Getting started

I'm part of a great online community of Type 2 diabetics.  Someone posted a thread asking about blogs that we read and that inspired me to start my own blog.  I have one at SparkPeople, but I thought this one might be fun since it's more out in the open.

Let me introduce myself: My name is Sue and I'm the mother of five great children.  My husband and I live in a small midwestern town that is a perfect place to raise those kids.  In March 2008, I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.  This wasn't a big surprise to me, since I had gestational diabetes with all five of my children.  I was just hoping to put it off 10-20 years.  This purpose of this blog is just a place for me to ramble about children, diabetes, and life in general.  Thanks for joining me in my journey!
