Last July I was diagnosed with type 2. I was 34, 6'3", and 170lbs. It was bit of a shock. My A1C was 12.1, well within the suicidal range, and my fasting level was in the mid 300s. Obviously I'd had it for a while and never knew it. After nearly a year on metformin and cutting almost all refined sugar, my A1C is down to 5.1. The only time of day I haven't been able to get my numbers into non-diabetic range is my morning fasting. It's consistently 115-150. Driving me crazy. Anyways, when I was first diagnosed it was difficult, mentally and physically. I had wished there was someone I could talk to about it, someone in the same boat. Someone to bounce ideas and questions off. I figured most of you are like family at this point, and if anyone was in the same situation I was a year ago I'd want to help. So, if you're recently diagnosed, have had it for years, whatever, let's chat. We can chat here publicly in this thread, via PMs, whatever. That said, I'll get the conversation started. Glucometers suck. Anyone using the Bluetooth one from iHealth? I want to sync with my phone. Right now I test and enter the results manually. I forget all the time. Today I entered numbers since October.

I recently purchased some Kreiga gear from RD. Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but seems like some really good quality stuff. Plan on writing a full review after the Gap trip.

No lodge rooms left? Also, we have a block of cabins and lodge rooms, so they would show as available on the website. You have to call. They may have been released already though.

But TN sucks. Georgia roads are way better. Oh yeah. She had her mace in one hand and rape whistle in the other.

Exactly. If someone comes up with a better place we can all stay and still have a fire, I'm all ears. I wouldn't mind checking out this place while we're down there: http://twowheelsofsuches.com, although I'm not sure about a bath house with some of you... Any other suggestions to check out while we're down there?

Shawn count?

Calovini thinks he has a few laying around, but won't be able to check until tomorrow. I'm text Derek at Iron Pony also. I think he's checking. Motohio is closed today. If anyone has one laying around you'd be my savior for the day. I was really hoping to get out this afternoon for a ride. Not looking likely.

I snapped the pushrod tonight. Ugh. So, anyone have a broken/spare lever from a bike with oem Brembo brakes? A lever from 848, 1098, 1198, 675R, etc should work.

Except NASCAR. NASCAR sucks.

KK quit motorcycles and NASCAR!?

So think of the editor as a live preview. For images it's much easier to just paste the url to the image. It'll automatically embed. It's easier here than other sites that require the img bbcode crap.

If you do it right, the image appears in the editor. No need for a preview.

FedEx but same difference. I'm more excited to put the stuff on the bike. I've been riding with a broken brake lever for almost a year. Stoked to have new levers.

I'd agree that it's a lame excuse if it weren't so much stuff coming.

I'm out. Just got notification that my order from Riders Discount is being delivered today. I don't want it all chilling on the front step while I'm gone all day. Sorry.

I don't remember seeing it posted. Link?

http://gearbrake.com/collections/shop/products/gearbrake-smart-brake-light-module?variant=15412480323 Kinda cool. Has an inertia switch that flashes your brake lights when decelerating without using the brake (like letting off the throttle).

Bugslide is great stuff, but don't use it or any cleaner in matte finishes. Only mild detergent (like dish soap) and water.

Don't really care if I did.

I picked up some sweet Triumph shirts today. Good deals. The sizing is all over the place though. I wear a medium, sometimes large. One shirt (pit shirt) I had to get small and it's still a little big. Another I had to get an XL. It's probably why they're on closeout. So be sure to check for fit rather than size. FYI.

Bummer.
