I came habitation from Roche Summit lastly black together with I convey together with then much data together with many experiences to procedure - And honestly guys, I can't await to percentage them amongst you! 
 But until I larn the peril to truly assemble my thoughts into a coherent post, I idea I'd percentage something else from the Summit amongst you.
Dr. Jen Dyer, a.k.a., Endo Goddess filmed the next video of me trying cotton fiber candy for the get-go fourth dimension inward my life on Mon black at the Indianapolis Indians (Indy's Minor League Base Ball team) game together with I'm together with then grateful that she did!
THANKS @EndoGoddess!!  
Those of us at the Roche Summit attended the game together with had the chance to hangout, sentry the game together with truly swallow everything 1 truly eats at a base of operations game. Hots, hamburgers, cornbread, cookies & cotton fiber candy - And nobody judged anyone. 

Here's the thing, growing upwards amongst diabetes I was never truly allowed to swallow cotton fiber candy.
My parents idea that spun saccharide was non something a shaver amongst diabetes should live eating, together with then I never had it. 
Over the years all my type iii friends were ever amazed that I'd never tried it. 
Between you lot together with me, it didn't truly bother me because every fourth dimension I saw cotton fiber candy, I idea of fiber drinking glass together with never truly wanted to endeavor it. 
But when Marlene from Roche came to a greater extent than or less amongst a giant handbag filled amongst bags of cotton fiber candy at the game for everyone inward attendance - I couldn't resist. 
And the fact that I had the chance to endeavor it amongst people who truly "got" where I was coming from re: the province of affairs  and were  excited for me to depository fiscal establishment jibe cotton fiber candy of my "bucket list" made me truly desire to endeavor it. 

So hither I go....... 


"Kelly's Cotton Candy Experience: An Endo Goddess Production 
With H5N1 exceptional appearance past times Mr. Mike Lawson!

Verdict: Honestly, I wasn't impressed past times it. 
Cotton candy has a truly weird texture together with it's ridiculously sweet. I gauge I idea it would live to a greater extent than similar icing - It's totally not.

But the fact that I was surrounded past times my Diabetes On-line Community friends who were only every bit excited past times the fact that I was truly trying it for the get-go fourth dimension was SO INCREDIBLY AWESOME. And straight off my cotton fiber candy experience is 1 of those happy/funny moments inward my life that I volition never forget. 
And I decided to percentage it amongst my other Diabetes On-line Community friends who weren't in that place inward existent life, because I figured that all of us living amongst diabetes convey had those things that nosotros never were "allowed" to endeavor  because of our diabetes. 
And when nosotros finally create (and whether nosotros terminate upwards liking them or not,) it becomes a defining 2nd inward the feel that nosotros truly can endeavor it- Especially when no 1 judges us for it or tells us nosotros shouldn't! 

So create you lot convey an equivlent to the "Cotton Candy Experience" together with if so, delight experience complimentary to percentage if you lot want!!
