We reached 10,000 members a little while ago, actually as of right now we are at 10.002. We have come a long way since the start of Juvenation, and thanks to all of you we have become a great resource and support system to the many who are affected by diabetes.
I want to thank you all for helping me with my daily struggles living with this disease. Without you guys I don't know where, or what, or how I would be handling this.
Here is to the cure! Hopefully one day... Until then, I am glad I have you!
After having only been on Juvenation for about a week or so, I cannot begin to tell you how much I have learned.....It is so nice to have others out there who go through the struggles and daily life with diabetes that you experience! This is a wonderful place!
Juvenation, well it's hard to put into words how i feel about this place. But here I have found that I'm not alone and that there are many people here that are either going through or feeling the same way I have/do. The best thing is that here I don't have to be scared, fustrated or anything else and this is the place that I come to for the best advice(just because you will give you the best advice other than those that have gone through the same things).
Here I am gushing over my response trying to put my feeling into words....Juvenation is like home for me!!!!!

Juvenation is a great place for us t-1's to share our experience, strength and hope. (sound's kind of like AA). In my 37 years since diagnosis I have only been able to share with one other diabetic. Now I can share with 10 thousand! There is so much information, knowledge and experience to be shared and learned from. Because of Juvenation I got input on GCM and choices and experiece others are having with the different devices. Now I am working to get one and feel confident in the choice of devices I have chosen. It is really important we t-1's can communicate. And I truly am appreciative of this site. Thank you to all who created it. It is working!
10,000 is an impressive milestone. But even more impressive is the amount of ACTIVITY our membership has. Take note of some of our members who have a huge number of posts associated with their profile- THEY are the real starts of juvenation!*
*I'm calling out superstars like Gina, C, Batts, Sarah, Meme, et al. You know who you all are :-)

I have only been on here for a short time but I am so glad I am. It's so comforting to know that there are other people feeling the same way I do. Everyone on here knows how the low and high BGs feel and it is so hard to explain to other people so that they understand. Growing up, even though I had alot of friends who loved and cared for me, I still in a small way felt alone. I wish Juvenation would have been around then but I'm glad it's around now so that young kids know they're not alone and get advise and support from peers.
I know this sounds kind of horrible, but it is so nice to hear from other Type 1's and not Type 2's. I get so annoyed when all I ever hear about is new Type 2 treatment and medication. Or advice from them. Ugh. No thank you.
