Last night, We tackled diabetes guilt. Honestly, it was a heavy topic. At times it was hard for me to read the tweets because I saw me and some of the things I’ve experienced in the past. I thank God that I was able to get over the hump-the power of prayer, family and community always pulls me through. I wanted to personally thank each and everyone of you, it wasn’t easy but we did it. I say this all the time-the DOC is the only community that can make you cry and laugh in 1 hour.
