I have responded to T1 and T2 who have asked questions I can't answer by saying hello and explaining that I am tagging in people who CAN answer them. Surely it's better to acknowledge a newby regardless of type rather than leaving them feeling ignored?I would just post my thread in the Forum of the type I am, or would prefer responses from. I only ever post my fasting blood sugars in the type 2 thread for fasting levels for example.

Surely, as we are all individual and manage things in our own way, sharing our FBG's isn't actually helpful? Or am I over simplifying things? Just because 'Joe Bloggs' has a FBG of XX it doesn't mean I should aspire to the same or feel better about mine. We are all unique and comparing with others could be dangerous.Are any of you T1s, LADAs and 3cs interested in your own thread for FBGs or not? If it doesn't help you personally it may help others.

I do the same. Everyone needs a welcome.

41000 replies on one thread and 27000 on the other would suggest that not everyone feels the same as you. 'we are all different' springs to mind.....Surely, as we are all individual and manage things in our own way, sharing our FBG's isn't actually helpful? Or am I over simplifying things?

I don't post many new threads so don't actually think about that, but I will always look at the 'what's trending' threads and read with interest, contribute where I think I can be useful, or dismiss.We were talking about where to place a post in the first place to get the best response.
It can be very easy to miss which forum you land in if you go into a thread via ‘recent posts’ or ‘new posts’. It’s all too easy to fall into that trap! I certainly have in the past.I don't post many new threads so don't actually think about that, but I will always look at the 'what's trending' threads and read with interest, contribute where I think I can be useful, or dismiss.
Yes, several of us have tried to keep this thread on an even keel.So were the Mods called into this thread? I, as a T2 was not offended by any of the comments made about T2's. I took it as friendly banter - maybe others didn't take it as such?

I wouldn't even consider hitting the report button where you are concernedWe won't get that if T1s don't bother posting because they are outnumbered by T2s.
Maybe the report button would be useful if T1s feel that T2s are taking over T1 threads? (lol yeh I expect to be reported for posting on this thread now lol - but in my defence I feel I have been respecting T1s in doing so) We do need experienced T1s to guide newbies. Please T1s don't just stop posting because there are so many T2s. That's not going to help even things out.

Any of you guys use Facebook? We could set up a group/messenger group/WhatsApp thingy for the more bantery aspect, if anyone’s interested? I’d be happy to set up a group attached to my fb page, I think I have an option to do that. Or even a group PM thread on here?We need a “Friendly banter” friendly forum.
