Hello you! Shoot Up is a community of people who live with diabetes. We have a diabetes forum and a blog written by Tim & Alison who are both lucky enough to be pancreatically-challenged.

Feel free to see what’s going on in the activity stream and to pitch in with your views & comments on the blog and on the forums. To post on Shoot Up it’s easiest if you create an account but you can post anonymously if you prefer. If you’re not sure how blogs and forums work, we have a handy guide. Finally, if you can’t be bothered reading, watch us on our YouTube channel.
