    My Diabetes Story

    Long story short, I was diagnosed with insulin-dependent diabetes, in December 1976, after a misdiagnosis of the flu. That was over 32 years ago. Today, I am doing my best to keep motivated and living a full life with diabetes. I live for my wife and two boys and long to see them live in a diabetes-free world.

    Hi Mark! Oh... I have been so bad about checking into the community lately! I'm embarrassed! I need to spend some time catching up with everyone. I'm still concentrating on my weight loss... easing up on -60 lbs... hoping I will get there by the end of the month at least. When is your episode going to run?... did they tell you? It was really nice to hear from you.
