Merry Christmas one and all. Hoping you all have a great day with your loved ones, keep on top of your BG levels and stay safe and well :) x

I find this all really disturbing, I can absolutely see both sides of the ongoing argument but as a T1 I really do feel that this fine Is very harsh. Surely some form of warning could've been sent to advise that there wasnt a valid exemption card in place, if this was ignored and another...

Hi catherinecherub, your definitely right about that one! That sounds fab, I'll be sure to have a look at the link when I get my little one settled for bed :)

I know there was a dafne course 3 months ago but I didn't get a place as I was pregnant so was advised to wait until baby was here. I'll call the clinic tomorrow and enquire about it :)

I don't currently do carb counting Robert, my insulin is just a set dose at meal times hence why I'll be working on a trial and error basis. My DSN is far from a great support so Internet research and this app is my main support function

Thanks Robert, I'll take all the help I can get :)

I've been diabetic 6 years and have got a few tattoos over that period of time. Being diabetic doesn't mean you cannot get a tattoo, it just may take slightly longer for your skin to heal but all you need to do is have good control and keep an eye out for any parts that start to look infected :)
