I just saw this post. Thanks for sharing! The problem with EDs is that you never truly get over it. There's always that voice in your head telling you that you need to lose weight. Ie been struggling a lot lately, but I'm going to speak to my doctor about this med you've mentioned, how long have...

Sorry, I didn't mean you! I meant it as a general remark for those people who are like, suck it up & asking why I'm offended. I'm sorry it was misconstrued I wasn't lashing out at you [emoji4]

Absolutely, couldn't say it better myself! I'm the same! But you know what @serenity648 ? I'd take being an emotional, compassionate person any day as opposed to being cold & uncaring! [emoji4]

It is a forum for all diabetics, you're right. And I agree on what you said about the news article. But I'm not changing my opinions or principals for someone who's probably never been bullied for their condition, or been made to feel bad about it. And before I get it thrown at me, I am not...

Also thanks for calling my ideas ridiculous. Nice.

Would I? In all honesty, probably. It's something I feel very strongly about & I feel like this section of the forum is for just that purpose? Please don't patronise & insult me by calling me emotional & illogical, that's not cool. Like I said before, I respect you're entitled to an opinion & I...

That's absolutely fine, that is your opinion & you are entitled to it. As am I and the other people who agree with me. If the thread annoys you, or you don't agree with it, don't comment. Simples! :)

Love this! Thanks for sharing, a far superior read!! :)

There's a few people on here failing to see what is offensive about the artcle, and FYI I doubt any of us who have taken exception to the article are looking to be offended, that's just ludicrous! But d'you know what, I am fed-up and nothing is going to change that! I like many of you am T1. I...

No need to apologise - you got it bob on. After 19 years (I realise compared to some of you I'm still a newb as far as diabetes goes!) I'm a bit fed up now of people wrongly assuming I was a fat kid/lazy/bad lifestyle - so far from the truth; is I grew up on a farm, so was active from dawn til...

Yes, when I first got my pump & realised I could control my insulin all the time, I naively thought I could eat whatever I wanted, but after my weight started to go up, as did my sugar spikes, I realised this is simply not the case! I still have some carbs in my diet, and occasionally will have...

The pain you mentioned sounds a bit like mine; I got diagnosed with sciatica, a smushed disc & scoliosis a while back & am now on tramadol hydrochloride a few times a day. It helps a little bit, but I don't think pain ever gets removed completely. That said, I was on codeine and naproxen for...

That's what I love about this forum, you always learn something new!

Haha, maybe animal nuts like me would love to read about the old lady getting reunited with her feline...but I totally get your point, it's not everyone's cup of tea! (though that does sound like an article my local paper would print - I live in a VERY small area, latest news grabbing headline...

Hi Alastair! Welcome :) I only joined the forum a few months ago, but I've found it to be really helpful with information & everyone on here is super supportive!

When I got diagnosed as epileptic & started taking my meds, they made me SO ill I was throwing up virtually all day, so my doctor prescribed anti sickness pills for a few weeks, just until my body got used to them. Idk anything really about taking metformin, but is it a similar thing in that...

Congratulations on you weight loss :) Have you been referred to a clinic to see a specialist at all? My GP is pretty useless as far as the diabetes goes, as lovely as he is he's not savvy on the condition like my specialist is.

I also developed PCOS later on in life, after getting T1 (I was 10 when I got diagnosed). I often wondered if the PCOS is linked to my diabetes in some way? Do you think that it's possible after being diagnosed as T1, being hormone related it's caused the development of the PCOS? I've never...

Hey guys, Haven't been around much lately, but I read this article this morning & my blood pressure went up oh-so-slightly to say the least! Now I know it's pretty obvious from past rants how I feel about the media's blatant rubbish mongering, but this article from BBC is truly fabulous (of...

I did! So much so that I'm going to find it online & post the hell out of it on Facebook & Instagram!! :p:p
