[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 212781, member: 31282"] Hi Robbie, and welcome! I've just popped in to say hello - I'm a Type 2 so can't be a lot of help to you right now. However, there are plenty of experienced Type 1s on the forum who I'm sure will be along soon to help you with some advice. Get to the doctor/chemist first thing tomorrow! Get 2 pots of strips and then always remember to re-order when you open the second - make it a habit. And don't be afraid to call for help - NHS Direct or even 999 - if you feel really bad. Don't worry about 'being a bother' - under the circumstances they'd rather you bothered them! :wink: I have a Type 1 friend who is now in her 90s and can run rings round me - and the longest lived Type 1, in the US, has had it for over 80 years. The future isn't as bleak as you may think, so don't let it get you down. :D Viv 8) [/QUOTE]
