No, I'm not thankful for diabetes today. I am thankful for a relatively healthy and normal childhood. I am thankful for innovative companies and their wonderful (and improving!) devices that help inform people with diabetes about the effects of diet/exercise/daily living on blood sugars. I am thankful for the groundbreaking research going on at MassGen in Dr. Faustman's lab http://www.faustmanlab.org/index.html . I am thankful for doctors and diabetes educators with bucket loads of patience. Most of all, I am thankful that I found a great group of ladies (DIVA Diabetics), a fantastic organization (Insulindependence http://www.insulindependence.org/ and the StL DawnPhenom group), and numerous new friends :-)
