I was diagnosed when I was six years old and just turned 36 this past week. I feel like 30 years of diabetes is a bigger milestone than my birthday.

When I was a kid, we’d go out every April to have dinner at my choice of restaurant to celebrate. Maybe odd but idk, it was like a 2nd birthday for m

Congrats on 31 years!

I never really thought about taking a trip. That’s a great idea.

Mine is next September and I'm thinking of using as an excuse to visit my best friend for a long weekend.

Oooo. That’s a great idea.

I’d have to fly my bestie to me as she is currently unemployed and I have chosen forgo all travel to the US for now (I’m Canadian and she’s American).

I was able to take that trip due to a number of circumstances. If you choose to do something similar, it doesn't need to be something this large. Even taking a weekend trip to a different city and treating yourself to a nice dinner can be very rewarding. You earned that celebration.

Wow. I'm also turning 30 this year and I'm starting to think about how to celebrate. If you don't mind, friends, give me some ideas.
