This is the letter I got from complaining to my NHS - about the lack of Freestyle... West Suffolk Thank you for your email. FreeStyle Libre® and other Flash Glucose Monitoring Systems (FGMS) are not currently supported on NHS prescription in the NHS Ipswich & East Suffolk, NHS West Suffolk and...

A video and evidence (properly sited) about pro's and cons of Marihuana - quick 5 minute video. https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-institute-of-medicine-report-on-the-health-effects-of-marijuana/ Not what you probably think when you think of Marijuana. Very informative and debunks the myths...

Thanks for the reply. I have been using Libre quite a while now (glad it will become free) and that's why I am more worried. The dips I do now notice gets me thinking about it a bit more. I understand its not a comfortable thing to talk about, but if we don't talk about it, people are not aware...

I don't know how many of you have heard about DiB (but the evidence I have been reading online, seems quite high and very worrying. I have heard of this happening to friends relatives as well. Is this all meant to be kept a big secret from the Diabetic community? My nurse hasn't really covered...

The follow up video has been released and explains the difference between Milk. The video is here and very informative.

I am skinny, but the only thing that has ever hurt is a needle going into muscle. The only reason it is advised on your arm is because it's in place that doesn't get knocked, abused or touched often. There is no flexing going on, and the only time you touch it is when you put on a t-shirt or...

I travel a lot, and when going through the scanners, it picks it up (the ones where you have to raise your hands) and they ask what it is, and I tell them. No one has ever questioned my answers. As for the normal metal detectors, they don't pick it up.

We all have problems, we all cope in different ways. Once upon a time, I was on Anti-depressants but I got off of them, because they really were not good. Yes, they helped a bit at first, but getting off of them, put me in hospital. Anyway, I have "been there" and survived. The secret for me...
