Day 5 of Diabetes Blog Week = In February the #dsma blog carnival challenged us to write about the most awesome thing we’d done DESPITE diabetes. Today let’s put a twist on that topic and focus on the good things diabetes has brought us. What awesome thing have you (or your child) done BECAUSE of diabetes? After all, like my blog header says, life with diabetes isn’t all bad!

I’m pretty sure this is going to be a common theme among the blogs today but this was the easiest post for me to put together.  I cannot think of a more awesome thing to come out of having diabetes than being part of the DOC (diabetes online community).  Over the past several years I have found a connection to so many people which is just indescribable and irreplaceable.  I have learned so much and have gained so much from all of you.  You have all become such a big part of my life.  And I certainly would not be where I am today without you.  There are still so many that I have not met in person but below are captures of some of the greatest moments with my diabetes friends.  My awesome friends.  Friends that I know I will have for life.  (please click on the arrow in the below collage to see my slideshow)
