| |  Anyone from Tennessee
Hi all, 
I was just wondering if anyone is around Tennessee? We live North of Knoxville and thought it might be fun to meet others every so often just have a small get together for dinner and share some experiences.
Just let me know!

| | | I'm from Alabama. But that sounds like a great idea. You could form a small support group. Why not post a flyer in local churches, at local banks, the library, and post office?

| | | I am just North of Nashville. I just found out last month that I have type 2 so I am new to all of this. I think that it would be great to get together with someone from here. |

I live in Athens, 60 miles between Knoxville and Chattanooga, TN. My parents live in Oak Ridge. I lived there for over 30 years. Maybe we can one day meet. I am still very new here. |

My wife works in Oak Ridge and we live in Andersonville. Next time you get ready to come up this way shot me a email / PM and we can see if we can meet up some where.
Thanks and have a great morning.

| | | Hi Moe,
Be happy to do that at some point. I see you're new to Levemir. I use Levemir as my backup basal in case the pump takes a dump. I use NovoLog in my pump. Hope Levemir works well for you. It's been good for me since I was allergic to Lantus. |
