We now have a Diabetes Support Group! It's under "Support Groups"...

in "topics" on the left over there.

Diet and exercise tips, how are your meds working, legitimate news... Anything to help the daily struggle.

I expect most of us are Type 2 and might have a little trouble identifying with Type 1's and insulin pumps, but we all share things like the deep suspicion of pancakes and going straight to the carb listing on packaged foods.

Hopefully, there won't be much woo about mysterious teas or berries that promise to cure all in a week, but things like cinnamon might deserve some some discussion.

More later-- gotta get to work.

Hopefully we can get some other diabetic DUers to come join us.

I'm a T1, so there will be at least a couple of us here to spice up the boring T2 conversations.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
