Hey, @therower, @himtoo, and every body! The "red, amber , green system put in place by the fsa/government, and probably cost a shed load of money(not to mention the ink usage on these colour blocks as opposed to a little extra ink on the carbs/serving) are of little use to anybody. They don't...

Hey @ therower! Don't take offence,[emoji846] you do sound like a nice guy, lol. But has nobody even tried anything? They told Mohammed Ali he would never be a champ, did he just agree and walk away? No siree!

Hey there, @therower You sound like a nice guy, but......Let's try make life easier for the daily struggle us people of diabetes go through! Surely we can start a petition or something.

Thanks for reply, I will take that onboard

Thanks for your replies I've only been in this job a couple of weeks now, plus when I eat my lunch and don't inject bolus, I "work off" the carbs and when I get home at teatime my blood glucose is usually in range and sometimes keeps dropping. In regards to the hypos been damaging @leslie10152 ...

hi everybody! Recently I started a very active Job. And as I'm working all day, with sweat pouring off me, and I'm having hypos very frequently, yesterday I drank four bottles of Lucozade to relieve my hypos, my question is, is having many hypos a day Bad for me,?. Also, on the same point, is...
