Hi @Abba fan . Welcome to the forum. There's some great people here with loads of advice and experience, but with 33 yrs diagnosis I suspect you will have plenty to offer the rest of us.
I'm 27 yrs diagnosed now 53 yrs old and take thyroxine.
As for Abba............ absolutely one of the best groups ever. Loved them as a teenager and still spend time listening to them now, even though I'm a complete hard rock fan.

Hi and welcome to the group. I'm reasonably new to here as well but must say, everyone has been lovely and helpful. I am type 2 and love music, Abba, anything 80s as well as lots more.

..... I am relaxed sitting at home wondering what fate beholds of my diagnosis, browsing, learning and sympathising with all on this forum. My hubby, whilst so supportive but not diabetic and oblivious of what I am looking at and typing. I would be be truly lost without this forum, its been my best friend since being diagnosed. Ask anything, and you will be sure to get an answer but above all, you are not alone.

Except for when you are lost in the Sahara desert, then you are alone, also when you are lost at sea..:eek:
