Slight as it was, his spirit caught. The more than omen, for his thought. The lesson well could trace, Which even he who runs may read, That Perseverance gains its meed, And Patience wins the race.

Testing Limits in Montana
I had the good fortune to spend a week hiking in the mountains of Montana with a group of diabetics, and one non-diabetic.
I say that it was good fortune because:
a) It was an unforgettable experience.
b) There's no way I would have done this on my own.

In case you were wondering, I used about a third less insulin than usual every day of this five day hike.
I posted a picture of a 100 I got on the last morning in the mountains at One Hundred BG.

This was another adventure organized by the Testing Limits club of Insulindependence.
I don't think I could possibly describe this trip, so I will just ask you to follow the link to my pictures if you're interested.https://picasaweb.google.com/100190050835559964278/Montana2012
