    pass the sick bucket please

    It may be the simvastatin that is causing the problem. A friend of mine (not diabetic tho) had terrible problems with this medicine but when switched to a different tablet (lipitor i think) she had no problems at all. The reason the doctor prescribed simvastatin was because it was cheaper but...

    Was I born left handed?

    My eldest daughter is cross-dominant so she is right handed but left eye dominant. She also uses her cutlery the other way around and also she plays pool with her left hand. I guess that's because you need hand/eye co-ordination and she finds that she plays better with her left hand. When she...

    Insulin and T2

    Is the nurse suggesting you use insulin for a short term only? I have heard that some T2s are offered this but they do not remain on insulin. It works well for some people I believe but I can't speak from personal experience. Perhaps someone more experienced than me will come along soon who...

    Low Carbing counter-productive?

    I think you need to test 2 hours after eating to see what effect the food you are eating is having. I'm not sure why the pre-meal numbers are higher as I don't test before meals that often and when I do I am usually in range, except for fasting which is a bit higher than normal but within the...

    But you can't be diabetic, you're so slim

    As a petite T2 I wish I had a pound for every time I hear the "I can't believe you're diabetic " line as i'd be rich! I've heard of wearing your heart on your sleeve but not your pancreas. My Mum had rheumatoid arthritis which I believe is an autoimmune disease, wonder if there's connection...

    Monitor

    Sometimes the surgery will provide you with a meter as they get free samples but it depends on whether they encourage testing for Type 2 diabetes or not. Many do not these days. You can either buy a meter or you can contact the manufacturers who will often provide a meter free of charge as...

    Have you cured or reversed type 2

    This might be true for those T2 diabetics who are overweight but what about those like me who were not overweight at diagnosis but who have still lost a significant amount of weight anyway through a change in diet (in my case almost 2 stone) and I now weigh only 6st 10lb but I still struggle to...

    How did YOU come up with your username?

    Mine is because I have small feet (size 2 shoes) and I was diagnosed last December when the pantomime showing locally was Cinderella which was absolutely brilliant.
