hey bebop i think that would be a great idea. sorry i didn't see your post until today. i'm diabetic and had an incredible time accepting that they finally put it on my med chart. i just didn't want another dx to my long list of health and mental dx's. still working on acceptance...5 yrs. later...the others i was able to accept pretty readily, but this last one-diab.-threw me for a loop. it changes so much about one's life. i am moving in less than a week but once i get to the new place would have the time to be a participant. i'm sure there will be others too..... so don't give up.

oops..was going to post last night but got side tracked...i'm game.

i've been type 2 non insulin dependent diabetic for about 4 years now. both parents were also so it came as no shock..plus i've been on/off prednisone for about 19 years for asthma so that hasn't helped matters either.

honestly for me the diabetis is the least of my worries..i guess because of growing up around it..we never had much sugar in the house so it was no big deal. i'm not a big sweet eater but put a sandwhich in front of me and that's another story.

i'm overweight due to the meds and find that to be one of my biggest challenges. every time i end up hospitalized it seems what ever meds they use to stabilize me in the "bin" seem to send my sugars off the charts and i have to go the insulin route.

anyway i think it would be an interesting group.
