[Diabetes-Talk] Diabetic Flash Former Teacher Interested In Helping Others

[Andy Langbart]

Dear NFB members,

I am a former teacher of over 20 years and am now visually impaired, as 
well as diabetic. My interest is in communicating with others who want 
to learn more about the best ways to take care of their health. My name 
is Andy and anyone interested in keeping in touch I would very much 
appreciate being able to network with others in a similar situation.

Please reply to this email whenever you get a chance and we can discuss 
our needs and our situation.

Regards,

Andy
