Hi, does anyone on here use 8mm needles? I’m just curious as a around a month and a half ago my mum had a phone call from the diabetic nurse at the gp practice (she goes to the hospital for this) who was talking to her like she was 5 years old and kept saying she was concerned for her safety...

I eat a packet of twirl bites every evening.

Leg ulcers can be nasty things to have. My mum has them and there doesn’t seem as though they will ever heel. She’s had them a good few years now.

I use semi skimmed milk.

I would not tell them I’m diabetic in the first place. If I want something done I’ll have it done. I have this attitude now after once asking about a massage and when I said I was diabetic they wouldn’t do it. I also do not say I’m diabetic if I’m applying for a job either.

I wouldn’t normally ask on here but I have 1 eye that’s sort of hurts as though I’ve got something in it but it feels like my eye is blood shot. Would it be best to ‘try’ and get in at my drs or go to an opticians?

To me it has a medical smell.

I’ve had blood sugars in the 20s and 30’s and felt no different.

Yes both my a1c went up and so did the weight I lost!

I don’t even get up in the night!

No definitely not, I’ve had very high blood sugars in the late 20’s and early 30’s but had no affect on me at all. If I hadn’t tested to know I was that high then I wouldn’t know. I’d been once been to an appointment's at my drs and had bloods taken. The dr rang me when I got home and a real...

I like macadamias and love unsalted cashews!

I used to have 1 it was good. Wish I still had it.

Im on metformin 2 twice a day and I don’t take them with food.

I used to get bad cramp after being at work 12 1/2 hour shifts on my feet. I tried magnesium supplements they worked for a very short while. I’m now prescribed Qunine and haven’t had cramp since!

For my feet they’ve just checked pulses and used a machine that creates a vibration and I have to say when I feel it. Never had my feet looked at for cuts/sores or dry heels.

Hi, Has anyone been started on this yet?

Hi, it wasn’t a new pen. It wouldn’t have been between 9.30/10.30. I always wash hands before testing too.

Yes my normal dose. I’m on metformin but have run out, empaglaflozin and another that’s starts with D but can’t remember the name. No I don’t eat breakfast only when I’m at work. I have my lantus anytime between 5am up to 11am. This day it was at around 9 am. I tested about 2pm when it was...

I have 14 units of lantus in the morning and 10 units at bed time. Hadn’t eaten anything.
