I'm hosting the #GBDoc Quiz #Halloween special this Thursday (26 Oct) from 8pm.
The quiz happens on Zoom and, whilst it's nice to see our dia-buddies, it's also cool to join quietly with your camera off if you prefer.
#t1d, #t2d, #MODY whatever your flavour it's all good including friends and family with #tFd.

Q2. In South Wales you are either "Baaad in bed" or "Baaad under the doctor" and both require a Cwtch. When you became #diabetic how did your understanding of levels of illness change? #GBDoc

Q1. I'm a swimmer and did my training session last night. I find having an active lifestyle also keeps the bugs away. What do you do to keep yourself healthy in body and mind? #GBDoc

Q5. No one should feel that they have to hide their #diabetes. What's your advice for people who maybe don't have the confidence to disclose, or find themselves in situations where they feel they can't? #GBDoc
