Support groups

[micki]

So I give myself a gold star for the day, because (a) despite really, really, really just wanting to turn off my alarm and sleep for another hour, I got up and worked out this morning; and (b) I actually made myself go to the diabetes support group at work today. I don't know if I will keep going--it turns out everyone there was type 1 and on insulin, and all but one of them are students (one in fact a student in one of my classes), but I'm glad I made myself go just in case. It was definitely interesting hearing people's stories--especially the German exchange student who talked about what German insurance covers v. American insurance--but I think I want to talk to people with Type II issues. Apparently the local hospital has some support groups, though.
