As the title says!

You may have seen the trailer on Channel 4 on-going but it is actually next week that the programme covers diabetes, by the looks of it, lots of teens too and quite a bit of rebellion....

Ive been a fan of "The Hospital" since the first series for telling it like it is. Thsi series is just as good.

...I urge you all to tune in next week! 🙂
 
Cheers Lou, keep bumping it up nearer the time, for us memory challenged folk!
 
Ahhh you beat me to it Lou, i reckon a good idea would be to bump this nearer the time as people are likely to forget x
 
Thanks for tht sugarbum will tune in and have a watch
 
The trailer had this teen (i am guessing) welcoming people at a party, a bit wasted, saying "guess what, havnt taken any insulin all day, me"! Or something to the like? "I'll take some when I get home, honest".

I'm sure it will be compelling watching....

Something that'll make me shout at my laptop when I watch it. More importantly I'll want to go and crack the induviduals concerned one or two...
 
I'll watch it next week if i remember lol :D
 
Anyone watch this week's? That blonde girl 😱 "I'd eat a spider" I thought one of the doctors put it very well...people in less economically developed countries don't have such body worries thus don't ask for operations to be paid for (like the blonde girl!!)

yeah i watched when i was not hiding behind my cushion lol. silly !
 
Thanks Sugarbum, it's in the planner! 🙂

Not sure it's going to be easy viewing though... at least I'll know what people at work are on about though if they start making odd comments diabetes / complications related! 😱 Lets all hope it doesn't generalise or stereotype...fingers crossed! Thanks for flagging it up 🙂

yes, ive seen the trailer and that left me gobsmacked, been looking forward to watching it.
 
thanks for letting us know, ill be tuning in for sure 🙂
 
Can't wait to watch this. Didn't realise the whole episode was goiing to be diabetes related.

Love this series. We have all been saying "I'd even eat a spider" at work today.
 
Thanks for letting us know, I'll put it on sky-plus in case I forget, look forward to it and hope it's a positive one 🙂
 
Set to record, thanks for letting us know. Don't normally watch that programme.
 
No worries.....it will also be on 4 on demand (online) afterwards.

I think it's going to be love it, hate it, eye-opening, cringe-worthy and possably infuriating depending on if we are well represented.....who knows?
