  2. It feels weird saying "happy" diaversary, when speaking about a disease...but then again...as you have pointed out you have so many things to celebrate. Wishing you many smiles, lots of laughter, internal comfort and many many many more years!

  5. Kelly - Great way to celebrate by counting off each thing you enjoy in life - that's what counts the most! Can't imagine some of the diabetics out there with over 50+ years of the D - what their list would look like (mine would include The Partridge Family ). Remember, we're all living longer with diabetes with all the advancements that have been made (good bye glass syringes and needles that are sharpend on a stone - ugh - me Cave Woman) - but still will be great when we FIND A CURE!!!
