Hey-ho everyone,

So I'm looking to set up a T1 support group in my local area for young adults, although now I feel I can't be restrictive of that as
a)I am not getting younger myself and
b)there is a whole raft of experience and advice those who have had diabetes for a while can offer.

So, my dilemma is a name for our group. I would like something modern & current as the only other local support group is one in the hospital and who on earth wants to meet up in a gloomy hospital!?!

I would have liked an acronym relating to a diabetic word but the only shortish word I can think of that is diabetes related is H.Y.P.O
- my mind is at a loss and wondered if anyone can suggest other possible acronyms that could be used.

You could always not have an acronym and just choose the word HYPO.

HYPO - xxx Type1 Networking Group
 
Type 1 Diabetes Youngsters (TIDY)

In the words of keith lemon, "That's a bang tidy idea".



I like it ALOT



I have the same problem suze, too old for the young adults (circle D) type groups and too young for the older groups (you know the ones that actually turn up to hospital groups).

We need a middle aged group!!!!!!!!!
