March meetups in Massachusetts
I couldn't resist the alliteration, sorry.There are two opportunities to meetup with folks in Massachusetts this month. This coming Sunday a group of us will be getting together in Marlboro for a presentation on the Latest and Greatest Diabetes Technologies. Dr. Howard Wolpert of Joslin clinic will be presenting, he's a great speaker and worth hearing.
The following Saturday, ADA is holding a diabetes expo in Boston. It runs from 10 AM to 4 PM, but a group of us is planning to meetup at 2 PM beside the DESA booth and then gather in the food court area.
You may have heard me say this before. If you're nearby to either of these locations I recommend getting to one of the events.
Meeting up with a group of folks with diabetes is uplifting and supportive. We don't get together and complain about our challenges. We do talk about the latest things we've learned and support those of us who are having some issues. It's fun and liberating to sit down to eat and be with others who are pulling out test kits, injecting insulin or playing with the buttons on their pump. If you've never used a pump or a CGM it's a great chance to talk with others who have and learn some of the pros and cons.
I hope I'll see you at one of these events.

I wholeheartedly agree that it is uplifting and supportive, and look forward to any meetup that I can get to.
I promise that if I am ever in your neck of the woods that I'll get in touch with you!
The Expo is on my calendar... just don't know if we'll get there or not.
Dang it... I finally get a chance to meet everyone again... instead I'll be flying back home for a funeral... again! =(
