Dear Lurkers:
I just wanted to take a moments and say "Hey" and thanks for stopping over.
I know your time is valuable and I appreciate the fact that you read what I write.
My sitecounter tells me that you hale from exotic locals such as Malmo Sweden, Perth Australia, Boone North Carolina, Glendale California and a million places in between.
I wish I knew all your names and stories. I think about what you look like and what you think and wonder what your diabetes connection is.
Whoever you are and where ever you come from, I appreciate you very much.
If you ever want to take a moment to introduce yourself. I'm all for it.
But if you want to remain anonymous, I respect and accept your right to do so.
I feel your presence, I understand your need for privacy, and I'm so happy your here!
Thank-you for your friendship and for taking a moment out of your hectic day to stop by Diabetesaliciousness - it means the world too me!
Much love,many thanks, and lots of laughter!

Hi. Just de-lurking to introduce myself. My name is scott. :-)
I'm not a lurker (I make no secret of how much I think you rock!).
I want to say hej to the person from Malmo! I've actually been there - I worked in Helsingborg.
I need to do a lurker post of my own. Thanks for the idea Kelly!
OH HAI.
Love, Rachel
I am still deciding on if I want to put a stat counter on my blog or not. Part of me is afraid I'd be disappointed, either by the lack of visits, or the lack of comments.... Which is why I've not added one yet.
I like your lurker post though. It's a great idea. :)
Guilty lurker here - Kim

Thanks for the shout out. :-)

I'm one of your lurkers from Charlotte, NC. I'm Beth, a 25-year-old, married, type 1 (since 1996) pumper. :)
Another lurker here. Hows it going? I'm a 26 year old mom to 2 little girls. My 6 year old daughter Sydney was dx 2 years ago w/ T1. I love your insights as a PWD because as a parent, it's hard to know what she is feeling and going through. Your insight is very valuable to me. Thanks again.
Lurker here. I'm a 27 year old PW(T1)D and I enjoy your blog. D since 1990. Keep up the great posts!
Another lurker here. I'm a 29 year old PWD. T1 since age 5. Thank you for your blog. :-)

Lurker. I am from CT---T1 since 2006---diagnosed at age 43---pumper. I LOVE your blog. It helps me feel connected---I don't know anyone else who has T1. You have a great perspective and you make me laugh!
You make me laugh!
I've been lurking - I admit it!
I'm a frazzled mom to a 4 year old little girl that was dx'd almost a year ago (4/27/09). My blog is BitterSweet. It helps me deal with D to blog it out. And it REALLY helps me deal with D to read others dealing with it, too. I love hearing about thriving adults with T1. You give me hope that my little girl will have a long, healthy life! Thanks! Keep rockin'! - and I may have to steal the lurker post, too. I always wonder about those folks...!
Hi :) I'm Brenda from Colorado! You introduced yourself to me on my blog when I first started it, and were one of the first people to comment :)
I love your blog, and I can never remember if I commented on a post or just thought to myself my response to it.
Guilt too. Lurker from Ontario, Canada. Our daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 a year ago, she's 5yr. old. Reading blogs like yours gives me great hope for a bright future for her. Thank you for all your insight!

I will admit...TOTAL Lurker! My name is Nicole and I live in Rancho Cucamonga, CA...not too far from Glendale! I have an eight year son with Type 1...dx 12/08. I found your blog through Kerri's about 6 months ago or so and I have to say with much sincerity that you both give me great hope. I look to you both and know that someday my son will be a strong and healthy PWD just like you guys! Thank you for your willingness to share... <3
Hey K2 -
Jumping off my ocasional lurker box to chime in. It's me, Chris, we've met, we've shared, we've laughed and we've cried.
Thanks for being there for all of us, lurkers or not.
Lurker here.
I am Jennifer, mother of 2. My oldest daughter was diagnosed at age 5 with T1 in August 2008. She is on her way to 7!
Hey! I guess I'm classified as a semi-lurker. I wish I could be as active as I once was with D-OC, but know that I still read every post :)
Hello. Former D-Lurker here. Reformed for nearly a year now. Lurked for years, between 2006 to mid 2009, before turning my Corner Booth into the D-Corner Booth. Since then, I've become a Ninja. A Pirate. (ARG). Total D-Advocate. Better controlled Type 1, all around, and really a true fan of this ever-growing D-O-C. Ahoy! ARRGG!
Nicole-
Thanks for introducing yourself- it's great to "meet" you! I'm so glad that you found to me via Kerri's blog.
Hope does indeed float & your son is going to do wonderful things with his life!
On a side note, it just so happens that Cucamonga happens 2b one of my very favorite words ever!
Have been saying it since I was a kid, but had no idea it was an actual place!
Chris-
Thanks for the comment my freind. Yes, we've met, we've shared, we laughed, and we've cried. We are better than CATS!
Jennifer-
Thanks for introducing yourself & it's great to "meet" you! I have no doubt your daughter is an exceptional piece of work in every sense of the term!
Jillian-
Thanks for commenting- I've missed you!
Glad to know your reading and whenever you want to get back in the swing of things- we are waiting with fingers crossed!
Michael-

Cheers,

Hey K2! I am totally guilty of lurking :) I never know what to say!
Quick intro - my name is Jamie and I've had T1 for 20+ years... my D will be able to drink this upcoming July 11 (lol)! I found your blog through, I think, Kerri's - she was my first real DOC blog and all of the ones I have found, including yours, have helped me become inspired to take control & responsibility of my D!
Thank you for all that you do!!!
~Jamie K
Keep up the good work Kell. Em

I'm on a MM paradigm and am looking into a CGM b/c my hubby and I hope to start a family soon. I love your blog ~ found you from sixuntilme and all the other Tweeps! Keep up the great work! :)
Well, hello! I'm Jacquie and I live in Florida. Type 1 for 19 years. :)
