You all are going to love this as much as I did I had a conversation with my mom a few weeks ago and she finally came clean with me about the families medical history. When Kelton was diagnosed with diabetes she told me that no one in the family ever had it, well I came to find out she was not telli...

Glad your back and very glad you found the reason behind your problems. I know lots of people that have developed diabetes in mid life. We're you overweight before and did you eat lots of carbs before this? I was wondering because I assume with your son having diabetes you must have had a better di...

With my son having type 1 for the last 5 years I should have recognized the symptoms..But no..I didn't..I never thought in a million years that someone my age could get type 1, but the Endo told me it was not all that uncommon.. So far I am managing it pretty well as long as I stay far away from hea...

OT: I am back

I have been away for awhile, a lot has been going on (this is putting it mildly) As far as my CPAP, I am doing good, I use it every time I sleep, whether it is at night or during the day. A few months ago I found myself to be very thirsty and dog tired all the time, so I thought it would help if I w...

Thanks All! Willie, Funny as your reply was, it actually got me to thinking!! I tried my daughter's eye mask last night (in place of your goggles) and it worked like a charm!! Still needs a bit of tweaking to align just right under the mask, but it is workable. I will try again tonight and see how ...

I have been using the nose bridge protection for the past few weeks...It is amazing!! My nose has totally healed up and now I no longer have a sore nose!!

I am using it with the F&P 431 and even though I do not tuck it under the cushion it still works very well!!

[quote="echo"]Wow, I just watched your youtube video on Kelton. It brought tears to my eyes. I really didn't know anything about Type 1 Diabetes. Thank you for that. And the video was really nicely done, with fabulous music.

Hope your work out helps... and good luck with the next steps!
