Comment by Terrie on June 24, 2012 at 10:48pm Hey Nel: :)
Thanks for the invite. I enjoyed Dr. Blumer's video chat(full blast) while preparing supper and packing. He seems like a Good and patient Endo who knows his stuff(although I wonder about that 130/80? BP for a Diabetic's blood pressure, if I heard that right). I'm glad that Emily asked her questions. Those answers were informative also.
And missed 2 of our Canadian Tu members , who " might attend " ...it was around supper prep time for the Easterners ???
I am biased ...he still is one of my fav's !

Comment by Marie B on June 22, 2012 at 7:07am here's something that helps you find the time
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/
" Like most countries in Europe, Summer (Daylight-Saving) Con't " Time is observed in WET: Western European Time, where the time is shifted forward by 1 hour; 1 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT+1). "
If London is same as Amsterdam time then it is 10 pm ( maybe I should go to bed NOW , so I will be rested and recall my school days :) ...will someone verify please ??

Comment by glucosegirl on June 21, 2012 at 1:57pm Does anyone know what time this is in the UK?
Comment by Terrie on June 21, 2012 at 10:50am Okay! Thanks Nel. :)
Hi Terrie : yes 4-5 pm Ottawa time ...1-2 BC time .I asked Emily ..this is her response in short form :
Dr. Blumer will appear on the TuDiabetes homepage in the area that usually has the buttons that say "New to Diabetes", "Type 1", "Type 2" etc., and right below that will be an open chat room where any member who's signed in can write messages, ask questions etc. There's nothing special that you need to do, although sometimes members do have technical issues with the video part. If you have a problem just let me know in the chatbox below and I'll try to help you fix it.
It all sounds more confusing and complicated than it really is! Just log on and go to the home page and you'll see what's going on .
My concern was more the video part ...it will fall into place for us newbies :)
