Debi,

Welcome! I am new to the world of Diabetes and this group also. My husband

was d/x'ed about 4 weeks ago and we are learning how to deal with it. Him

alittle better then me because he has it. The whole house has become sugar

free or sugar subs, which is great for me because I am on a diet..lol..We

have 4 children, one of which has autism (moderate/severe because he is

non-verbal). Our youngest will be three months old on January 2. I can't wait

to hear more about your family and life!

Take care,

Sue...

Are you by chance on the gfcfrecipes group? Your circumstances sound

familiar! There is also a Sue with 4 kids, and another Sue with 8

kids. Don't you feel lucky now, lol!
