Have you had a CA 19-9 blood test at all? Edited by moderator to conform with forum rules

Have you ever had pancreatitis or some sort of damage to your pancreas? As far as your experience with the NHS where you live, you can ask to go to another hospital. You don’t have to have treatment at your local hospital, clinic etc. Where, may I ask, do you live, as in area? When I first saw a...

Hi, I see a specialist, due to the fact I wasn’t, and I’m still not, bothered about my diabetes. I get really p’d off that no medical place, G.P’s, hospitals etc, recognise my type of diabetes. They usually put me down as type1 but occasionally type 2. I’m actually type 3c, which is more...

I’ve found it much easier than giving myself injections. Even in the short time of using the pump, my sugars have come down, so much so that most of the time I’m in the green and I’ve not had 1 hypo. I think the Dash works out what insulin I’ve had when and adjusts it accordingly. I’ve been very...

I don’t eat anything at all that comes out the sea, so fish or anything that contains fish is out. I can’t eat brown bread, brown rice or wholegrain food. At the moment, I’m eating Oat so simple made with whole milk and I put golden syrup in and on it. I still eat cakes, biscuits, sweets etc...

Hi ya, No, I don’t take Creon. I’ve refused to. It’s extremely rare that I eat ready meals and it’s extremely rare I cook something to eat. I eat cakes, biscuits, chocolate, sweets etc. I only drink Relentless, which is an energy drink. The bloke I see at the hospital, he is lovely, but he...

I’ve never heard about diabetic burn out. That actually seems fitting for me at the moment (looking it up on the internet) I will certainly have a look at what you have suggested and I’ll see what I can do with contacting people. Thank you so much x

Seeing as though when I was in hospital, they only wanted to give it me 3 times a day, before meals, and was going to lock it away the rest of the time, I’m going to ask the doctor, or someone how often I should take it! (I walked out the hospital because of rows over my meds. It happens every...

I have had some insulin now. I’ll use some but not as much as I need and I’ll see the doctor next week x

It’ll be next week now before I can get an emergency appointment with the only doctor I’ll see. She only does Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s. As for A&E, as I’ve got insulin at home, it wouldn’t be justified. All they’d do is give me insulin at most. After the last time I was actually admitted to...

I’ve only got to wait until March to see the bloke at the hospital who “deals” with my diabetes. That’s IF I bother to see him again at all. I’m going to look up to see what else I can sort out, to see who else I can deal with / talk to about it all. I feel like all I’m doing is injecting...

How to use insulin properly has never been explained to me. Carb counting has never been explained to me. I have literally been told I was diabetic, given insulin and left to it. I see someone at the hospital every 3 months but all he does is tell me where the i was told I was diabetic, given...

I haven’t been told or shown how to use insulin correctly. This is the problem.

I’m not really bothering taking insulin now. I have my long acting and sometimes my fast acting but I’m just going to leave it. My Libre 2 sensor finished today and I’m not going to start another one. You see, the hospital and doctors can’t be bothered so neither can I. At last check, my...
