Nicky they were neither polite nor impolite... they simply did not
respond.

However, one of the Chief honchos of the BDEC (Bournemouth Department
of Endocrinology) who do the BERTIE course, has been caught lurking on
our website. We will see if he posts... or contacts admin to say
"stop recommending our online course". I suspect it will be neither!

I suspect he is a good guy... as admin I had access to his email addy
and tracked him down and he is one of the founders of the T1 education
network. Good stuff there. Google it.

I liked the eye doctress's way of seeing it: "it is your responsability".
Because that is how it is.

Just went to the GP, it is time for the blood test, and mentioned the nail
and eye issue. Results should be in monday, I'll see the GP again thursday.

My brother is doing well btw.


Kind regards

It's disappointing that the good ones are good despite the system
rather than because of it.
