This is my first blog entry. I’m not sure why I’m attempting to be a blogger. I’ve never really seen the point in it especially if you weren’t a famous writer or critic and getting paid for your opinion. Then I discovered the #DOC,  Diabetic Online Community, and everything changed. I found other people that have what I have. And they’ve had it longer, and they know more about my condition and they all sound so smart. I’m new to this, but what I’ve learned is the strength of this community is out of this world. The information and resources at your fingertips is unreal. I do a lot of volunteer work with my JDRF Chapter and it’s helped me immensely in understanding type one diabetes. But I can go farther. I can do more. I can learn more, and I can teach more. I’ve seen the importance of connecting and sharing. And I want to be a part of it.
