Hi, my name is Lucy Diamond and I live in Cirencester, Gloucestershire. I am 42 and a Christian.
My personality: Polite, outgoing and fun.
I don't have any pets.
I can't choose between Microsoft/Apple as there are advantages and disadvantages with both. In my voluntary work, I use both.
I am not keen on playing sport, but I do like to walk ad much as I can. I prefer to watch sport and my favourite is Formula 1.
It's extremely rare for me to get angry.
No tattoos but had ears pierced.
I don't have favourite musicians/bands as I enjoy most music but do dislike rock.
No favourite flags. Haven't been camping but would like to.
Haven't used fake tan. I was in love a long time ago.
I've been to France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Norway. My favorite city is Oslo, Norway.
No favourite films/TV programs as I enjoy most genres.
I'm self-employed and have set up my own business.
A few agos, I completed a Business Studies course at a college in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.
I just like who I am in general and there isn't anything I dislike about myself.
My diagnosis is Type 2 diabetes.

Welcome, Lucy, from another T2.
Start a thread for yourself if there's anything you need to know about your diabetes.

People telling me how to control my diabetes. My health. Isms. People walking their dogs off leads in illegal areas. Meat that bleeds. Late buses.
What is your name? Sam
- How old are you? 23
- Are you male or female? F
- Which country are you from? Scotland
- Which city/area do you live in? West Lothian
- Are you religious? No. Atheist. Not spiritual either.
- Pick three words to describe your personality. Determined. Quirky. Curious.
- Do you have any pets? Personally I have a Lhasa Apso and I live with my parents who have another two Lhasa Apsos.
- Microsoft or Apple? Microsoft
- Which sport(s) (if any) do you like/play? I walk and do wii fit but other than that I don't take part as before the pump it ended in disaster and I have yet to get around to getting a gym membership. On the watching side I love Formula 1 and have been to Silvertone, tennis (Nottingham ATP and Roland Garros) and football. Real Madrid is my team and for my 18th I went without a party to go see Real Madrid play Barcelona instead. I went again the next year too. I'm a student and hate silence but study best when tennis is on because there is not too much to distract me but it isn't silent either.
- Do you get angry easily? I used to but I did a course in assertion as part of my anxiety therapy and I felt that helped me curb my anger a lot.
- Do you have any tattoos or piercings? If so, where? I have my ears done twice and a helix ear piercing and two tatoos on my right arm. One is a red and orange phoenix formed from flame and the other is 'was mich nicht umbringt macht mich stärker' in the same shade of red so it looks like one piece. It means 'what doesn't kill me makes me stronger' in the original German because I studied German up to university level.
- List your five favourite musicians/bands. Bon Joovi, 30 seconds to mars, fall out boy, muse, my chemical romance and a mix of pop, rap and wwe theme songs of all things.

- What is your favourite flag? Saltire. I wouldn't say it is the prettiest but I have a real burning sense of pride for it, especially after the past few years.
- Ever gone camping? Not since I was a child thankfully.
- Ever been in love? Unrequited. It isn't as horrendous as it seems I promise.
- Ever used fake tan? No.
- Which countries have you visited? Scotland, England, Wales, France, Portugal and Spain.
- Favourite city? Barcelona
- List your five favourite TV programmes. Law and Order SVU, NCIS, Buffy. Firefly, Law and Order
- List your five favourite films. Star Wars films. Marvel universe.
- Are you wealthy? No, but I have supportive parents.
- Do you work? If so, as what? In the near by zoo gift shop.
- List the subjects you study/have studied. I have a history degree and am about to do honours but I studied both French and German to university level and have a conversational Spanish thing too. (packed off to Spanish as part of the A4E nonsense. It was deemed the only subject not 'too easy' for me and was FAR too easy for me. urgh)
- What do you like most about yourself? My health is in tatters. Diabetes is only part of the long list but I never gave up.
- What do you like least about yourself? My body just doesn't WORK.
