Looks like I am about to be dismissed from my job. Basically I wrote a report that wasn't up.to standard and the employer will not accept that my T2D had an effect. I wasn't diagnosed when it happened but my first results just after showed me to be almost off the scale. They have a report based...

I keep hearing about this LCHF thing but I have not got into it. I have pretty much cut out all sweet things and alcohol - so far it seems to be working OK. I thought I would find it really hard especially as I love my beers and wines but it's been OK. My wife has been on slimming world and...

Hi all. I have seen quite f ew threads here relating to work problems. Well I have some too. I was suspended in late June for poor performance, relating to remembering facts and following procedures in the last couple of months.. Work have now invited me to a hearing but as far as I can see...

Should I be testing myself then ? My doc hasn't mentioned it but how do I know how I am doing. I feel awful fairly often now possibly due to my exercise and lifestyle changes but I have no idea what my levels are at any given time. Sent from my SM-G925F using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app
