My lowest was 3.8uk and we're not allowed to drive below 6 which always makes me laugh as non diabetics are expected to be between 4-7 so if you look at it across the board I guess 85% of the population drives illegally lol

Much depends on whether you are Type 1 or 2 alongside your reaction to alcohol!!! If it were me as a 15 year type 2 I'd stick to a couple of pints and an enjoyable night out. I've found my ability to cope with alcohol had diminished rapidly since I went onto insulin. Not sure how old you are but...

I totally agree that Carb Counting is important to most diabetics but some like me simply can't operate without a higher carb intake due to major problems with other foods such as fruit and veg digestion. You really need to learn how your body reacts to as many food types as possible and how it...

Can you define "if you can afford" please as between us my wife and I have 26 items on repeat prescription every month approx £214 per month. "A" can no longer work due to her deteriorating health BUT I apparently earn too much to qualify for any PIP/carers allowance etc etc etc. My take home is...

Hi... I'm currently on Lantus solostar as a bolus @ 9am/9pm and Apidra with meals we split the Lantus into 2 doses as I was running nasty lows early mornings and it's been fine for a while but I'm starting to see my BG readings creeping up again yet I've not changed my eating regime??? Having...

Sorry but I'm now mightily confused. OK I live in UK but I take 36 units of Lantus 9am & 9pm plus 24-27 units of Apidra 3 times a day depending onby my carb intake. I'm type 2 with other medical problems but how can I be taking such massive doses compared to you Kristin251??

I have 2 dogs.. My black lab Roy certainly knows if my wife or I are unwell and becomes very attentive and cuddly which @ 90+lbs can be a bit "heavy". More importantly tho our rescue cat Leisha maybe saved my life not once but twice as I was upstairs tidying the back bedroom and next thing I...

Late onset type 1???? Type 2 maybe but type 1 is usually picked up in childhood. Not saying its impossible but?????

I totally agree with Pipp ... unfortunately and no matter what anyone says you appear to now have managed to bring your diabetes under control but I doubt that you will ever be acurately described as cured of Diabetes. It doesn't happen!!! Keep up the good work and you can have a full and happy...

The only depression I get is with Drs who suggest DAFNE courses for Type 2's & then had the Gall to disbelieve my objections until I gave him a print out from DAFNE clearly stating how dangerous it would be!!! I then suggested the X-pert course for Type 2's to be told "what on earth is that"...

Thanks but it states the site is under repair and I wont be able to post as it wull be lost!! I have bookmarked thid site so will see what happens. BTW the delay is still as bad as ever???

Hi Giverny The old Forum app is still around and my phone insists on trying to go through it. I have to login everytime from scratch!!! Also there is a 1-22 second delay on everycharachter I type on the new site!!! Any suggestions??

Wonderfully unsuprising news!!! Spoke to a lovely lady Nasime who runs the local DAFNE courses and showed her the "letter". She was gobsmacked that a GP could be so insensitive and more worryingly so inaccurate in their diagnosis!!!! Suffice to say DAFNE aint happening but we may go down the...

As I thought not a word from GP!!! Will speak to specialist nurse on monday & see where we get to?? Thanks again... Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
