its funny, but i was told bt my diabetic nurse that bran flakes were okay to eat in the mornings but then i noticed that bran flakes had more carbs & sugar than weetos confusing!

what breakfast cereal do you eat or try to eat every morning? any advice on the best type or at least the best of the bad lots (i.e. bran flakes, weetoes, cheerios etc)

so, i signed up for the Drug Trial and ended up being put on the Levemir. since then my sugars have been all over the place, although the Trial Nurse reckons that this might be due to me having the flu over Christmas etc. i'm going to give it another month or so and if my HbA1c has gone up by...

i am on insultard at the moment - evening & morning working out very well at the moment - i am at my lowest Hba1c since i got diabetes. pretty proud of myself actually!

thanks sugar, i'm not pregnant at the moment. they are doing trials on diabetics who are looking to get pregnant in the near future so they can monitor before and after. my Hba1c is 7.4% at the moment so they won't let me get pregnant until its down to 6.5% as you say fingers crossed so!

Hello everyone, i have just been selected, through my Diabetic Day Centre, to be part of a drug's trial to prove that its safe to use Levemir while pregnant (in Ireland) Now if i take part in this there is a 50% chance that i will not even be taking the Levemir and staying on Insulatard (without...

thanks a million for the reply! some sound advice although, what i meant was my DDC won't let me get pregnant with my HBA1C at 8.0. i have even considered whether i'm physically able to get pregnant or not hah! knowing my luck, i'll get the blasted HBA1C's down to middle sixes (fingers...

i have the frio wallet...had it for years now still works brilliantly, although i think i lost my large one...after looking at that site, i might buy a new one

yeah, but how cool would it be to just look at your watch and have your numbers right there?! i dream of a watch like that.......*sigh*

i have type 1 and my husband calls me a "smellibetic" oh, and janabelle, that receptionist who told you that diabetics were abusing the system....my god, what a cow....like we just LOOOVE to prick our fingers more times a day than necessary you should get your finger pricker out and go to work...

oh, oh... you should get one of those cheap little DVD TV combos....then you could watch all those DVD box-sets that you insisted on getting, but haven't had time to watch..... oh wait....thats me i want to get a cross-trainer & a DVD/TV combo thingy so i can do a half an hours exercise at...

you should buy an exercise bike and anytime your sugars are high - hop on the bike for 15 mins or so.

hi sophie, i think your doctor was just saying that if you got pregnant the way your sugars are at the moment, then you would have complications - especially if you don't have full control. i don't think he meant you couldn't have children ever, in the future (i hope this is what he meant -...

thinking of getting a little black star on my left wrist, just for starts. see how i deal with the pain. then i'm thinking of getting something, somewhere on my back...maybe another star design...like a cluster of black stars.

the reason your sugars went up when you were working out might have been because your sugars could have been high before you started exercising so you may have had keytones, and if you do anything energetic while there is the presence of keytones, this causes the sugars to go higher sorry if...
