Hi @JoeeoJ , welcome to the forum.

This thread is exactly what it seems: A lighthearted way of intruducing ourselves and not a wicked way to pry out information to use in advertising. (In fact, once you've signed up there are no advertisements on the forum at all, thankfully.)

But this is an open forum, free for all to read without signing up, including robots.

Hi. I’m 72 and T2. After many years with high blood sugar that could not be controlled by Metformin I was eventually referred to a DSN. I am now on insulin 4 times a day. Although it’s brought my numbers down they are still a bit erratic. I can have exactly the same food for 2 days and my numbers vary. Hopefully I can get the numbers down to the correct level. I’m looking forward to reading the posts on the forum and I am sure they will be helpful.

Hi
how do I get to answer the questions without actually writing them out again!
Hi @suediamond & welcome to the forum :)

You don’t need to answer the questions if you don’t want to - it’s just a nice way to introduce yourself to the forum, not everyone does it, if you like you could just write a little bit about yourself whatever you feel you’d like to share. You could quote the post and type your answers in or maybe copy & paste, don’t know if that would work for you
