Last week the groundhog saw his shadow and has predicted six more weeks of dreary winter weather to get though. It can be hard to stay upbeat and happy when dealing with a chronic illness, and dark cold weather can make it even tougher. So this month, let’s revisit our Diabetes in the Winter chat from January 11th and discuss . . .
What can we do to help stop depression from hitting our community during the winter months?
Don’t forget to come back to this post and link your carnival post in the comments. Also please add the following line to your post: “This post is my February entry in the DSMA Blog Carnival.

Hello, I wish I had known about the Feb blog carnival. I have written many blogs, and have been a type 1 diabetic for 66 years. I would like to start my own blog site, and take a break from posting in all those diabetes support groups for awhile. I am not good with computers, and I need some suggestions/help in getting started. I will appreciate any help I can get!! Thanks!
