Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Hey Forumites!!

This is a space for members new and old, to gather around and help make our newer members feel welcome!

We've all been newbies ourselves at some point, and can empathise with how incredibly daunting it can be entering a new space. A lot of folks have trouble even knowing where to start, and (even though we're in the midst of improving it all) we know the forums can be a tricky space to navigate - which can make it very difficult for newbies to be able to find their footing! On top of that, joining any established community means being 'the new kid on the block', and seeing others connecting easily with established relationships can sometimes feel like we aren't welcome, or that we need to 'break in' to the conversation somehow.

Well this space aims to alleviate that pressure and help facilitate some new connections! Whether you're brand new here or you've been here since the very beginning, you're welcome to come hang out, meet some new people, reconnect with others, and maybe even make a new friend!

We will try to tag new members as they join, so help us make them feel welcome!

Here's today's newest forumites:

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

@tyme @Thanks that would be really helpful I’ve been on insulin for about 3 years now but always found it hard to manage. I was increasing it all the time till they changed the brand on Tuesday and the dosage might need to adjust the dosage a bit nothing is perfect I guess it’ll work out just need to give it time and have lots of patience and try to relax if I can

Hello @Happychick , @tyme

I am now on insulin 3 times a day plus 2 other diabetes medication

Are you on NDSS for all your diabetes needs

Sometimes it is hard to get the right balance

My dosage has increased and it does take time for the body to adjust

Sending you lots of understanding hugs my friend 🧡

Please tag me and ask me any questions

We also have a thread that you can click onto called Diabetes and mental health and have a look and to share

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Awesome to be part of this community. Just a small town dad with a bit of a tumultuous extended family and I swing between ADHD energy to the duldrums, depending on the weather and how lactose I've had :s Look forward to some chats on here.
