Hi all!

I hope this finds you all well! Ok, so I messaged admin a little while ago, but got the go ahead to do this, so I'm hoping this is all still okay!

For a little while now, Lizzie (Lizabetic) and I have been slowly but surely setting up some online support for students with diabetes. At the moment, we have a facebook group and we're currently voting on a formal group name. If you are interested in joining, please come find us at

https://www.facebook.com/groups/342330325808929/

or message me on here for more details.

Good stuff Vicki and Lizzie 🙂 I hope it's a great success and helps a lot of people! (Don't forget to tell them about us too 😉)
 
May also sometimes be worth remembering that lecturing staff can be
diabetics...whenever I find out that a student of mine is diabetic, like I did the other day.....I always say come and see me anytime you want to chat because I've got 41 years of experience and understand what it's like
 
PS well done on setting up the support group for students.....I wish that something like that had existed when I was a student
 
That's a great idea - well done!
 
Thanks everyone!
