Hi everyone, I just wanted to write something after the things I've read on this thread after I thought I'd origianlly replied in an honest manner. It appears that one does not have the right to an opinion unless you have diabetes. I now realise that if I did have diabetes and hadn't listed...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to write something after the things I've read on another post that I thought I'd replied to in an honest non-judgemental way. It appears that one does not have the right to an opinion unless you have diabetes. I now realise that if I did have diabetes and hadn't...

oh. sorry! :oops:

:D thank you Sue, it's really nice that some people don't have a chip on their shoulders, and appreciate others comments. :D

Hi, thanks for clarifying, that's put my mind at ease now! i just wanted to make sure i hadn't done anything inappropriate. thanks again

Hi, If no-one is willing to help because they think i'm after someone writing my talk for me, please let me explain. I don't need help in writing the talk, i've already done that bit. I just wondered if anyone had any quotes from health care practicioners that they found frustrating or...

Hi, I posted last week on here, but now i can't seem to find it; it's disappeared! I haven't had any 'warnings' and i didn't think i'd put anything in the post that was inappropriate. can anyone help me? cheers
