Hey, I’m Rex. I am Eric’s son, yeah, that Eric. 😉 I have grown up with an awareness of diabetes, as I sometimes have to bring sugar to my dad. I had two diabetic teachers this year, and I support anyone who lives with diabetes. ---

Welcome Rex. Glad to see you have an awareness of diabetes. Without your dad I am sure it wouldn’t be quite so much fun! My children can’t wait to leave my humor behind. Look forward to your contributions. ---

@Rex Rex, welcome! You have quite a dad. Hope a lot of him rubs off on you. Make sure you post often to let us know if he is behaving himself. ---

Looking forward to your input here Thomas. I’ve had my Dex G5 for about 6 months (wow, it really seems like much. much longer) and my A1C dropped to the mid 6’s from low 7’s since then. ---

I am Kim - AKA Spinlady. I have had Type 1 for 35 years, diagnosed at age 22. I live in the Los Angeles area with my husband of 31 years. Yes, he knew me before I was diagnosed. He actually held my shoulders when I gave myself my first insulin shot. I also have a 23 year old son - high risk pregnancy (well worth the trouble!) I like to ride bikes and use spin bikes indoors. ---
