The only time I went to a diabetes support group I was 12 and it was mostly older people.. My high school experience was also very much like yours. I'd be interested in looking into finding a group for teens or college students for when I'm home during the summer.. It sounds like a really great support system to have!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-59873924740407631762008-12-30T19:20:00.000-05:002008-12-30T19:20:00.000-05:00Scott - Healthcare in this country needs to change...Scott - <BR/>Healthcare in this country needs to change, absolutely!

Unfortunately, many small companies are inclined to see diabetes not as character-building, but as a huge incremental cost to the company's healthcare bill. Until we reform the nation's healthcare system, it may not be the ticket to a new job, but as reason NOT to hire someone!Scott Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286529314567223617noreply@blogger.com
