Hi everyone! I have no idea what to do on here. It's just took me about 20 minutes to figure out how to post! Thought I would introduce myself anyway.. I'm Amy! I'm 23 from Newcastle. Been type 1 diabetic for 14 years. Would love to get to know other diabetics. Even better if they were local

Howdy, everyone. Just joined an hour ago. Trying to figure out how to navigate this site and such. I am 59 years old, diagnosed in 2003 with type 2. Taking three (3) diabetic medications: Metformin, Tanzeum and Glimepiride. I am from state of Tennessee (USA) and interested in sharing/learning more about your efforts to control your diabetic condition. Have a great day, and I hope to share with you/learn from you soon. Thanks.

Hi everyone! I'm also an Amy I'm 21 and have been diabetic since the age of 7. I'm from Gloucestershire originally but I'm currently in my final year studying at the University of Manchester. I have never known anyone else with diabetes so its great to be able to meet people I can finally relate to!
