Welcome to the community @Haemogoblin It's great to have you with us! How are you doing today?

Thanks for sharing that you've been living with diabetes since 1982. How do you find managing the condition?

As janer1967 has said, we have other members here who live with diabetes, so you're in good company. Please give us a shout if you need any help finding your way around.

Hi Tori_Scope,

I manage quite well with diabetes providing I can keep stress levels down! Stress can send my blood glucose into crazy mode. 

I manage my condition with the Freestyle sensor and beeps if blood glucose goes out of range, this helps tremendously.

Thank you for asking?

Hi @Haemogoblin

Thanks for providing us with more information about yourself. We always like to feel we get to know you. Though, this can also be about your hobbies and interests if you wish to talk to us about that. It is great to hear you have found ways to manage your diabetes. How are you currently feeling?

Hi @L_Volunteer,

I'm feeling pretty good thank you for asking and I'm very glad I have found this forum because how friendly, kind, considerate and understanding everybody has been and this also includes your self.

I am always a survivor and never a victim and this mentality helps me bounce back when I face the odd 'challenge' now and again?
