Our assignment from Karen, our super awesome Diabetes Blog Week “Ring Leader”, is to write about something awesome we’ve done because of diabetes.

You know what – there is a lot that comes to mind.  Stuff like playing basketball with diabetes, kayaking 44 miles down the Mississippi river with diabetes, Biking like crazy last summer with diabetes (and doing it again this summer – when it finally arrives!).  But none of that stuff is because of diabetes.  It is life, with diabetes along for the ride.

When I think of things that are awesome because of diabetes?  You come to mind.  The Diabetes Online Community.  You all mean more to me than I can say, and the only reason I know you and love you is because of diabetes.
