Today I went to Cardiff.
Today I left my insulin pen in my kitchen.
Today I frantically text all my D-friends that I have numbers for. One very bright spark, Tom, suggested I went to a pharmacy and beg them for insulin. Which I did - and the lovely pharmacist in Boots in Cardiff gave me an emergency prescription of a Flexpen with Novorapid in it. Yay! Success! Our day was lovely, we wandered around the city for a while, I had a lovely hypo in the museum and got the giggles BIG TIME. I was down to 2.9 and I just couldn't stop laughing - I honestly think that people must have thought I was drunk. Oh well. We went down to the Bay area too and had pizza for lunch. It was very windy but a really nice day out.
Tomorrow I get a lie in! Hurrah. Then on Saturday I go to London and meet a lovely bunch of other people with diabetes! Yayyy!

I'm glad that it worked out for you, getting the insulin from a pharmacist. I may recollect wrongly, but wasn't there an article by Arthur Smith in the DUK mag, saying that he was refused insulin - like you'd make up that you needed it! I've never been to Cardiff - I must visit some time.
Cardiff is lovely, we saw the main city centre, the National Museum and the Cardiff Bay area. we plan to go back sometime in the future.
