Just over 2 years since I joined this forum and wanted to share just how much I love it. So many reasons:

- The simple joy of a space where no-one thinks cream in tea is crazy; everyone gets the frustration at diabetes seemingly having a mind of its own.

- The amazing knowledge and generosity of so many posters willing to share that knowledge and personal experiences.

- The support: genuine interest and pleasure in the success of others, and equally concern and willingness to help those finding things tough.

Finding this place has been transformational in so many ways. Who knew that online support could be like this. And I’m so fortunate to have met some of you in person that I’m now proud to call friends.

What a lovely message! All the best
 
Hear, hear! Well said.
 
@Goonergal what a great post and I can only bow to your knowledge, encouragement and support since I joined in Jan 18. Its no secret my most comfortable home is “What is your blood fasting number” although I dont think it tells the whole story but after I devoured the forum I know you dont have to turn up there because your control is legendary. But you do encourage everyone and I love that you talk about dark chocolate and other things that I wonder about. So thank you forum and thank you @Goonergal because I know I wouldnt have got to this stage without you all.
 
That post is positively positive, and you're right. So many helpful people in here, and you're one of them.
 
With you there in Spades.
Long may it be so.

Hey @Goonergal - if ever you need a Five Guys pal I’m up for the trip. Seeing your transformation has been amazing.
 
I feel the same as you @Goonergal
This forum is great. And it is the member support and shared experiences, both good and bad, that make it so.
And your own contributions are very much part of that.

@ickihun
Haven’t seen you post for a while. Hope you are OK?

Just don't forget to include yourself in the contributors. Part of the beauty of this place, in my view, is its diversity.
