I didn't realize, however, that you lost sixty pounds. Eeeeek! I'm grateful that you're diabetic in an era where it's controllable through technology and medicine.

While diabetes is a pain, I've found that many people I know who have diabetes are also able to look at the bright side, things like being more aware of how they're feeling and thinking more consciously about what they're eating. 10 years is an important milestone, so congrats on getting here. This September it will be 37 years for me and so far without any significant problems. Best wishes for a healthy continuing life with the big D.

That was a stressful day. I'm glad it's gotten a bit easier.
