Dislikes
Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
Through Diabetes Voices I have been invited to this conference as a patient voice (or perhaps an impatient voice??).

I am posting here to ask for any burning issues the forum would like to see raised, and in which break out session (noting that I'm only one of me and so can only attend two of the four).

Can't think of anything at the moment, but enjoy your day.
 
Up at some unearthly hour to catch the 06:36 train so I arrive only about 15 minutes after the start of registration - not my idea of fun!

I suppose I could go an hour later and miss the start of the chair's introduction and be conspicuous as I walk in late.
Ah, decisions, decisions.

Anyway, anyone with strong views on test strips, pumps, NICE diet recommendations etc. feel free to let me know.

Looking for anything you want/think you deserve for your diabetes care which you cannot get at the moment.
