Tweetable quotes:

  “I would say, #walkingscienceexperiment, I’ve learnt more about this disease through trial and error. Even though our diagnosis is the same, our management is very different. The patient needs to make the decisions there.” - Amber Clour

“Insulin therapy is great therapy, it is however, a daily science experiment” - Dave Kliff 

 “If you don’t share with your loved ones and people that are touched by this disease, that you are having a bad day, and what that actually means, they are never going to understand.”. - Amber Clour
