Hi, my names LiL and I live in Yeovil.

I'm looking for others who live in this area, with Type 1 diabetes to meet up for cups of tea and chat! Is there anyone out there?

I'm 30 years old, married with two lovely children and am a student nurse!

Please reply, we already have something in common!

Hi Becca,
Thanks for replying, I was starting to think there was no-one else around!

Newly diagnosed! Scary eh! What a horrid feeling.

I love this site, i've only just registered but have been checking it out for the past year or so. It's so useful!

Hi Lil,
A thread was started sometime ago entitled; Just being nosy - where is everyone from, this might help.Just be aware that some may no longer be active on the forum.

Thanks Graham,

I've had a good old nose and still no-one from anywhere remotely near me! I'm sure they are out there somewhere.
 
Yes I do! I might know you, I am 32 and have two kids! I am Type 1 (but slow onset!) and not very good at keeping control!

I would love to meet, I went to the help group meeting that DiabetesUK were going to set up but I was by far the youngest! I know that older people have a lot of good adivice to offer but it would be great to talk to someone with a similar lifestyle to my own. Do you work as well?

Blooming cheek, I'm not that much older than 32!! :lol:

Hiya Lil, found it funny finding your post here now, LOL!

Oh yeah, just in case you're wondering, tis Anne, treasurer for Yeovil and district voluntary group here
 
Hi there
I live in Taunton and was diagnosed with type 2 two days ago so I'm still in the land of the confused and ill-informed. :?
I don't quite fit your demographics - I am mid 40's, two children, moved from South Africa 18 months ago, but would love to have a cup of tea with someone who understands that a cup of tea is now fraught with complications and consequences...things were so much simpler last week!

Hi there,
Also live in Taunton, was diagnosed type 2 just over a year ago, have managed to lose 3 stone and get it under control but now winter is setting in looking for other sufferers maybe to keep fit with etc. etc, or maybe just have a chat. I saw the local diabetes group but they were advertising flower arranging and that wasnt really up my street. BTW just turned 40, married, dad of one little boy.
