[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2131765, member: 345386"] We have a real mixture in our local group - in terms of age, type and complexity. I think "make a difference" can be in unexpected forms, at unexpected times. For me it's a long game, but a long game with nice folks playing, sometimes to different rules to me. We all make choices. Whilst I can't say I have modified my personal approach or choices by being in the group, I have learned a lot about diabetes, folks' approaches to it, and made some firm friends. My local group was also my "gateway" to our local Research Centre, which is a fascinating and fabulous environment, populated by people deeply passionate about making a difference in their field. When I went to my first meeting, I just wanted to see what it was all about. On the above basis, I got way more than I quite bargained for. [/QUOTE]
