What a shameful decision. This poor girl has enough to contend with without some 'Jobs Worth' being a right prat. For goodness sake get into the REAL world and see how it feels instead of denying this poor young lady of a trip to the cinema for only 99.9999999999999999999999999999% attendance...

Good thinking Batman.....lol.... Many Thanks Jack. That really makes sense, by going to the nurse with comprehensive results so she can determine whether or not the Insuman Basal is right for me? I've kept a BS/Food diary since January, so I have all of the data needed, I must remember to take...
