Hopefully, with your new pills, they will be as close to normal as possible.
I know it's hard sometimes, but try not to "stress" too often.
Take Care and we hope to hear from ya soon. :)

Welcome, Barb!

I'm sure you'll really like it here. We're all very accepting, and occasionally we're even well-behaved! :D

[Barb]

Hi Angie...Thank you for the Welcome...Accepting is very good..

You can disable the function if you want to. Simply go into 'User CP' and then into 'Edit Options' ... and finally, in 'Messaging and Notifications', simply set the Default Thread Subscription Mode to : Do not suscribe. You will stop receiving e-mails.

When I want to know what's new, I simply click on 'New Posts'. Easier that way!

Hope that helps

[Barb]

Marie thank you yes I will do that..this is the same set up as the garden forum I am in I should have known how to work out the kinks.. :o
Thank you for your help
