[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1076994, member: 30007"] For me the biggest thing I've got out of the forum is getting involved in the online community and how it has lead to the offline community. Up until 2014 I was a lurker. Somewhere aim round the middle of that year I got properly involved and since then have become a fully paid up member of the Diabetes Online Community. I've made some great friends, been helped by some great people and been given great advice in relation to sorting out a pump (you all know who you are). Even better, for the first time in my life I met more than three other T1 diabetics, and they were all in the same room together. As a result I took an interest in participating in a number of activities outside the forum and have become involved in some of the work going on relating to changing DAFNE and the Health Innovation Network in South East London. I'm also investigating other opportunities that I wouldn't have considered before. So thank you to DCUK. It's given me the opportunity to participate and the realisation that I had something to put back in. [/QUOTE]
