    Klimpys replied to mommasgirls's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    Run screaming in the other direction! I say this as a mother of a Type 1 son who diagnosed at age 13. I agree with everyone else. The kid should be doing his own injections. My son took command...

    Klimpys replied to Spidey's mom's topic in School

    Klimpys replied to Klimpys's topic in General Students

    Klimpys replied to Klimpys's topic in General Students
