Does Anyone Know What Happened To @A DiabetesTeam Member ??

Ian - (Ian4Life) used to be a regular participant in this forum.

I was just thinking that I hadn't seen a post or reply from him for a couple of weeks (he was just recently on a cruise and still managed to post quite a few times).

Did This Have To Happen?

Today I’m going to relay a personal story which may shed some light on why I’m so engaged in everything Diabetes.

I’m going to tell you the story of my father.
