''Tis a bit of a shock. You almost had me convinced you'd be type 2. But here you go on another adventure and I'll be there every step! Diabuddy xx We need to make sure that they get you an appointment with a consultant now. And we'll have to see about that genetic testing at some point. Let...

Hi @Snapsy! It's amazing!! I can't believe how weird it is to not inject. I thought, 24 years not injecting, nearly 6 years injecting that not injecting would be second nature... but it's not. That's not making sense is it! [emoji846] It is hard work but my nurse is being fantastic and I'm...
