One other thing i forgot to say get your doctor to prescribe you the large film patches to go over the top of the sensor about 4inches by 4inches clear like a second skin really... ive lost two sensors before the two weeks were up they are too expensive to loose early...

You will have to buy both the scanner and sensors deffinatly tick the box for tax relief though...there is a starter pack I think...make sure you order replacement sensors a good week before time out as you don't want to be waiting....you won't look back. Xxx

That I would say is impossible!! Wish it was on the NHS and to be fair won't get funded by the NHS unfortunately either...all these fantastic things are awesome but at a price...I've justified the 100 quid a month by saying I probably spend that on rubbish a month at the supermarket thing is...

Its the best thing I've ever had its alot of money basically it's 100 quid a month for the sensors but wld not be without it now...husband can scan me whilst asleep as I'm having bad typos that I don't wake from so from a safety point of view it's brill.

Hi Jodie.....I've been diabetic for 28 yrs and with my husband for 25 years...he is brilliant with me and I know I'm lucky he can pick up highs and lows sometimes even before I can by my mood or my appearance I think because he's seen my diabetes at its best and worst and I suppose I do...

I think it's awful stuff. Gives you the most awful wind and the squits....not a good combo just have small amount of 70% dark chocki.....

hi there i did find that changing from insulatard to lantus was a good thing as it stopped me from going hypo in my sleep. In the past week i have started taking metformin 1000mg twice a day and it has started to make a difference i am getting better results now but it is going to take a lot of...

I have to say this is something i have talked about today at hospital, in my younger years i decided on several occasions that i did not have diabetes so stopped taking insulin and basically got very ill and yes lost a lot of weight but as my consultant explained today insulin resistance will...

thanks Smidge, metformin started today as far as the carb counting im still being helped with that because my blood has been so bad carb counting is out of window until i have some kind of control. i cant wait to get active again but my broken foot has temporarily stoped that, fingers crossed...

As i have just replied to someone else today ive been put on Metformin 1000 x 2 I am more than excited for some new lower results today ive spent alot of the day at hospital trying to sort this all out so i have everything crossed, but to see that it has worked for you in the past is...

Hi there thank you so much for your advice, i have had a long day at the hospital today and actually i went into my consult feeling as if i knew something and thats down to all the advice people gave me yesterday. I have in actual fact been put on Metformin 1000 x twice a day along side the...

do they still use animal insulins?

this is fasinating i feel when i see my not so lovely nurse tomorrow i may sound as if i actually know something :)

I started my diabetic trip on Actrapid and insultard do you think it may be worth asking to return to those insulins, the only reason i came off them was i was having alot of hypos but looking back the hypos were down to me and my inexperience, i had not considered these at all, i didnt stop...
