I have officially started my new job and I am excited about the potential that lies ahead. For a while now I have been chasing after the opportunity to work for this company and I'm at a point where I feel comfortable sharing more about it. While I am employed full time with my new job I will also continue to do some personal training and be a blogger for dlife. So anyway, enough of the dancing around,I am now a full-time employee of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) and I am really happy about it.

My job will revolve around reaching out to others, providing support, and facilitating relationships with the JDRF and the newly diagnosed and their families. This job has a very special meaning to me because of the enjoyment I get from connecting to other people associated with diabetes. Reaching out is what I love to do and it is something that I have done since I was diagnosed. I remember how lonely I was in the beginning and how awesome it felt to connect with people who were going through the same thing. I still feel that way today and I feel very fortunate to have met a number of people through this site and others.

I look forward to maintaining the relationships I have made and I see the potential with my new job and blogabetes. With JDRF I am getting the opportunity to travel and do many new and exciting things and I look to forward to sharing that with all of you. Just this week, for example, I am learning the importance of booking a hotel room that has a refrigerator and a freezer to keep my insulin and insulin holder cold! Stay tuned to my blog for more information and feel free to leave a comment below.

Thanks for reading, -Andy.
