Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / August 2005Fame at last : )
I've just had Diabetes UK on the phone, asking if I'll do an interview with the Sunday Mirror : ) Scary. Diabetes UK want me to be positive about having diabetes and being able to control it. I wonder how often I can mention testing? : ) Wish me luck! Nicky.

Make sure that everything you say is what you feel is the really important stuff. That way when they edit it, there won't be any "filler" where good solid stuff should be. >> I've just had Diabetes UK on the phone, asking if I'll do > an [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > really important stuff.

Not a bat's chance of them doing that. I don't let anyone I've interviewed for an article do any more than check direct quotes for accuracy, otherwise the journo loses control - and it's their professional reputation and paycheck on the line.

Even if you are checking the quotes for accuracy you have a little bit of control. > I've just had Diabetes UK on the phone, asking if I'll do an interview with > the Sunday Mirror : ) Scary.

By the sounds of what Diabetes UK want from you they know you will mention your fight to test how else could they expect you 'to be positive about having diabetes and being able to control it.' I am sure you will handle the interview positively. Just stay calm and tell it as you found it to be. SignatureDaveT T1 on BeefL and humalog when needed |
