Long post, make a cuppa and get comfortable before reading. Well the cc of the email to my solicitor appears to have worked and I did get a reply. the email did apologise for the person quoting Terms and Conditions which were broken anyway, they also advised my bracelet was on the way, I...

I have a family friend, she and no one in her family history had diabetes. She had high BG during pregnancy, after giving birth she had to continue with injections, finally became T1. Very important you go to the doc and get a proper check up girl. Dave MH

SUCCESS! Well the news is all good, PayPal have investigated my claim and after looking at the issues and problems I have had with e-pill reminders they have concluded I should get my money back. They have further noted that as I sent the item back I may have incurred further costs which they...

Pathetic of course you are..............IN YOUR MIND!! Of course in reality you are not, just a shot in the dark here, your husband is NOT a paramedic or a doctor right? If he was he would realise not only the NOW 'mental' affect getting such news but also the FUTURE affects of this condition...

Without doubt many companies are set up not to promote understanding of diabetes/heart problems or any other illness, they are there just to make money off the back of people who have problems. True, from a business point of view there is a market out there and most target vulnerable people. I...

Hi and thanks to all who have replied. I have spent many years in IT and did point out that laser engravers take the information from the machine 'code' and not the letter you see on the screen, but by then I had clearly exceeded the person I was communicating with computer skills, I simply got...

Hi and thanks for your interest keefyboyuk, you must have skipped the post a couple above yours? I did use PayPal and do indeed have claim pending however, e-pill use a guest sign in system to access PayPal. I do not quite understand how this works but you still have to enter your PayPal...

I have my friend and may try that route. Of course when out in the 'campo' off roading with friends in the event of a problem I can see me diving under a car and laying on the phone and breaking it. I am a pretty hopeless case to be honest, I went out yesterday morning to the shops, collected...

Thanks dawnmc, I was not too happy about this particular topic but felt a need to vent off a little. This is a great forum and I thought I would demonstrate I do have a sense of humour and not just looking for a chance to whinge. As an asides, and thinking about that post this morning, it...

Thanks for the encouragement Martwolves ad everyone else who has chipped in, at the end of the day if only one person reads this and is saved from the grief dealing with 'e-pill reminders' then my conscience is clear, I could not be quiet and let them bend me over and take one for America. Dave MH

Quick update for all. Medic Alert contacted me and they have come out first with an excuse the engraving machine was unable to engrave a Spanish é, so I agreed Diabetic in English would be sufficient, then the machine broke down, then as they had gone over there 'lead time' of 28 working days...

I noted you mentioned eating beans and thought it was the sauce? Checkout the ingredients in beans, IIRC there is an element of sugar in there? Also as mentioned earlier, you can do one reading and another a few minutes later and they may be different, this is why the HbA1c takes an average of...

Get in there girl, loads of support from everyone! Dave MH

I was recently told by my Spanish doctor that I would need to start injecting as my pancreas after a virus was no longer producing enough insulin. Having just watch the disturbing TV show (UK TV Channel 4 I think) about Victoza and Byetta having been associated with other 'problems' and the...

Hi all and thanks so much for the support and ideas. I am quite a laid back kind of guy and need a bit of a kicking to start the wheels turning. Well e-pill have yet to reply so, I have made a claim against them via PayPal. Now this raises another problem, because I logged in at the e-pill...
