Gold Medal

[Heathenlass]

What a lovely surprise
Well done, you deserve it ! I think it's inspirational for newly and comparatively newly diagnosed people to know that the Big D Beest can be managed and it's not all doom and gloom

I look forward to your photo

I'm sure you'll get one, services to the music industry

LOL i don't know about that.. It's already a flooded market. Good fun though..!

I have just over 11 years to go on that one..! I'm actually angling for an OBE.

Lol I already have an OBE (well according to my car number plate I do)

Do you get the choice of just getting the medal through the post or can it be presented to you by someone in DUK say, they seem to make a bigger thing of it in America when someone reaches the 50 year mark.

Edited to add " whenever it was you received it " I read your post incorrectly and thought you had yours today too. But the sentiment still stands

Thank you everybody . Yes I do feel it would be nice for a bit more fuss to be made. Perhaps a presentation with newly diagnosed diabetics present to let them see you can live healthily and happily with Type 1

Great suggestion

I'm sure newbies to the forum who are concerned for the future will take some comfort by what you, yingtong, Carbsrok and others have achieved, well done all of you.
