Well it’s the end of Diabetes Blog Week and I’m ending it with a late post 😉

Topic number 7 = Last year, Wendy of Candy Hearts made a suggestion for this year. She commented “I think Day 7 should be a post about stuff we’ve learned from other blogs or the experience of coming together online…” Today, let’s do just that!! What have you learned from other blogs – either this week or since finding the D-OC? What has your experience of blogging the DBlog Week topics with other participants been like? What has finding the D-OC done for you? If you’d like, you can even look ahead and tell us what you think the future holds!

Today (well yesterday rather) is the end of DBlogWeek.  But it certainly is not the end of the diabetes community.  It is so diffilcult for me to put in words what I have learned over the past couple of years from the DOC.  But what I have certainly learned this past week, is that this community is bigger than ever.  And that is awesome.  Each and every one of our diabetes is different.  Our lifestyles are different.  Our blogging is different.  Our feelings are different.  Yet we all come together with the same goals.  To educate.  To advoate.  To support.  And I don’t know how I have managed all of those years in the past without it.  So thank you Karen for providing the opportunity to reinforce to all of us (and others outside the community even) just what a memorable group of people we are.      

I also have to point you to this video created by Mike … Thank You to Karen.  This is what this community is all about.
