I've been blogging for over 6 years (though not nearly as often as I used to anymore), and it's brought me friends who understand and people who have turned into some of my best friends IN SPITE of the fact we both have diabetes. <br />I felt like you before I found Kerri's blog and stumbled into this world. <br />I'm glad you found it too.

The DOC has changed my life. I know exactly what you mean - I felt like a veil had been lifted. For almost 20 years, I'd felt so incredibly alone. I didn't know any other diabetics, except for some who were much older than me, so 17 yr old me at the time, couldn't exactly relate. And once I found the DOC, I went through emotions from being so incredibly happy, to very low, thinking I'd been failing for the past 20 years. I've had some great friends in the DOC remind me that I can't change the past.. all I can do is take care of myself NOW and look forward, not backwards. Some days that's easier said than done.. but it definitely helps to have friends that also live with this disease 24/7 know what I'm going through and can give me relatable advice. :) <br />Sorry that was so long winded, but excited to have found your blog - and welcome!! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519715997012309216.post-88325871901792298242013-07-26T06:42:21.609-07:002013-07-26T06:42:21.609-07:00I'm so glad you found the DOC and I'm so g...I'm so glad you found the DOC and I'm so glad that you are a part of our family!<br />k2https://www.blogger.com/profile/04167099133092135850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519715997012309216.post-23092271191285728792013-07-26T06:06:01.236-07:002013-07-26T06:06:01.236-07:00Mmmm.
