    Well I've had a funny 3 days. Tuesday I woke up and my sugars were 3.2 and yesterday morning they were 4.2 as my sugars are always high this really hit me, I was an absolute mess. It took me ages to feel even slightly ok. So last night when I went to bed I was scared/ worried that they will...

    Hi everyone. I hope your all well. So things haven't really changed regarding the hospital as I've still not been seen, I've had a few waist of time phone calls from them and made to feel an inconvenience. But my nurse from the GP surgery has been great. I had a phone call from her today and...

    Hi everyone, I hope your enjoying the weekend. I'm hoping someone can help me with an issue I've got. As some of you are aware my diabetes isn't great and my kidneys are even worse and due to this I suffer with really bad cramp in my hands, feet and legs. I've been on medication for a while...

    You can't beat a day out with the falcons, my friend has one and I've spent may hours out in the field with them.

    I'm about the same really. I've finally had a call back from the hospital and they are going to get me in as soon as they can, as they feel my condition is a good enough excuse to over ride there no face to face appointments. They are also getting the renal team to organise another biopsy on my...

    Hi. Yes that is a ferret (call me crazy). I am a crazy ferret nut. I've got 8 a the moment and I call them my happy pills, they always manage to put a smile on your face. I know they aren't a very common pet choice but they are amazing little things.

    Hi everyone, kind of new to the forum. Meichanski invited me along for a chat. Long story short, I'm not doing to good at th moment. Recent hba1c was 133 and kidneys are stage 4. I've had a quick look around this section and it seems that this is a section of a bit of random chat. Which I...

    Can't take much more of this.

    My mental health isn't great, it hasn't been for a while and all the worry and uncertainty is not helping. If I'm honest there has been a few times when I've felt like giving up. Some times I feel it's not worth taking my insulin or my other medication for my heart and kidneys, because all I do...

    Thank you all so much for your kind messages.. I will try and answer them in one message. I am under the specialist diabetic team at the hospital and was getting weekly phone calls which went on for a few months, but I missed one call and she stopped calling. I rang the clinic and left...

    I don't post very often but I do look around the forum quite a bit. Well I don't really know where to start as there is so much going on at the moment. So here goes, I went to the doctor for a check up and blood tests a couple of weeks ago, I was with the nurse for 1 1/2 hours as I've been...
