Evening everybody
My name is Brian, Type 1 diabetic.
Medtronic 640g insulin pumper, previously on Lantus, then Levemir, and always Novorapid.
Very active on the DOC but new to this forum.
I am involved in arranging and running the T1D London meetups group on Facebook.
Also run my own website for PWD.
Nice to meet you all on here.

Hello Brian and welcome to the forum 🙂. Excuse my ignorance, but can you explain what the DOC and PWD are?

We too are having a meet up in a London in November, it would be great if you could make it.

The meetups are great, it is by far the biggest positive I draw from having type one.
