I've recently started taking Sukkarto SR, though I don't find that it has done much for FBG levels so far.

Sorry. When I say vials, I do mean the penfill cartridges.

This time - I don't know. They're closed until Monday so I'll find out then.

Boots normally send a text message to say it is ready to pick up. Last time, it got to 5 working days so I popped in speculatively and they had everything anyway so they made it up there and then, but they did say that they were super busy making up prescriptions at the moment and I should...

Three months?? I suppose that way you won't have problems come Brexit! [emoji5] I had really just made an assumption that they wouldn't really approve of keeping a big stock. A full vial should last me just over a week so I was thinking I was playing it safe. I guess not.

Interesting. How long does it normally take from request to have you prescription made up? This local Boots just seems to betting slower and slower.

Hi. I put in an EPS request for Novorapid and Levemir (and needles) on Nov 8th as I was down to the last pen and vial of each. The surgery approved it next day, but I still haven't had the notification that my prescription has been made up. Last time I pre-empted the notification, I was told by...

Olives are vegetables too. I think we need to take this whole debate about oils back to first principles. What is it that is actually concerning us here? Is it the amount of saturated fat vs unsaturated vs polyunsaturated vs trans saturated? Or is it potential carcinogen effects? All of the...

I sort of self diagnosed as type 2 because I'd been feeling terrible for several months, then my eyesight started to go quite quickly at about the same time as polyurea became obvious (along with foamy urine). I bought a meter off Amazon and when the results were coming in in the high 20s I...

Sorry to hear that, Kev. Out of interest, with relatively high A1C and glucose levels, did your GP also run any ketone tests?

Diagnosed Nov 2017. Had a mild hypo in December (3.8). Other than that, none.

Ok, just tried a mug-cake. Not bad, texture-wise. Could have done with a bit more stevia, but it's in the right direction! Thanks for the heads-up!

I think I'm just craving a dessert that isn't yoghurt and berries. They're nice enough, just a bit samey after 7 months. I do occasionally make things. I made a carb-free trifle, which was nice, but I work ~60 hours a week so that doesn't happen too often, especially as when I do get back home...
