Hey. I joined in October 2015 - I am wondering if the wrist bands, key rings..and even a free meter at one point..I selected (as part of a membership offer), were hijacked by diabetic pirates on route. Six months later - not a trace. Anyone else have this experience or am I just unlucky? What are the chances of me receiving anything before managing to reverse my condition (yes - that is sarcasm)?:meh:
 
3+ Months and counting, but not overly fussed as my old mother would say, if it sounds too good.....blah blah blah
 
Hi there - they have been going out (we've seen selfies on Facebook, so we know they're reaching their destination). Can you PM me your email address and we'll take a look and see where it is?
 
Thanks @Administrator
I had mine delivered on Saturday, it's not quite what I ordered, but the keyring is ace.
I'll give the wrong bits to charity next time I donate, as the wristband was for type 2 on insulin and I'm not, and the pass me the bacon badge I'm low carb, doesn't feel right as a vegetarian :D but the key strap is good.
Thanks again.
 
I keep having emails telling me I am entitled to a free verio touch meter. Then on the one occasion I filled in the form to see what what would happen, was told I was not eligible. Not bothered about the meter, but the emails I continue to receive offering one are getting tedious.

Tedious, yes...but then I was "eligible"...still waiting...I think Godot will arrive first (probably with a wee red band for the wrong type of diabetes).

lol one of my favourite shows, I saw it three time in one week a few years ago.

I'll tag @Administrator, mine arrived within a week after sending them my email address, inside the pack there was an apology note it was obviously admin intervention, So fair play to admin for sorting it.

I've been told it is on the list to dispatch this week, will update you ASAP.

We've had a bit of a struggle with the organisation that dispatches the items, so we've started to do them ourselves! Sorry about the inconvenience - people have been sharing selfies on Facebook/Twitter so they're definitely going out! :pompous:

That shouldn't happen, certainly if you applied before. Do you mind if I look into that?

Be my guest.
I really do not want a meter, though. Thanks. Happy with my own monitoring system.

Package arrived today :woot: nice wee bacon badge, nice wee Type 2 keyring and lovely "I'm not Drunk; I'm Diabetic" band. Thanks for your help - much appreciated...faith restored (I think it even lowered by blood sugar..almost).

I like wrist bands, but mine hasn't turned up, and I'd long forgotten about it. Glad yours has arrived! :)
