Well done Johnny you are doing really well. Well done Lee also - you are a terrific twosome @autisticwonder1970
That hospital just gets worse . Thank god Ron already has his appointment.Have been informed recently that Kingsmill Hospital is not accepting any referrals for Neurology department for some while from now as they are having recruitment problems and have been unable to replace consultants who have recently left. Unfortunately one being my now former Neurologist good God just when you've got one broken in their gone.
However any one already referred will be OK.
He really should be signed off work. It's not right him working through all that pain and the bgs so up and down ....Wish Friday would hurry up and come . Ron needs some T.L.C. He came home tonight absolutely cream crackered. B.Gs are all over the place.x
It is. He is named after a "mad, bad and dangerous to know" poet. He's a little git but my baby. Just getting him down for his afternoon nap now. He's resisted all afternoon.Who's the wee cutie @ickihun ? Is the new avatar your toddler?
Hes been naughty today.He really should be signed off work. It's not right him working through all that pain and the bgs so up and down ....
@liam1955 what is affecting your ferritin levels?Hi Folks - At the Hospital this morning, told Consultant Steriod Injections had 'failed' but had affected my blood sugars by sending them up! Blood test results showed my Ferritin Level is down to 17, so to take Ferrous Fumarate every day (and not 1 every 3 days) my Vitamin D level is low and have to take 2 Omega 3 capsules every day. Having a Ultrasound Scan tomorrow on my Liver at the Hospital. And attending GP Surgery to see their Diabetes Nurse tomorrow afternoon.
I think us diabetics should retrain and fill in the vacancies.Have been informed recently that Kingsmill Hospital is not accepting any referrals for Neurology department for some while from now as they are having recruitment problems and have been unable to replace consultants who have recently left.

Oh the lord of the manor, that one. Ha haDash it! That was my first choice only kidding!
He's a beautiful wee boy , and that's a good strong name. I bet he's the prince of the family!
Maybe a little up. I think that was the main reason I got metformin.@ickihun - Vicky, What a cute child. That's just what I look like after eating Chocolate. William x
Will find out tomorrow about my HBA1C = bet it has gone up from 56??
Well his BG levels have been climbing today . 5.8 at breakfast , 6.8 at lunch and he messaged me before he left work to say they were 7.8. Well it turned out that after he had his lunch he forgot to take his metformin . That is the second time this month he has done that. I would put it down to forgetfulness but he has got an app on his phone to remind him to take it . On a funny note every time he has taken it and I go to kiss him he keeps burping . Sorry but when that happens I just cant stop laughing . Is that natural after taking metformin?Tell us more
Well done, Johnny - that really is an amazing result! Your Olympic Breakfast truly does make you a Winner!Good morning, my lovely friends on www.diabetes.co.uk type 2 life forum,
I'm so sorry that I didn't come online yesterday. The library was closed and I still have no wifi in my flat but my care coordinator and financial guardian are working very hard to get it paid.
I am very happy and proud to impart that my best friend Lee Collingwood did as you all said he would and he's still buying me fried breakfasts in the cafeteria near to my home but instead of having the one with devil carbs, as I so funnily called it, he got me something called an Olympic breakfast which is 3 sausages, 2 fried eggs, 2 slices of fried tomato and baked beans, no toast, no hash brown, no chips. So it means doubling the fat and omitting the carbs which is working out great. My blood sugar after eating that Olympic breakfast this morning after several glasses of tap water was only 5.9.!! I have been trying really hard to stick to the sweeteners in my cups of tea as well.
My bowels/bladder have slowed up again but I'm going to discuss it with the nurse at the bowel and bladder clinic when I next see her.
Take care and God bless you all, my dear friends. It's very overcast in south London this morning but it is quite mild and a lovely June day.
Yours faithfully,
