I know loads of you on here are more familiar with the politics of this than I am, so I thought I'd check here that I've got the right end of the stick. As far as I can see, NICE doesn't actually specify the number of home blood tests you should do per day. Am I right? For Type 2s it says...

I've just received this and thought it might be of interest to others on here, since there's quite a DAFNE fan base out there. The DAFNE User Action Group (DUAG) have submitted an e-petition to the UK Government for national funded education programmes for people with diabetes. The petition...

hello everyone, long time no post. I hope you are all well. I have an odd problem I'd really welcome your thoughts on. I've been on a basal dose of about 18 or 17 for ages (years) and had very few problems with it. It's Lantus, but I had no side effects and it genuinely seemed to last 24...

I was just amazed to see this. Dedicated parents, or, um... a little mad? http://parenting.failblog.org/2012/01/0 ... h-the-boy/

all, I know about DAFNE, DESMOND, XPERT, BERTIE, and INSIGHT... has anyone been on, or know of, any other diabetes education courses? (including local ones that maybe just your clinic or a few clinics in the area run?)

It's been weird weather round here the last couple of days and I've had several occasions when I've felt hypo symptoms, checked my blood and I'm not hypo. Sometimes when that happens it is a clue that I'm about to drop low, but nope, haven't done that either. I was round my mum's at the weekend...

I've just been playing with this very useful calculator thingie: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/hba1c-to-bloo ... erter.html Can anyone at diabetes.co.uk help, where did you get the info from to make the calculator? i.e. there must be some scientific ratio that explains how hba1c translates to...

arghghg as many of you know I'm busy studying type 1, and most of the time I actually find it quite empowering to learn more and think about the issues. But today I am writing a chapter that just explains exactly how much work we have to do just to stay alive, and I'm deliberately writing it...

Hello pumpers! Being an injections type of gal (so far), I haven't looked around this bit of the site before, so please forgive this very basic question. Do you have a pump FAQ or newby answers section anyone could direct me to? I'm looking for very simple info - just things like, how...

Forgive me if this topic's been covered before - I did a search but couldn't find exactly what I wanted answers to, and the science is moving pretty fast so things may have changed. I was in my diabetes clinic the other day and was feeling annoyed that they never send you the results of HbA1c...

hello all, I'm new here so forgive me if this has already been asked - I did a search but nothing came up. Have any of you been on the Expert Patient Programme - http://www.expertpatients.co.uk/ - and if so what did you think? Actually, even if you haven't been on it, what do you think about...

hello... someone recommended this site to me so I thought I'd take a look. Nice to cyber-meet you all. What do you find most useful about it? Should I go into the topic section for type 1 and lurk there, (I'm type 1 btw) or would that be missing out? how do you all use the forum? I don't have...
