Just an update for those old people who are still here. A few days ago, I was told to stop my insulin. It doesn't quite work. However, I have lost so much weight and quit smoking that from the original 45 or so units, I am now down to no basal and today was 2 units of NovoRapid. Today, I've...

What type of insulin are you on now? How well do you know your ratios? Do you ever hypo? How much weight do you lift? How often? What other types of exercise do you do? I am guessing that if you know what you are doing, you could add 4 RA units post workout with 40g of carb (or whatever your...

10 ish on swimming days - that drops me in no time, still trying to suss it out. 8 ish on walking days - sometimes 10 miles can drop me too. 5 ish on my normal 5 miles days. More when I am unwell, stressed out or trying new sports etc. Guessing it averages 7.

Tried Cosyfeet?

I am currently unsure whether I will continue to contribute. I expect so. But also think a few days/weeks break will be good for me. Life has been hectic and I was starting to dread seeing what people had got up to on here after a long day and not knowing how to deal with it without getting sad...

I am resigning as moderator as you may have noticed. You can check the general discussion for information on that should you wish. The last thing I would like to say to you all and ask of you before I go is the following: Please can you take your own experiences with moderation and...

I have resigned as moderator this evening. My real life situation is very different from when I started as moderator and I have for a while found that I lack the time to contribute. Also for me it has been very difficult to understand exactly what has been going on lately and I have found...

If you can get them to put you onto basal/bolus if it's time for insulin, once you get your head around the 'rules' for that, it is much more flexible as you will be able to look at the food you're about to eat and inject accordingly. Good luck with the appointment.

Yeah, feet are fine - minor blister due to the skin condition but no worse than I managed my normal 5 miles today no problem, so yeah all is well. Thanks for the new word. Toots.

Sorry to hear things aren't so good for you Hobs. I'm just so happy I have the 2nd chance after a year of being entirely unable to walk. I hope that the 'people watching' can also be enjoyable for you - I love that myself - making up stories about where they're going and just look at those...

Hi all, Just a short woohoo!! from me. Today I felt great, so out for a walk. November was sunny here today. Had planned 5 miles, but then towards the end of those, I thought why not do 5 more, so I did. Then towards the end of those, my feet were a bit sore, but I had forgotten to get an...

http://tummytucks.cliniccompare.co.uk/n ... k-criteria explains a bit about the criteria in the UK. Mental distress, severe problem, fungal infections etc.

It depends, Defren on the amount of stretch marks you might have with it. For me the only option will be surgery - I need my BMI down to 27, and then the rule is that I must have at least 2 inches of overhang/apron for it to be doable on the (Danish) NHS for free. I suspect the UK rules will be...

The advice from Fraddy is fine, but the best thing to do is to discuss with your doc that the dose of meds is bringing you down too low. He'll probably recommend lowering the dose. You BG needs to be on target, really, and every med dose is a guess until you see the reaction in the patient, so...
