Thanks Steff - catch up with again some time
 
I've just gone into panic mode about meeting you all tomorrow. Waaah. I dont want to be rubbish and ask everyone how they cope with diabetes (Ive only got 6 months diagnosed on my side) but Ive not been in the company of other diabetics. Im scared now. Do we talk about it??? or should I be me ( thats not diabetic me - which is different I say - Im 33 years old and scared suddenly of a meet with other diabetics - is this normal???
 
Hope you all have a great meet tomorrow 🙂

Don't panic we don't bite honest you will be fine we will be talking about anything and and everything
 
I've not been feeling great the past couple days so will see how I am tomorrow and may hop on a train if my parents will watch my kids as oh is nightshift.

Melissa, I'm in a similar position to you-8 months diagnosed and I'm just a couple years younger. Are you definitely going?
