Hi I'm Carrie and I am a proud mommy to three kids. My oldest, Cody was diagnosed with type 1 on Friday. We live on Fort Belvoir, Va. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone and picking everyone's brain.

Hi Carrie - Welcome to the forums. I am sorry to hear about your sons diagnosis. I think you find this site very informative and the participants extremely helpful.

(I am down 95 in Richmond and attended Hayfield HS for a couple of years way back when.)

Welcome. So sorry to hear about the diagnosis but this is a great place to find, especially this early. It will be overwhelming but we'll help get you through!

There are at least two other members here from Ft. Belvoir. One is "momofphoenix" and the other just moved there from San Diego - she's in temporary housing now looking for a place. If you search for Belvoir, I'm sure her post will come up

Oh yeah, I'm up 95 and over near Dulles Airport from you! (since everyone is talking about how close they are to you!) :)

Hi Carrie. hang in there-it must be tough just getting into the diabetes routine. Feel free to ask and we'll all learn together!

Welcome Carrie!
This is a wonderful place to find 'people in your shoes'.
I usually spend alot of time in the parents chatroom. That is a good place if you have a immediate question. Hang in there!
