Default Your Goal(s) for FFL 2010

With travel to Orlando for FFL 2010 fast approaching, I wonder what everyone's goals are for the conference. Learning about pumps? Catching up on research? Renewing friendships? Meeting people for first timers?

Default Goals

I so wish I could stay in Orlando past the Roche Summit to attend the FFL conference, but won't be able to this year. But if I were, I'd want to meet as many families as possible and help reinforce the reality that Life With Diabetes doesn't mean life must be any less productive or full. An inspiration to me is another Type 1, Kerri Sparling, who I would love to hear speak and look to for advice on everything that's possible in life with diabetes. The most fulfilling thing I've found outside the Diabetes Online Community has been reaching out to parents - newly-diagnosed or not - and just sharing stories that illustrate their kid(s) will be OK with this.
