    Recurring oral fungal infections

    It could have been thrush as I’ve had that before and it sounds like the same symptoms as I’ve had before when my sugars were high and my HBA1C was high but it was just a quick dose of antibiotics and that was for a week or two and it was gone but it was still a pain when you get them again and...

    Diabetic neuropathy

    Ask for an appointment with a podiatrist so they can advise you with your feet as I’ve never seen one for over 17 years now so I couldn’t pass advice to you but for you to see one

    Diabetic foot

    Best way see a podiatrist and make an appointment because I’ve never seen a podiatrist for well over 17 years now so I wouldn’t be able to advise anyone not on this issue even though I’m type 2 diabetic and insulin dependent but that’s my best bet for you to do

    Neuropathy help

    I use neuropathy socks for mine but the only thing for me is I’ve never seen a podiatrist for well over 17 years now so I wouldn’t know what my feet are like now because I don’t feel much in them and the last time I did was when I had a piece of glass in my foot and that I took out myself and...

    Soft or meltable hypo treatment?

    If I have a hypo I use dextrose tablets or glucose boosts or sugar in tea as it’s the easiest and fastest way to get sugar in you and the other way is a mars or snickers bar and they send your sugars high enough that it covers you for awhile and then you can get something like a sandwich or...

    Most of the NHS will just tell you that they have a set amount of money and they can't afford it and that goes the same with your GP practice as it's not the doctor who you have to tell it's the the practice manager and they have their finger on the purse and they can tell you that they would...

    Meters - what am I entitled to?

    The GK Tech is one with a large screen and every test strip only needs a small amount of blood and it also uses ketone strips so you will get a good advantage from one meter as Accuchek are going backwards as I know because I had a few of their meters before I got the GK TECH meter and it's a...

    New to insulin type 2 diabetes

    Just advice them that you are now taking insulin and what you do is take your blood sugars before you drive as you drive and after you drive as I know because I used to drive emergency vehicles during the night and that's what I was advised to do because they wanted me to check my sugars as much...
