    Tattoo issues

    These were all done before being diagnosed, I've had touch ups done since. No pattern it's on both old and new tattoos. My last hba1c was 49, so in a fairly good place with my control.

    Hi, I've not had any issues so far on bydureon, the only side effect / issue is the lumps on the injection site. These do go down after a while, but are noticeable. The injection is also a little painful sometimes due to the size of the needle.

    Allergy test, that a good idea as I work away from home most of the week and stay in hotels. So I have limited control on how food is prepared. Thanks for the idea

    Tattoo issues

    I've had them for several years now, I have spoken to the artist and he's not heard of anything similar. And he's been doing them for quite a few years as well. Just a strange reaction to have.

    Tattoo issues

    I have a question about tattoos and any issues that others may have come across. I've been type 2 for around 2.5 yrs now. When I was first diagnosed I had been seeing the doctor due to my tattoos becoming 3d ie all the lines and heavy inked areas were raised. He didn't have a clue as to why...

    Where does it say sabotage anywhere in my post, my point was we always Han either no added sugar or low sugar varieties. This was not, it was extremely high in sugar. Yes maybe I should have checked it! But most all of us are perfect and remember to check everything everytime. Especially in your...

    Sorry i don't agree, I don't see it as derailing the thread as it started with someone saying that no one had responded after around 2000 views. So I see that it is relevant.

    Hi Jaylee, the problem with the bydureon is the diameter of the needle. Due to the drug being a mix of powder and a liquid which you mix in the unit. The needle has to be big enough to allow the mix through. It actually indents the skin before it penitrates the skin. And nearly always bruises...

    Dangers In The Home

    Every one seems to be missing the point, I always check foods and drinks. We have a three year old grandson who visits twice a week. So whether I'm drinking it or he is its not good. I don't expect every one to eat low carb, low sugar drink and food all the time. But surly a little consideration...
