Football. Bad manners.
They've emailed me and said I'll get a phone call soon. Apparently they've had a good response!

Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
Registered my details.
Wonder what they will do to us?

"Thank you for sending your details to the Help Diabeates campaign. Since the campaign began in October 2011, we’ve had a fantastic response from people who have diabetes and are interested in taking part in NHS research. We had a lot of coverage across local and national media that has resulted in a big increase in demand, with a lot of people registering in a short space of time.

While this is great news for us, it means our call centre now has a backlog of responses to work through which means it is taking longer to contact you. However, please don’t be put off as we’ll be in touch as soon as we can.

Thanks again for being a part of Help Diabeates.
"

So there may be a slight delay.

Hi all
I received a phone call today and had a very long chat with the lady, she stated that I will receive some information in the post. she was very shocked when I told her that I have been a type 1 diabetic for 50 years.

50years!?!? You don't look old enough gollymax!

Hope you didn't snap all the best opportunities to be a guniea pig for some exotic new diabetes drug gollymax :wink:
