Back in May myself and Christine were interviewed by IrishTV's Clare Matters about Thriveabetes. We talked about our own diabetes. Christine spoke a little about her diagnosis and I spoke about all the tools I use to manage my diabetes. We also mentioned how we find great support from the diabetes online community and how Thriveabetes evolved from diabetes support. But that bit got cut. It was our first telly interview; so we have some improvements to make but it's a start. Watch here; IrishTV Clare Matters June 10, 2016 Forward to 05:21

Thank you to IrishTV's Sile and Klaus.
