You might be able to get a cheap ticket to London, Rosie, that's not too bad a trip! 🙂 Leeds-Southampton is a tricky trip to do in a day, I agree! 😱

I can probably do the London one! Enough time to get a pretty cheap ticket and it's only one journey. Can easily sleep on the train!

Plus it's 10 days before my birthday so all gifts accepted LOL 😉

Hi ,
The meet is genearlly just a get together of members who can make the location, people bring along there partners or even children to, its just a nice occasion to put faces to names and all topics of conversation are welcomed.
 
Ok, that sounds nice. I would like to try and get spend some time with groups of fellow diabetics to try and get a better grasp on the nitty gritty of the disease ... I have found muck of my GP's approach useless in truth.

Hi @inthemix69, as @Steff says, they are very informal - it's just nice to be able to spend time with people who don't glaze over if you mention diabetes, but the conversations don't have to be all about diabetes 🙂 There's no bigwig representatives giving educational talks or anything 🙂

You will be very welcome! 🙂
 
Dont put yourself down there Alan haha I thought that was your primary role haha x
 
Another Southampton meet? EEK! I'll see if I can pop along!
 
I'd love to join you Alan and the rest of the forum members but unfortunately i can't make it on this occasion (Timby on the 6th) but will try to make it to the next Southampton meet whenever that is - or another meet closer to home - Have a great time all of you - can't wait to hear all about it :D
