I always replace the inner needle cap before throwing them away and have rarely had an accident. But I have had a lot of practice because I used to reuse my needles years ago before changing to single use.

I have a quite a large extended family and besides my great aunt who had type 2 diabetes in her elder years I am the only one with type 1 which I have had since childhood. The physician at the time of my diagnosis told my parents that he believed it was hereditary and that any children that I...

For the previous years that I've not had the flu vaccination - surprisingly, I'm still here, my blood glucose levels are marvellous and no autism either

I stopped taking Simvastastin over a year ago now. All it did was cause me abdominal cramps, upset stomachs, nausea, itchiness & rashes which all disappeared when I stopped taking them. Personally I think statins should only be offered to people with higher than normal cholestorol levels and...
