Tell Zizzi that if McDonalds can break down a hamburger into total carb as well as sugar, and total fat as well as saturates (http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/ukhome/product_nutrition.beef.32.hamburger.html) along with Fibre, Protein etc, there's no regulation stopping them from doing it either.

The bars of chocolate aren't that bad - they use lactitol etc as the sweetener so it's not really a digestible sugar (in my experience). The problem comes along when you try to eat any of their biscuits, individual chocolates, or other treats - they're loaded with that lovely trickster maltitiol...

I was perusing Reddit's /r/diabetes earlier when i saw someone making the point that BG results are just data points, not a "score" for how well you're doing. My immediate thought was "can't it be both?". So being an avid PC gamer I immediately thought of Steam's in-game achievements. Here's...

Hi. That was it.

I think I too would fight tooth and nail to remain at a clinic - I'd rather my results be looked over by a specialist than a DSN.

This is discrimination at it's most obvious and easily challenged. Is your husband part of a trade union or does he have a family lawyer he can call on?

Hmm, I wonder how Sanofi plans to make money out of Pancreate. Supply the immune suppressants perhaps? Or will this be a "every x months" it needs topped up? Curious.

Is your diabetes covered by your travel insurance?

Diabetes, really, isn't all that different from any other thing in life that we wish was different. Your lover leaves, your ambitions are thwarted in work, you fail exams, you miss uni places, your favourite shirt tears, the weather sucks on your holiday, your car slides and crashes on a road...

When men of science start using God as the foundation of an argument, I get scared.

You should fight the point next time, otherwise you'll simply embolden said GP.

Word. 8) It irritated people's skin and needed constant calibrating if I recall correctly. Thus it failed miserably as a product. :(

Well this is odd. I'm type 1 and joined a gym years ago, and no one batted an eye-lid. Not even an objection to me using the sauna/steam-room. Wish I hadn't cancelled it now, lol.

At best you can have her fired. At worst you can have her disciplined. At most gratifying, you could have her apologise to you in front of the rest of the class. At which point you can go "How's that for drama, *****?". ;)

Also, remember to factor in the fact that your own reaction to properly stored insulin will change in hot weather. I know mine does when I'm abroad.

A homoeopathic practitioners office. Upon being offered numerous herbal solutions for their poor control the diabetic pulls out what looks like a glucose monitor and says to the practitioner, "I think we need to check your B.S levels". The practitioner replies, slightly bemused "Why would I have...

Totally. If I'm sitting working at the PC for hours, I'll often not notice I'm hypo as soon as I otherwise wood - quite often it's when I stand up and go "oh wait, that's not right...". Strangely when I'm sitting driving or lying in bed, the reverse is true - I notice hypos almost immediately.

Next time you're hungry in that situation, nibble some cheese or some cooked meat and wait for things to level out. :mrgreen:

Well done, a responsibly solved problem. :) Although I still think we need a feature on the forum that pops up a message saying "use Levemir" any time someone posts a topic about Lantus. ;)

My apologies for posting in this topic so late in the day, but I've not been on here as much as I used to be. My condolences to you, and to your children. I took the liberty of going through your previous posts about this matter, and I have to say you appear to have done everything you could -...
