Miigwetch Arlene for writing about Diabetes, sometimes I wonder if there is such a thing called diabetic mood swings.  There are so many people in are communities that have someone in their familty who is diabetic and they seem not to having any coping mechanisms.  I have witnessed some close personal friends spiral right out of control and abuse alcohol to cope, however, this just makes things worse. There really needs to be some diabetic support groungs on reserve as I see them in non-native communities. Maybe I will have to be that champion! Janet
