I saw this news article today and came here to ask the same question. The article didn't specify if this will affect all types of diabetes or maybe for t2s. Either way it's a shortsighted decision.

Dave, Hopefully it will be drier weather conditions for you this year! Although I hope it's a little cooler on your run day compared to how it is now. :D Thanks for the words ArtyFarty, busy printing and laminating now so will add yours in quickly :D

Thanks Dave, I've added your words :D I think you're incredible to run an ultra, wow I can't imagine what it's like to run that far I feel half dead and exhaused after only 10k! Good luck with your run in August :thumbup:

Thanks for the words Lois, Barrie and Zaf - have added them to my printing page :D Lois, thank you training is going well - good luck with your cycle later in the summer :D

Glad to hear your wife is pointing out the collection tub, I noticed at our Tesco they're kind of out of sight at the till so I think most people don't notice it's there which is a shame.

Re: Pump and hot weather = nightmare! My daughter gets hypos in the hot weather so we've been making lots of pump changes recently. For us the pump has made it easier to control, usually with injections we wouldn't have had the instant effect to changes like we get with the pump. Hope you can...

Just wanted to see if anyone here will be volunteering to help collect funds at one of the Tesco stores later this year? I'll be volunteering at the Guildford store on 6th October 10am-1pm, if anyone wants to join my shift it would be nice to meet up or if you're in the area maybe stop by and...

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 :)

Thank you that would be wonderful! :D I have a Facebook Page and a JustGiving Page, any extra help always much appreciated x

These are all great, thank you will add them to the list for next printing batch :D

Thanks for the additional phrases, will make sure they are added, thank you! :D

I thought those of you who have contributed a phrase for my running tutu might like to see what it's looking like, still space if anyone else would like to contribute some words for me to attach :D https://www.facebook.com/runfortype1diabetes

My daughter was 4 when she was diagnosed, so a little older but still very young to have to cope with it all. I remember the nurses telling me that she will get used to it all and even be coming to me asking for her finger to be pricked or injections to be done - ha! fat chance of that ever...

That's perfect, thank you! Will add to my list of phrases :D

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...

What size needles is your mum using? You get different sizes, perhaps a smaller and finer needle would make injecting more comfortable for her (assuming she's not already using the smallest available). Does she rotate her injection sites enough? Injecting into lumps can be painful, lumps can...

Hi Hilary, do you carb count or do you inject a set number of units for each of your 3 meals? If you're carb counting and you eat a meal with no/low carbs then you'll find that you need very little or no insulin anyway based on the number of carbs in your meal. Your basal insulin, stress...

I've found trying to manage my daughter's type 1 and exercise to be the most challenging part of diabetes, it's not easy! Have a look for a website called "runsweet", you may be able to find some info to help you further.

Thanks, have added your words :D

lol, that made me laugh re Oscar :lol: I've updated his age :wink: Thanks faeoj and carly - got yours saved for printing as well :D
