Hey Berci - Thanks for including Six Until Me in your write-up, along with my employer dLife.
It’s great to see so many diabetes resources highlighted here.
You’re most welcome, Kerri!
It is great that you inform people about ways that we can improve our diabetes management. I have had diabetes for 45 years and have no few complications, but it is a hard job and we have to help eachother even if sometimes it is just a chance to explain how terribly frustrated one can get! My blog is at http://chrissieinbelgium.blogspot.com . Blogging really lets us talk to others who understand!
Thank you, Chrissie, for the kind words! I updated my post with your blog.
