I am sorry I am going to miss it. I sometimes feel quite alone in my diabetic hell and would love the chance to meet other diabetics. Does anyone happen to be in the North Tyneside area that would like to chat?
Regards,

Hi Sarah, there's a few of us in the North East. I'm in Hartlepool.

I think I'm going to drive up from Dewsbury and use the Park and Ride at Askham Bar. Does anyone need a lift or is anyone else going to use the park and ride there so we can meet up and travel together? Probably going M1, A1M and A64. Can get off the bus at the Rail Station so will time it so I can meet up with the rest of you. What time are we going to meet at the station and where (under the clock wearing carnations lol)?

Thank you Richard,
I live in Tynemouth (originally from Buckinghamshire, but living in the north east for 9 years now). I have Type 2 diabetes since 2000, previously undiagnosed for approximately for 3 years prior to that.
If you would like to correspond privately, you can find me on msn or email...xxx
Many thanks,
Sarah
