Verano & S-G
I have succeeded in the aims that steered me to this website and the forums 12 months ago, but I still need the support and input from people on this site.
I don’t think I would have achieved the goals without your and S-G’s advice (and non bullying!!🫣) and I hope my experience might just help someone else.

I think your presence would be greatly missed… I, personally, would miss the input and hope that you do stay around, at least popping in from time to time!

I know why I stay on this site. I too have made friends – both real and digital. I feel we have a unique connection. The other reason is I would hate for someone to slip through the net with diabetes. Although that is a 2 edged sword, I like to help people and I know I do but I also lose people who ask for advice and then you never see them again. There have been 2 successes over the past year and I nearly lost them when one thought it was too hard to stick with but did in the end. I know I am not indispensible and hope that if I take a backseat there is someone who will fill the gap. Lets see how it goes but you wont have to mind me butting in now and them or even just dropping in to say hi.

Do you remember when the site went down for a few days? Maybe a year ago or so. I was far more upset than I expected (particularly since I had been lurking rather than taking much of an active part). I would really miss you Verano and s-g so do please stick at it (though of course have a break!). I am still of a vintage (under another name) of missing AllieCat, Theodora, JGwen and others. Good to know Wendy is still in touch with you s-g.
