I'm new here - can someone help, please?

[Linnie1]

I'd like to change my user name to something that isn't actually my real name? How do I do this? Can someone please help - I also need to know where I can find answers about how to use the forum in general? Thanks in advance for any helpful replies! xx

As a newbie, you will have restrictions until you have a few more posts!
the different forums are listed I in many places, , you can usuall y post on the different forums due to which ever type of diabetes or not you have or use the Ask a question forum!
Or use Recent posts, to get an overview of what is being posted.

there is a list of rules and reps on the Home page!

This is a knowledgeable resource with many posters who have gained great control and experience. And this site wouldn't exist, if the one size fits all medical advice, worked!

best wishes!
