I have an insulin pump because I asked for one with reason. I will be honest I lied, I told them a load of bull****. As I knew the effects on the long-run and short term would be positive. I know my lifestyle is a bit erratic, so 30% of the time I cannot do injections and they didn't seem to...

Yes, they have it on record...and in scotland the weather is torture, it would be ineffective to wear a band as I wear long sleeve jumpers or else I will be cold

I was hypoglycemic and all I had was a 23g carb brunch bar in my bag, I bopened the packet then..Teacher:. "I hope those sweeties are for me"... I looked at him and was about eat it and then was just about to explain to him and then he over-run me saying "I don't want to hear it", then went up...

I think the government should increase spending significantly to finding a cure for all types of diabetes, it makes sense, the cost in the future is even more troubling and despite the country being deep in debt dealing with the problem now will decrease cost in future, any1 agree?

Last year when I received the flu vaccine I felt dizzy and almost hypoglycaemic, I wasn't scared or anxious about getting an injection but my ICR went from AVG of 1.6 to 1.3 on the days subsequent to the injection, it happened the year before except the ratio drop was slightly less. Has this...

I have been thinking about ways to monitor blood glucose levels but with directly removing blood from the finger, I have thought that a device could be made by scanning skin cells, scanning the eye?, sweat?, salivia? Are there lower or higher concentrations of chemicals in sweat or salivia...
