DU Group Suggestion

[nyrnyr1994]

In light of this discussion earlier today, I would like to suggest a DU Group created for Diabetes Support:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2306164&mesg_id=2306164

We could use this to provide discussion and support for those with this disease, or if you have a friend, family member or loved one, and anyone else with an interest in learning more.

Please post if you would like to see this happen, thanks.

4. kick, for morning DU'ers to see...

Glad to see some support coming in.

Wasn't able to edit OP, but I wanted to also mention that this idea started from a reply from a comment I made in the thread referred to above. madmom thought this would be a great idea for a new group:

5. Sure

Someone suggested this a few months ago. Was it you?

6. Here is the thread from awhile back

Maybe you can get some names here.

I have no idea what happened to this. I'm willing to be counted as wanting a group, just don't want to organize it.............

8. There already is a Chronic Health Conditions Group and the vast majority of posters have, like me,

diabetes. (IDD for over 40 years with the secondaries to prove it!)

FWIW, I and a few others founded that group and so I take this a little personally. The CHC group is rather slow moving so it's very easy to keep track of.

We'd love to see you all there--many of our problems correlate to those of other CHC survivors and there's loads of great people there.

11. Hi blondeatlast, didn't mean to step on any toes :(

I'm going to check it out, thanks for bringing the CHC group to my attention.

10. Good idea.

:hi: I'm not a diabetic, but a loved one is type 1, and a couple are type 2.
