Am has contacted Dom in the past. We should try again, really 🙂

 

[NiVZ]

Hello,

Dom should do a programme on DiDkA titled "Fake Diet Drinks"

NiVZ

 

[SacredHeart]

That would rock

 

[smile4loubie]

It so would!

Shall I add "research celebs with diabetes" to my to do list, to see who we can get on board? I could compile a contact list like I did for retailers/manufactures x

 

[SacredHeart]

That would be really useful, Lou. A lot of the lists out there are US based, so some UK based people would be useful. 🙂 I know Andrew Lloyd Webber is a T2

 

[smile4loubie]

Oki will see what I can do xx If you promise to have a weekend (or at least a day) off lol xxx

 

[SacredHeart]

lol. You've got yourself a deal, hon 🙂 x
