Type 1 produce little or no insulin. Type3c produce little or no insulin along with diminished pancreatic enzymes and no glucagon. I’m type 3c and produce no insulin, enzymes or glucagon.

I know we have in a pandemic but when I saw the nurse at my surgery last September she said “I see you have your feet”…. That was my check. I have some pain in one foot so went to see a podiatrist (cost an arm, leg and a foot!! ) She informed me that gp’s get paid to check the feet of type 2...

I had a txt today to say my Gp would not consent to my online pharmacy request for my repeat prescription, that I placed a week ago. Txt said that as I had not had my bloods and annual review then they could not process my meds. I had had my bloods done one week ago at the hospital. I rang the...

Does anyone have or had this condition? My outer thighs are numb and have been for a couple of months. Just wondered if anyone knew about it

Anyone have any useful tips to prevent gnat bites and/or treat them? I’m Type3c and this year have been bitten 5/6 times every time I step out of the house!

I have type 3c because I have no pancreas therefore have pancreatic insufficiency. I take Creon with meals to replace pancreatic enzymes that help digest the food. Take them for life. If I don’t take them I get steatorhea . (Loose ,floaty smelly stools)

I have tried another pen from a different box/ batch no’s and sugars seem to be under control today. Cannot relate it to anything else. Just Cross I have 2 boxes of the same batch nos. Gp’s will say I have had a prescription and may not give me another one.

I have read an earlier post(2000) about Lantus causing a sudden drop in blood sugars because of injecting in a fatty site. My problem was a blood sugar running at 3.5-4 over 3 days, feeling off but not ill as such. It was a new box of pens that were manufactured for Europe and not UK. They had...

Thank you. Your info is a great help.

Advice please. I was told my urine creatinine level was raised. Diabetic nurse said it was 24 and it should be below 20. It is being repeated, waiting for the result. Anyone know what this really means? I’m type 3c on insulin and pancreatic insufficient on croen.

I’ve just changed from GlucoRX mini to the jazz wave sense and found the jazz reports lower sugars than the mini. E.g 18.9 on the mini and 15.4 on the jazz. Lower blood sugars didn’t have such a discrepancy. Why can’t they get all devices more aligned ? By the way does anyone know what the...

Yes, I saw that last week. It looked like the libre??? Wonder if she self funds or the NHS funds it?

Thank you for the link. Think I am more concerned about changing meal times and insulin times and getting out of routine, then upsetting my bg's.

I have just got a job for 11hours in a local large supermarket. At induction last week I learned that I was to go into he bakery. Three shifts of 4hours, 6am to 10 am. I usually have breakfast at 8am but will have to have it at 5am. I take Lantus 8am and 8pm and Novarapid with meals. Is this...

I have just collected a letter from my GP to take through airport security with me. What do peoples letter state? Mine says I am insulin dependant diabetic and need to carry Lantus and needles. There is no mention of the Novarapid I also take. Does anything else need to be listed? Can't believe...
