Diabetes Insulin Adjustment for Normal Eating Hello guys:) So I finished my final day of the DIANE course and would just like to say that I was very impressed. The course I attended is very similar to the DAFNE course (which you'll hear about regularly on the forum) although is has a...

Hey guys. So, back from work and kick starting my health a bit to try and shake off fatigue that I've been feeling of late - by adding as much nutrition to my diet as possible. So I've joined my better half on the juicing front. Some interesting results if you want to call them that... Today...

Hello guys! So Monday turned out to be one of the best days of my diabetic career; BG management wise:) -Overnight BG was stable. -I woke before DP took me out of range. -Correction bolus for my waking rise worked fast enough to keep me in range. -Advanced bolused for my breakfast and got the...

Morning all:) Visited my GP this morning to discuss treatment options available for varicosis. Whilst I was there, I asked for a run down of results from bloods drawn a few months ago when I visited due to being constantly tired. As I never heard anything from from my GP (no news is good...

Hello everyone! Just wanting to know if anyone here has had treatment for varicose veins? I was lucky enough to start getting these when I was just 18 and they're a bit of a pain... They do get a little uncomfortable when I'm standing for long periods (such as at work) and the like, but they're...

RH; does that go hand in hand with T2 or not? (post moved by mod from the 'Improving Sleep' thread, because the discussion got so interesting it deserved its own thread :) )

Still no name, but we're thinking either Floyd or Dylan. He's a cute wee thing though - having dreams of chasing cats beside me right now!

So over the last few months it would seem that my overnight BG's have just gone totally bananas... There's been no changes to my lifestyle that I can think would be of any significance to warrant this other than the effects of DP... My day time sugars are typically good, and in range enough to...

Globally, we have the knowledge and "finances" to send astronauts into outer space and land on our own moon... We have sent robots to Mars; and satellites further afield - exploring our Cosmos when we barely know anything about our own planet!? I find it amusing how we had the "basic tech" to...

Hi guys! Having a bit of an issue with injecting Levemir into my thighs. The long and short of it is that every time - without fail - I'm left with lumps and bruises at the injection site, I'm injecting 9u at a time with 4mm, 32G needles. I don't have a great deal of fat on my legs but I'm...

Used test strip? So I'll get the ball rolling here... Just put my dinner plate in the dishwasher and seen a wee Dario test strip looking up at me with a mischievous grin. The dishwasher though? I've still no idea how it got there... Look forward to hearing from you all:)

Just realised that I've not heard from the forum news bot in a good while! Does anyone know where he has gone and if he's okay? He could be a man of few words at times but I enjoyed his patter all the same.

Hey guys, Looking for a bit of advice on building an xDrip:) Before I start spending money and building one - can some of you kind people please advise on the following: -Is this a decent priced "kit" to buy...

Morning all! So had my six monthly review at the clinic yesterday and had an interesting/unexpected discussion with the Dr that ultimately resulted in leaving the clinic with a pump referral :) When it came to discussing any issues, the only one I really had was my fairly recent battles with...

Afternoon all! Today for some reason the forum appears to have itself stuck in desktop mode on my android phone (using Chrome). Is this happening with anyone else? Cheers, Grant

Hello guys! I stumbled across this interesting page on the Diabetes UK site: https://www.diabetes.org.uk/In_Your_Area/Scotland/Diabetes_in_your_area_Scotland/Grampian/ As you can see, it gives different figures regarding health stats of diabetics by region (in this case, Grampian which is my...

Hello everyone, Is anyone aware whether there can be a date range set to export reports with the LibreLink app? With the reader you can export, for example, one month of data in a single report but I can't seem to find this feature on the mobile app? All it seems I can do is export one day of...

Morning all, Just been reading up on the different basal insulins on the market as my Levemir is somewhat starting to annoy me lately... Seems like this "Tresiba" is the latest basal released by Novo Nordisk and seems to boast a very flat and prolonged profile with a need for only one daily...
