Forums Now Open!

We're happy to announce the Forums are now open. The Diabetes Forum is only a few days old and as such it's a bit of a ghost town, but we're hoping before long people will be exchanging thoughts and experiences. If you are a Practitioner and would like to be a Forum moderator, please contact us. Don't be shy, be the first to post in the forums.
