Type 1 get it and children, on prescription but not unfortunately type 2 but I find it invaluable and so self-fund.

Thank you for your supportive replies. This morning I'm down to 12 and feel much better. My DSN tells me what to inject and when which leaves me feeling out of control a lot of the time. My 2023 resolution is to lose weight and get back in control so I will be back here.

Also - whilst I was away the forum look changed and I'm not sure where anything is. I need to update my info re meds as I am now on 72units of Toujeou daily and Novorapid of 2 4 2.

Having fallen off the wagon big time, I have not been here for some time. Bit panicky at the moment as following a lunch of large crisps and six buttered buns , yes six, my blood meter is showing 32. 15 mins ago it was 31. Am chugging down water like nobody's business butt what else can I do...

Due to ordered medicine change I now have to test my glucose daily. The pharmacy have a sharps bin on order for me but when I was previously using a sharps bin I couldn't find where to dispose of it. Can you please tell me the answer as previously neither the council, surgery or pharmacy...

Thank you for the info jpscloud. I will bear this in mind next time I see her. Does it do the same as gliclazide? (not that I am clear on that either.

I fell off and got left up the road - HbA1c 73!!! Saw the nurse today and have had gliclazide increased to maximum, next step insulin. Today I lost a battle but not the war, I'm in it for the long haul, onwards my friends

Thank you for sharing so openly with one another re binge eating. I am going through this at the moment and found it so comforting that I am not alone. I have dealt with it in the past and am more confident now that I will get through it again.
