Thanks so much everyone for your support. I have now completed my training and going it alone at home tomorrow night. The nursing staff have been brilliant and they do an amazing job. Even after just three days of dialysing my blood work has improved. I feel very tired and my muscles ache but...

Today I completed my first training day for dialysis and also my first time at dialysing. Hopefully by Thursday I will be competent in doing this by myself and ready to do at home this weekend. It has been a very emotional roller-coaster for me and my family. I have been waiting for a...

Hi, I am also having the same problem with my Accu-Check Aviva. The batteries last for a few weeks and then without warning they run out. I have only used the lithium batteries ordered from Accu-Check and wonder if this is the problem. This is the second meter I have used from them since...

Hi, my basal is roughly 15u each day (varies at times) with bolus a total of 9u each day. :D

Hi, I have been very fortunate to be able to have approximately 8 lucentis injections over the past 12 months. I immediately noticed a significant improvement after the first injection (which was totally pain free). I would recommend the injection but it is VERY expensive and I am not surre...
