Gold Medal

What a lovely surprise :)
Well done, you deserve it ! I think it's inspirational for newly and comparatively newly diagnosed people to know that the Big D Beest can be managed and it's not all doom and gloom :)

I look forward to your photo:D

Do you get the choice of just getting the medal through the post or can it be presented to you by someone in DUK say, they seem to make a bigger thing of it in America when someone reaches the 50 year mark.

Edited to add " whenever it was you received it " ;):rolleyes: I read your post incorrectly and thought you had yours today too. But the sentiment still stands :D
 
Thank you everybody :). Yes I do feel it would be nice for a bit more fuss to be made. Perhaps a presentation with newly diagnosed diabetics present to let them see you can live healthily and happily with Type 1 :):D

Great suggestion :)

I'm sure newbies to the forum who are concerned for the future will take some comfort by what you, yingtong, Carbsrok and others have achieved, well done all of you.
