Everything seems against us at the minute with purchasing a property. Unfortunately I think it's one of them things where I have to have life insurance for the mortgage.

Hi, me and my wife have recently had a mortgage accepted and i'm now looking for life insurance to cover this if anything were to happen. Which companies do you guys use for life insurance to cover mortgage payments? Being a type 1 diabetic i'm expecting a bit of a sting.

After receiving no letter I did call my GP to see what was going on. Apparently on my records it just says "Eyes screened in May, to be restested in 3 months", no idea why not the usual 12 months?

Hi, i've had my regular diabetic eye screening done in May and not long before that at the opticians. Both said I passed the reading part of the eye test fine (20/20 vision) and the eye screening person said all looks ok, very slight background retinopathy (shows up every year). This morning...

Hello. I have a 3 year restricted driving license and the 3 years are up in September this year. Im kind of worried. Due to me missing appointments at the main hospital even though I phoned 2/3 times they have stopped seeing me for now and im recommended to go the local doctors. I have got a...

hello. Its my mates birthday in 2 weeks time and we are all going out. I have drunk before but just a few bottles. I have a feeling there will be more drink this time around as we are going out on the town and ile be offered to try more different types of alcohol. Does anyone with diabetes...

Looks like its a bit hit and miss then. If they have any in then I can get some if not ile have to go to barmouth. Thing is I have to stop of in another town on the way with a boots so they could possibly have some in and give it me instantly if I show my repeat priscription??

As mentioned before they usually say 2 days. Is this for them to wait for the insulin to arrive or just the permission?

Ahh. Im actually going to Barmouth in Wales. Im pretty sure there is a chemist there. Hope they just get it sorted before I go though.

Ahh. So I could be going on holiday with no insulin? :crazy: Hopefully they will get it sorted. Doctors opens at 8:30 so ile phone them then. At 9 ile phone boots to see if they got the fax/can do it.

Yeah. Usually they ask for 2 days but if I get my doctors to send a fax through once as for some reason they didnt get the confirmation. Fax is pretty instant. Yeah I have used Boots for the 6 years ive been diabetic.

Hello. Im catching a train at 10am tomorrow morning to go on holiday. I have insulin but not enough for the 5 night stay. I need to ring my doctors and get them to send a fax down then hopefully boots can sort my prescription out. What are the chances of them getting it done before 9:50am if I...

I was told by another doctor to bring it back 1hour each night. That might be the best as im only bringing it back 5hours

So give myself the full dose at 6pm tonight? (Last night I did it at 11PM) Im aware doing this my dosages will need to come down so I might not even inject for tea if its a small dosage as I have training at 8 and dont want to hypo. Ide rather run it a little too high for an hour or two if anything.

Hello. As some of you may know ive been having problems with morning highs. 32 lantus and my sugar level shoots up in the night then 34 and I hypo. (it came down 5 units). Ive been to the hospital and they advised me to change my lantus from 11 at night to either breakfast or tea time. Im going...
