i will miss everyone on here 🙂 but at least i will be able to pop on every time i have a chance lol (maybe not everytime as i will be so close to the beach) :D
 
Hope all goes well for you Mike, you will be missed.
 
Sorry to see you go Mike, ermmm if you're going to pop on here from time to time, hows about me popping on one of those flying things and visiting? :D
 
Hi Mike ? I have started this as a new thread...hope you don't mind.
Personally - I would love to hear how you get on with your diabetes being treated in different country - ie the standard of care and if they treat it the same - and if their is a cost implication etc etc...although I have travelled extensively - I have never actually lived permanantly in another country with it! One thing I do expect is your insulin usage to go down in such a lovely climate... I can see it now...eyes closed....
 
Good luck with the [new?] job and the move and hope you don't miss the UK too much in that hot, sunny place! Look forward to the odd post letting us know how you're getting on. 🙂
 
Hey Mike, I wish you every happiness and success! The interweb is global though, so you really won't be any further away - hope all goes well with the planning and the move.🙂
