imo is a good sign :) glad your feeling a bit better. hope all goes well with dr/dsn.

Sorry to hear that antibotics didn't seem to of made a difference sometimes (even with short courses of them) take a few days. i'd bring along urine sample to gp when see if any sample bottles at home. or just drink something and provide sample whilst there may need to check with staff which...

i've tried beef mince rather than pork using this recipe https://thefast800.com/low-carb-sausage-rolls/ pretty decent :) you can buy predone, works out rather expensive from what have seen so far. might be a company which does cheaper with any luck. i tested the recipe above out to see if was...

they were not posts, rather forum members I tagged, they should receive a highlight signposting to this thread when next login. Hopefully they be able to share their expierence to help with your particular question. Only advice can offer, presuming your wearing a cgm is perhaps you can work...

same in advance :) actually dont notice them whilst on. its the initial insertion have issue with and is a very positive thing indeed so much useful info from using them. rest of time they dont bother me and feel most definately very useful alongside cutting down number of fingerpricks...

that sounds like useful advice from the dUK helpline :) hopefully that will assist. I found the same but due to missing links in their leaflets (alongside websites) for education etc. was not sure if still in use. did you telephone them? i find putting in writing query can be more useful the...

hba1c within target range reduces risks, it does not completely prevent. There maybe some other dietry changes that you can do to help control levels a little better eg stopping spike as high as otherwise would. hba1c is like an average speed camera, where as fingerprick measures blood glucose...
