Interesting stats Charlotte and I'm not surprised really, I can concur with all of the above from using this forum
 
Sounds good, but could we have numbers as well as percentages? Or could we know what percentage of the 80,000 responded?
 
This forum has been a lifeline to many people. I joined a year ago absolutely clueless and read lots and asked lots. Education really is the key to managing diabetes. I would have really struggled without this place !

edit for Andy: Can I borrow it mate? My cars acting like a right old bag of spanners at the moment-I promise to return it with a 'complimentary' Magic tree vanilla air freshener and promise not to take it to Santa Pod for a 'Run what ya brung' event! lol
 



lol sure, the general grabber tyres will mean you can corner at 3 miles an hours before flipping it
wo ive actually turned it into the mitsubishi owners forum lol, sorry
 
I am sure Andy will let you borrow it Paul because he runs every where

Anyone can borrow my car....of course you'd have to get yourself to NZ first
 
I never fail to LEARN something new everyweek 'here' at DCUK
Diabetes is a HUGE learning curve ...
The supportive community is a fantastic supportive bonus too .
As how many other diabetics do we actually meet daily/weekly ?
