I thought those of you who have submitted a message for my running tutu may like to see the first batch of tags that have been printed. Thank you everyone who has already submitted a message, there is still plenty of space if anyone else would like to include something :D

Hypos, rude people, ignorance and grey days.
My favourite saying is 'The drugs I take are to stop me from getting high' - otherwise for sport it's 'running sweet'.

Competitive sport. I'm more of a for fun type person.
Whenever I inject, I say 'just shooting up'. I use the 'I'm high' one. I got an awful glare once for saying that!

My other pancreas is an Animas (that one's mine :lol: )

Good luck with your run x

Since this is a great community project I'd love if we could help you raise some money from our Facebook/Twitter pages and maybe get you a whole load more things to put on your outfit! Do you have a page set up on JustGiving?

Afternoon SophiaW. A lovely thing to do for your daughter - do so hope it all goes well with you on the run. I was 4 when I was diagnosed on my mother's birthday, 30th September 1951. I still use animal insulin as 'human' insulin and I do not work well together. My slogan would be " Insulin dependent for 62 years, still alive & well".

Or something similar anyway. All best wishes to you.

Thank you Carroll and Tavia, have added your phrases :D Carroll, it's lovely to get feedback like this from someone who has had T1 for a long time, as a parent I always worry for my daughter's future so reassuring to know others have had it for a long time and still going strong :)

Hi Sophie ,

Its a lovely thing to do, I have a son who was also diagnosed T1 at 4.5 yrs, so know what you are going through.

On the words, how about, " Keep on testing, Daniel Aged 8, Liverpool".

Hope the training is going well. I have done a bit of JDRF Fundraising, but hope to do a cycle late summer.

Good Luck,

Lois

Great Idea Sophie, I've thought about raising money with my next run, but with only three weeks to go I don't think I'll have time.

Perhaps you could put this on your costume for me? "Diabetes is learning to live with me" Dave, aged 39
