Spare a rose

[Diakat]

As Valentine's day approaches. Spare a thought for less fortunate diabetics and remember how lucky we are in the UK even if it is not perfect.

This campaign is for diabetics who have no access to insulin.

Lovely idea @Diakat Maybe also a time to check your insulin supplies and if there's stuff you're not using any more then donate it to https://www.insulinforlife.org/

Thanks @jucyj

I think sometimes we all get caught up in the "why can't I have a Libre/cgm/pump" thing and forget how fortunate we are.

How do you get it to them? I'm about to come off Lantus and have supplies that will be binned otherwise.

Lovely thread, and lovely idea.

We do moan a lot about our NHS and we shouldn't. We are so lucky, even compared with Europe and the USA
