I remember when I was first diagnosed as diabetic I changed my diet very quickly and very soon after this- probably a few weeks , I could hardly see ! ( to my utter horror ) and I had to wear two or three pairs of spectacles ! Eventually my poor blurry vision settled, cleared and got back...

FYI: On 25th July 2024 I wrote "If you are on Dapagliflozin and its making you thrushy - ask to switch to Empagliflozin I found it to be much better. No problems with this drug for me. Usually the GP will prescribe 25mg daily ( as I was told this is the usual dose, but it's effectiveness is...

I've decided implants is not for me. I did want a bridge - but then my own dentist advised against it "you'd be compromising two good healthy teeth" she said ..... funnily enough she was suggesting I go for implants ! I'm currently shopping around for the best denture option ( One of three...

Interesting comments there - all very useful. Thank you all of you. It sounds like a bridge is the way to go ! I'll ask the Croatian dentist what he thinks of that - mind you, if he's an implant specialist he may be snooty to that idea ( not as much money in it for him !) .... or of course...

Grantg, A bridge ? - that's interesting, I'll ask my dentist about that option thank you. (I just left her this am after a clean - I should have checked this forum and I'd have asked her about it this am ) Lupf- yes I will tred carefully if I go to foreign lands and I'll look into UK prices...

Thanks - I'll avoid Lidls new improved flavor creamy version _ I found it tasted sickly sweet. I'll look out for Co ops and Aldi thanks guys ! Shoran

Ah ! Thanks

Ruined what I hear you say ? Coleslaw ! I love the stuff and eat heaps of it with salads. I used to buy Lidl's as it had a proper plastic hard lid on it ( not like the useless flimsy - peel off lids ) and it tasted just great..... until I noticed very recently a some Lidl bough slaw had a funny...

Thanks Elena, Ush, and Antje My own dentist - she's been great, I don't think she'd be doing the implants herself though.( I'll ask next time I go in , though shes on maternity leave ) Mind you I think she loves inflicting pain - when I've had have a good cleaning session ! ( plenty of...

Fantastic info Nicola. Yes I am tempted to see how dentures go - they may look ok , may feel ok. If not great I could go about getting some implants ..... ( it's this bone grafting and all that that kind of puts me off... plus of course the exorbitant cost ) Thanks, Shoran.

Hello If any of you have had dentistry work involving bone grafting, tissue grafting and finally implants. Could you share any tips and what to expect - I'd really apprecate it. I am a T1. My my crowned front tooth is falling out due to bone disease /periodontitis. I have been advised...

Hello, No nothing different at all, though I did run around Hyde park a few times which I've never done before . Just kidding. I had my covid jab ages ago probably 6 weeks or more now. Not sure this would have anything in my case to do with my new hypo's I maybe getting less hypo-ish now...

I knew I was getting the formula wrong. Fancy forgetting the colour of the socks ! Interesting what you say about basal etc. Infact i printed ogf an amarical insulin calclation sheet guidance.I need to study it. I should probably perhaps try ( with consultant guidance ) quite a specific...

Wow Antje , So suddenly your basal needs dropped - was it a one off ? ( were you ill ? ) Has you basal need remained less ever since this mysterious change or has it gone up and back to what you used to take ? You did say in your previous posting: "In my case, I was diagnosed 8 years ago...
