Hiya laura welcome to the forum!!

I am glad you found me on facebook as well 🙂 let me know if u wanna chat about anything and ask anything on the forum, these guys are really supportive and helpful, no question to small or big 🙂 x
 
Hey Laura,

Welcome to the site. I only joined this week and have had quite an insight for a lot of things.
I have been diabetic for 27 years now (old timer) but still young 😉 and have learnt a few things too!
As you can see i do kickboxing but have a 4 year old daughter and have done a fair bit of travelling as well amongst other things and have never thought that diabetes would or could get in my way.

Anytime you have a question just ask as there is always someone (myself included) who will help and assist.

Regards Bernie x
 
Hi everyone,

Already this seems like it could be so helpful in so many ways (advice, place to vent etc..) Thanks everyone for the welcome 🙂 I look forward to chatting to you all.

Laura.

Hi Bernie,

Wow, its really great to know all of the things you can achieve and do even with diabetes, its really positive to know. I bet you've learnt loads over the past 27 years, you'll be an expert on it, so I'll def know where to come for advice 🙂

Hope you're well.

Laura 🙂

Hey Laura,

Yes alls good (am at work at the mo) tee hee. Feel free to add me on facebook too (and anyone else too 🙂 )!

'Bernice CARTER' is my name and my photo is a picture of a sign in the soil re a flower that is called 'hot lips' (love it) 😛

Hope you are coping ok with it all as you are newly diagnosed? I find that as i have been T1 for so long i don't really think about it (if that makes sense) and is second nature to me now. I have my ups and downs with it (we all do) and find it near impossible to have perfect results day in day out but i just react to it all accordingly. Feel free to chat anytime, either PM me on here or on f/bk.

Bernie xx
