    I have Corsodyl, is that the kind of thing you mean, or do you have something else in mind?

    and the point is?

    Wow, such an endearing reply from the good lady Doctor! Wasn't sure whether to just go for it with my reply or not, but as freedom of speech is deemed archaic on this site and the post is sure to be edited or disappear, I may as just well say what I think. I've obviously well overstayed my...

    Sorry, another woe is me post. I was quite sick on Tuesday with high bms, my fault, yes I know. On Wednesday I saw my DSN who persuaded me to get fully checked, bloods etc and I was admitted with dka, secondary to a toth absess. Had a ton of IV fluids and antibiotics etc and told I would not...

    Coffee raising bg?

    Why can't I just do my jabs?

    Can I just add that actually the services that I will be getting are not in my local area. The hospital that I attend for my diabetes care is not quite my closest and I am therefore considered 'out of area', but as is my right, I choose to have my care there. The referal for psychotherapy came...
