    Where to donate/get rid of old meters?

    I tried to look for answers on Google and here but couldn't find anything except for an american website. I now have at least 2 meters i don't use, plus one spare i keep in case of emergency. I also have pens that are almost brand new and a few lancet devices that i don't need. I'm not sure if...

    Type 1's travel insurance for Asia travel?

    I have indeed. Am I really a cheapskate to think that more than £150 is a rip off? Thanks for the link tho, it seems nobody knows a good one. Silly me, "good" and "insurance" are not two words that goes together well :D

    Type 1's travel insurance for Asia travel?

    Anybody knows a good and CHEAP travel insurance for a travel in Thailand and Cambodia? I checked the forum but couldn't find any relevant information about this. I just realized that most travel insurance don't take into account "preexisting medical condition", so i got a few quotes from other...

    Just been told I should only test twice a day.

    I'm in cugi!! :) Ok...i have some news..i had my yearly diabetic review at the hospital last friday and told the doctor i met there about my restriction to 2 test strips a day. My beautiful HbA1c was 9.7, which means my average blood sugar level is around freakin' 15mmol...very good indeed...

    And Thirsty...i think that's why the pharmaceutical companies give meters for free...so that you HAVE to buy their strips...and so that they can get away with ridiculous prices over a small bit of cheap plastic. Just making profits over the needy. They are eeeeeevils too :evil: I'm a paranoid...

    Grrrrr....that makes me sooo mad...but i was told exactly the same in my surgery. Consequently...by trying to test less often i had a severe hypo which led to hospital and a broken nose. I'm type 1 as well and their cost cutting ******** really makes me angry. I didn't go back to the surgery...

    Badly bruised.

    I fell on my face on monday after a very bad hypoglyceamia at work. I was rushed to A&E covered in blood. I look like Rocky Balboa after a fight at the moment. And i feel awful. So i just wondered if any of you knew about a product that helps healing and prevent my beautiful scars from being too...

    porridge for type 1

    Weirdly for me porridge is alright if i don't associate it with somthing that has fat in it providing of course that i match the amount of insulin to the food intake. If i ever have peanut butter and bread with it at breakfast then i will be too high for too long. I guess it's because the fat...
