    Lost job due to hypo effects.

    I hope your employer takes the sensible route after your appeal. A compromise agreement protects both parties and there can be no comebacks either way. I forgot to tell you that not only you might save tax on any payment, your company will also save on company NIC contributions so it is less...

    4 months diagnosed

    Re: 4 months diagnose Hi Pete I think you mean you HbA1c was 11.4 now down to 8.6? If so that is almost exactly the same as I had on that timescale. I was really fanatical about diet and exercise to start with (I was fit anyway) but could not get my HbA1c below 8.1 - and I was on 2000mg of...

    Re: Diabetes.co.uk PETITION for better access to blood testi Fergus, Thanks and yes I will prod my GP again - I haven't tried that hard yet to be honest. I will also be taking part in a clinical study at Oxford University where my friend is a researcher, so that will be further ammunition! I...

    Diabetes.co.uk PETITION for better access to blood testing

    Re: Diabetes.co.uk PETITION for better access to blood testi Signed and posted to Facebook and friends. I find it ridiculous that non insulin users can't test. I had a discussion with my clinic nurse and she admitted it's basically a cost cutting exercise. She let me have two boxes of strips...
