Great idea. I just signed up for one also. I know how tough it is for people with diabetes, I had a very close childhood friend and I saw first hand what he had to go threw on a daily bases. Anything that can be done to help with eleminating diabetes is something im all for. Thanks for the info Northwes.

Just found out recently my hubby is borderline diabetic. So when I saw that pop up on the home page I signed right up. I agree, hopefully we will see some of these TB's in Alaska unlike the Jeep distribution. It really is a great cause.

I also got some blood test results that indicated above the norm guideline indication for diabetese. I will be up for retest in another month. Possibly the last one/two was/were not accurate.

I requested one, but it is probably too late to get one. It is a great cause though.

Got mine today too. You know you have a problem when a package from groundspeak shows up and you start wondering what you have bought.

That is exactly what I thought, "Hmmm, what else did I buy?" Almost used my teeth to get the package open then found a pen floating around in my car that I used to rip it open. Pretty sad huh?

I am laughing so much! I need a letter opener in the car (post 9/11 I don't carry the edged folding weapon anymore...) so I don't hurt myself trying to get into those plastic bubble envelopes... or even a knife - what a radical thought...
Yup - rec'd my tag yesterday; now I just need to get out and geocache!

I had two tyvek envelopes waiting for me when I got home and I don't know which was more exciting to open. The Diabetes TB or four sets of the Caching Zone geocoins!

They said they would give them to the first 20,000 who left, and they said they had a few left after I applied, so I might get one, but maybe it depends on location too.
