These people are my extended family, even if that night was the first time we’ve met. That’s the impact of the diabetes community, of this family of strangers.
I really wish I thought to take more pictures. That’s something I can improve on in the future.

Chris, I’m so glad you were able to come down for that. Not only did you help us a great deal, but you helped make it a magical night for everyone. Thank you.

Hey, I know those people! It was great to see you in Philly! That was one of the most fun DSMA’s I’ve done in a really long time. Granted, it’s one of the only DSMA’s I’ve done in a really long time…but it was still the most fun!
