Sorry about the errors in there lol my pad is behaving strangely when typing ! Lol nothing to do with the typist of course :O

Hi, if you Google this it will explain it very well. My GP is amazing but it has still taken many years to get this sorted. After ngt after ngt on occasions, I found rather than scratching, a body or nail brush was really effective then cold water or ice packs as skin needs to be cooled. I was...

Hi , re the bags, I just buy nice girlie pencil cases, it fits everything in, pen, needles + testing kit, some really nice ones around too and cheap and easy to change when they wear out, or you fancy a change :)

Hi Mart, just had to have a little laugh there cos that describes me when high, not that it's funny really but I have zonked out mid sentence when my mates called for a natter shock: but she knows my signs now, she can usually see me going so makes me do a test , must have been a surprise that...

Hi Mart, sorry not been on for a day or so, but thanks so much, I can tell you really understand, but that's the thing with this site isn't it and I suppose the reason we all come to it, thank goodness I say. Yes am sticking with it, and I know at some times we're all going to get these issues...

I can really empathise with you all here, I've been on the rollercoaster only 5 years as I became type 1 in my 50's, a real shock to the system but after the 'honeymoon spell' of the first couple of months where everything was perfect I have never had control for any length of time. What I...

Re: Diabetic chocolate Well have had to smile at this one... I lie, I laughed, so so sorry but I've had this stuff and my bf too, he bought me a box of the mixed Thorntons too one Christmas... then 'cos I was too slow, just having a little now and again, he finished the box...... I nearly had...

Hi Russ, what do you eat and how do you manage to get it to that..... it's my diabetic dream, please bring out a lifestyle book ! I need a copy as soon as .... please. Mines just down to 8.9 with a struggle

Hi Mart, thank you for your response, sorry I'm quite late with this, just not been on today till now. The main problem I have is not in control or doing the right thing, I started out with Ketoacidosis, that was my intro to diabetes, I'd thought I had a really bad virus! as said have had a few...

Well here I am again, still pretty much in the same place as 2+ years ago, still on the same insulins and still having the same rollercoaster problems. With taking great care with meals and counting get good control.. only to lose it after usually only 1or 2 weeks. I can't get the answers I...

P.s I am on Lantus :|

kewgirl thank you soooo much :!: I cannot describe the relief of hearing from someone who has obviously an understanding of what its like and that it is possible that it could actually be the insulin rather than me. I have managed to get some foods sorted re effect and, heavy carbs as I call...

I am a T1 diabetic with numb left hand fingers and double vision, was sent to a&e by optician and Dypopia diagnosed. I more than ever need to lower my glucose levels but my insulin does not appear to always work..I recently started using Dr Bernstein low carb diet but not to quite as severe...

Re: The diabetes roller coaster. I couldn't agree with this post more, and think I have almost gone through all the stages of loss but have now learnt the hard way that control needs to happen, however you feel, in the end, lack of WILL get you. I am typing this with one eye shut as the double...
