Hi, I'm a diabetic with type 2, which I am also blogging about at http://diabetia.org Your wisdom inspires me. :)

Thanks for being there. I'm a professional speaker and a PDE...that's a Peer Diabetes Educator. I'll be speaking at this year's AADE Conference in San Antonio in August.

Keep up the good work.

I would like to thank chris & teresa for your hard work in helping all of us who really need answers to this terrible problem diabetes. you all are wonderful people again thank you very very much.i gave my friend richard who is 70 years old those pamphlets i got at class he said thank you i will read them carefully.

I am 36 years old and I have had type 1 diabetes since I was 2 years old. I have had the pleasure of being one of Chris's patients at Valley many times. I'm gad I'm not here now! I hate the hospital but it has become a part of my life and my families. I'm hoping to hear from Chris or his wife to discuss a few new items. I also want to say.....we will beet this and everyone hang tuff and keep up all of your hard work!

I was diagnosed as T2 in May of 2008. Since then it has been an uphill battle. Diet and exercise are the keys for type 2 control. I was so disappointed when I looked for a doctor in Las Vegas that treats diabetes and was on my health care plan. Is there anywhere that we can look for good diabetic doctors here in Las Vegas???

I was told I had diabetes the end of June of 2009. I am now on insulin shots and diabetes pills. But my blood sugar is still high. My wife has cut out the sugar and salt in my diet, but it still seems to stay over 200 most of the time. I am 81 years old. Does my age play a part in this. I drank quite a lot of beer in my day, but had cut that down to one or two beers a day before I was told by the hospital that I was a diabetic. I have brought my weight down ti 195 lbs. and i am approx. 6ft.1in. Is this to much weight for me to carry?

Ive been a type 2 about fifteen years. I saw the R.J. article and am open for any help.

I've been a type 2 for about fifteen years. I've got a few other health issues right now,but I intend to come to a meeting when they are resolved.

I was 60 when I was told I was a diabetic now at a young 65 I am on insulin. It is nice to be able to talk to someone. Thanks
