BIG THANKS (Update)

I am elated. 

I knew trying to get more involved in my

current community with

diabetes

would bring different emotions.

Mostly "coming out" if you will,

putting myself out there for people to label me 

as a diabetic. 

Not that I haven't been diabetic 

for almost 4 years now

but i'm putting myself,

my diabetes, my diabetes management 

out there for people to read about

and 

even if I am nervous about it

I'm happy. 

Why?

Well today I saw something I haven't felt before.

I logged into my

JDRF walk page to find

I have now raised $707!!!

That is exactly $200 MORE than 

my goal. 

I'm blown away at the support, 

not just financial, 

but the people that WANT 

to make a difference. 

The people who took time, to look at my blog,

to read and look at my table with information regarding Diabetes,

or who asked me my personal history with

Type-1.

I'm excited to know, people care and want a cure

just as badly as I do. 

I was in pump class today, preparing for it by learning all this

stuff, most i already knew. 

(Thanks to you fellow Pump/DOC bloggers)

And after feeling being ripped apart lately by CDE's, 

Dietitian's or other medical staff

I felt happy to know 

I'm working at keeping my 

A1C down and my numbers in good check. 

I know I might have a few weeks yet to see my results of the 

hard work I have been doing, but we're shooting for under 6. Cross your fingers. 

But really, THANK YOU

to all those Type-1 supporters. You're not only helping

ME, personally

but all of those who live with it, care for it and

are scared of it. 

Together, we can fund for the cure.
