Hey Juvenators!
Here is this week's Friday Five! I hope you enjoy!
1. I want to share some really exciting news! We reached 10,000 members on Wednesday! I wrote how I feel about it in the forums. Share your best experience about being a member of Juvenation by leaving a comment on my post! Thank you all for making Juvenation the best place for people affected by type 1 diabetes.2. Are you having a hard time coping with your diabetes? Join the Coping with Diabetes group and get support from other people that have gone, or are going through the same things as you. You don’t have to be alone! 3. Prom season is coming up fast! You have enough to stress about, like getting the perfect dress or Tux and where the after party is! Do you want to know how to hide your pump? or where to put your meter? Get your answers in the Prom thread which is going on now! 4. This week’s member of the week is Meme! Meme now has over 1000 posts on Juvenation and is a huge contributor to our community. Click on her profile to learn more about her or to just say hello!5. While we reached some goals here at Juvenation this week, so did the JDRF Online Diabetes Support Team (ODST), it handled its 20,000th request. The ODST are trained volunteers that respond to questions from how to tell family members and friends that you, or someone close to you, have been diagnosed with diabetes to where to 'wear' an insulin pump or how to join a local support group.

Happy Friday everyone!
