That was very thoughtful of them.
My GP did say he would apply for my one. If he does I shall pass it on to my Mum as she was the on who kept me on the straight and narrow and taught me how to look after myself so have grown up complication free.

For any diabetics who read this thread it is possible to live a good life with diabetes,I'm not kidding you it's easy but is possible and I only have couple of minor complications.
