Thanks for the compliment.woukd be nice to new 44 yrs young but graduated in 80 and did neonatal intensive care before I had my son. Haven taken care of many type 1 diabetic over the years, have a few now. Work with mentally ill and intellectually challenged kids now. And Yes I garbled blue for 40+ yrs. My dad was a grad.
You are very welcome.

My mother is a retired neonatal nurse at one of the larger local hospitals. Father was a state championship high school coach in the state of CT. It takes a very special person to work in the neonatal intensive care unit.
I think only 1/2000 people actually are T1's. Unfortunately my pancreas makes no insulin. So the disease has almost taken my life several times as a result of hypoglycemia. Now I have the Dexcom continuous glucose monitor since I am now hypoglycemic unaware. I was symptomatic at a young age (neuropathy) of T1 on 9/11 (prediagnosis) while working on the 53rd floor of 1 WTC North. Diagnosed soon after. So you can imagine.
Keep up the amazing work. It is respected and appreciated.
Take care.Warmest,
