When I had a very bad problem about four years ago the hospital recommended Cavillon spray. Worked immediately. Just be careful where you are when spraying as it’s like plastic and doesn’t come off. Still have spots on my bathroom mirror. I know longer have an issue. Touch wood!

Well, all went well. A really lovely man. Very supportive and complimentary. Young and enthusiastic. Basically told me to just continue doing what I’m doing as results are excellent. Did find out my HbA[emoji637]c when diagnosed. One hundred and ten. No wonder I felt ill.

Not been yet Tony. It’s this morning. Will let you know. He sounded great and very up to date on the phone last year. I was in clinic to do a trial earlier this year and the nurse said he was lovely.

Pretty happy, I was due a face to face appointment with my new consultant. He’d asked when doing a phone appointment last May if I could go in next time so he could meet me. Very nice. Anyway the appointment was overdue but not urgent. The phone rings yesterday lunchtime, it was the clinic on...

@Maggie75 @Melgar is correct with his stab in the dark. Our levels do fluctuate throughout the day. As a Type one on insulin I need a much bigger ratio of insulin to food in the morning than later in the day. It is very common for us to have different ratios for different meals. From your point...

@Daibell Your post is so correct. We have to be proactive and in charge of our own health. And also be prepared to jump through humps sometimes without getting uptight about it. At the end of the day as a Type one I am getting so much for free that quite frankly I don’t know what I’d do if that...

@Prancy in the UK to get a pump requires certain criteria. Even if you managed to jump through the many hoops there can then be a waiting list. I have awful problems with steep numbers in the morning. But am not having lots of hypos and my HbA[emoji637]c is good. So chances of a pump are slim to...

@Ushthetaff I didn’t want to go too big either. So resisted the max. I carry mine in a bum bag so don’t have the pocket problem, though it fits well in a cardigan when hanging out the washing and my dressing gown. I have actually surprised myself as I love the bigger screen. It is so fast too...

A cow between two bread vans. Hilarious!

I for one would be furious to lose this product. It has its quirks, as said, the first day particularly. I always put on a day ahead which helps. But for me it is pretty accurate and as someone who has tested along side meters at the same time they don’t match either. People seem to think blood...

When swimming lots of lengths seriously a couple of times a week it definitely needs extra support to stay on. My sensors also stick exceptionally well and have been known to remove skin when taking them off. But swimming and bashing your arm into the water for seventy plus lengths will...

New phone arrived this afternoon to replace the twelve mini I’ve had for three and a half years. It’s been well used, and the battery was running down too quickly. As I see the phone as a medical necessity these days, I was prepared to lay out the money for the newest model. I do pretty much...

As a dried milk user in my tea for the last fifty years I cannot believe I’d not heard of the same in cream. Every day is a school day. I like the air frier cooking of these as I don’t own a microwave.

@ANTJE[emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji639]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji639]] No way would my Gp prescribe three different insulins. I take so little basal that there would be a lot of wastage. NPH I’m just about to Google!

This sounds identical to me.
