Hi Everyone - and pleased to meet you all. U can see from my heading what's with me & diabetes. I have a son who is 32 & became a Type 1 a few yrs ago. We are both still really healthy which is the main thing. I hope to make some friends on here. I live in Cornwall

Hi April and welcome to the forum :) I'm glad to hear you are both really healthy. However a bit of advice still won't come amiss even though I know you are not new to diabetes. Here is some basic information which lays out the forum monitors' ideas of looking after your diabetes which might be different from what you have heard up to now. This is what we believe in. I am sorry if I am just repeating what you already know. Here is the link to the information:

You will find so much more information on this forum and if there is anything at all you would like to know then post a question and someone is bound to know the answer. We all look forward to getting to know you. :)
