Hi Rod, it's only been 3 months for me, still feel like a newbie, but I've learned so much from the good people on this forum, I'll always be grateful. I know I wouldn't be doing so well if I was left to my own devices. It's easy enough to pick up facts and figures from the internet, but 'hearing' it from actual people kinda humanises it all and makes it easier to take in. Also reading what other people are feeling/exeriencing/going through makes it all relative.

Welcome to the forum.

Hi Helen,

I have had so many warm welcomes here in the last few hours! Thank you for the most recent!!

Its always good to share experiances, good or bad! I seem to be ok at the moment, having to tighten the control a little. It would seem all the summer BBQs & nights out have riased my latest hbA1 a little! OOps!

PERsonally, I find it easier (well, a BIT !!) in the winter (I've not knowingly been diabetic before in winter, but always been overweight and dieting !), don't feel so tempted by naughties and can fill up with lotsa home made soup and casseroles and hot dinners with veggies. I know some find the summer easier, with salads etc, but at least I don't have to avoid takeaways and ice cream (swoooooooooooooooooooon!!) so much in the colder months. Course, I'm taking Christmas right out of that equation!! :D

Hope you don't find it too tricky to bring it all back under control !

Hi Rod and welcome to the forum!:D

My son is 11 been diagnosed type 1 for 11 months and is now on a pump. He/we love the pump - much easier to sort things out. I am sure you will have lots of tips and advice on things - so feel free to join the general message board and fire away!🙂Bev
 
Hello Rod,

A belated welcome from a fellow type one. I was diagnosed when I was five.

Hi Rod welcome to the forum. I see you live near Bournemouth, my daughter and I like to go down to the beach in the summer, we catch the train then get the bus down to the beach, but we didn't get go this year:( Sheena
 
I think there's been a mistake here. Rod hasn't been on the forum since June, 2010 and the previous post here was in October 2009.

I'll close the thread to avoid any further misposting/confusion.

Andy
