I'm sure there's more.
If seven hundred people a week are being diagnosed then at least a thousand of them a week are going to show up here before long.
It'll be like a digital refugee crisis so I think someone will have to have a full time eighteen hours a day saying hello and welcome.

Don't ask me to meet and greet you already know l am pricklier than a porcupine and my picture isnt a lie it sums up my deal with life. Just need some quills out my backside so you get a Rhinospina....me
Added to that l woke from a short deep sleep cause the room is too hot even with the window open and the fan blasting so come downstairs and about to go sit on the swing seat outside starkers cause it is cooler.

I never did introduce myself. Sorry maybe I should start again?
Then if I did I could be someone else and maybe just be good enough not to upset anyone.

Or maybe I could just be a git and upset everyone. Sounds like more fun. But I am just a chicken which is why I don't have an avatar pic.

@Pipp, you are great as you are, oh person of mystery :happy:

Oh, and if you go through life without upsetting someone, you are doing something wrong :eek:

People who don't listen to others i.e. the 8 members of this forum I have put on ignore as they talk such utter **** all the time. This now includes the member who thinks they are a moderator.

No, Pipp I didn't introduce myself in the beginning either. If I had received the message to complete my account then I would have just walked away from the forum and not bothered posting. These bright ideas are all very well, but we are all different. Those of us who wanted to introduce ourselves always did and those who didn't, didn't. That's called choice. If I had seen a message like that then I would have felt obliged to introduce myself. I know it's only a light hearted message really, but I wouldn't have received it that way. When you start introducing more structure you lose something elsewhere. But then you know I'm a self-confessed Luddite, so I am not going to applaud 'progress' am I?

On the subject of the heat does it make anyone else's sugars go sky high? Over the weekend I started Saturday and Sunday 11 and 9.5 respectively! Nearly fainted, and didn't want to eat at all. Today I'm back to 6.1

Yes, it seems to be a common thing that BGs go up in this weather.

And I really don't like being told what to do by a computer :(

Me neither :mad::mad: - I got really ****** off when I saw that message popping up claiming my account setup was only 70% complete and I needed to introduce myself - after I've been fairly active on this forum for around 6 months...

And when I get riled, I get stressed, and when I get stressed, my blood pressure is liable to shoot up,and it's high enough already... And I can do without my so called support forum making me feel worse instead of better...

I think your non-introduction is brilliant Zand! :p I wish (I*'d thought of it first! ;)
