Attention: All insulin dependent diabetics
A support group is in operation to help insulin diabetics, espically those who have had diabetes more than 20 years.
ALL INSULIN DEPENDENT DIABETICS ARE WELCOME
Check under past meetings to see whats gone on in the meetings that you may have missed.
One of the featured guests as far as I'm concerned was a gentleman named Len Graff residing in Mission, Tx., but from North Dakota. Len wad diagnosed at the age 11 in October 1941, just before Pearl Harbor was bombed. He is the one who has had diabetes the longest in the group...59 years. I plan to talk to him over lunch very soon, so that I can pick his brain and find out what he attributes his longevity to besides his wife.
We again discussed different types of insulin and their effects on our bodies and the different times that it will kick in...remembering that we are all different and medicines will work differently in each of us.
Many members talked about their insulin pumps and how they were working.
Our next meeting will be held at Rio Grande Regional Hospital in their meeting room. Mr. Bill Burns, CEO of RGRH has been very kind in supplying us with snacks and a place to hold our meetings. If anyone would care to drop him a line, I'm sure that he would be pleased to hear from you.
The Meeting will be on February 15, 2001, at the above location with a new female endocrinologist, Dr. Farh Ghori
Hope to see you then,
Linda Unland Quinn
