Wow, that's good. Is yours a picture too, or just the word Diabetic? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Oh yes I have saved it to my phone and will show it to my tattooist. I need to book in for my back to be touched up. Thank you. It's great. There is usually a nine month waiting list but I will add a pic once done Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
