You can spread the word without taking the free samples that are no use to you unless you are diabetic.


My DH has signed up as he has just had to start using insulin with his type 2 & the keyring is useful (in case of a hypo) as he always has his house keys on him.

The 'freebies' are of no use at all to someone who isn't diabetic. They're not designed to raise awareness - the wristbands etc are basically to inform people if you are type 1/2, have a pump, are insulin dependent etc. Very useful if you're diabetic, otherwise not. I'm type 1 diabetic and already a member. The freebies are really of little use as the hospital supplies cards etc with more detail, but the site does have excellent recipes, news and is a good support for people.
