Hi, i have 6 tatts down both arms and am considering more. I have one on my forearm very similar to the pic on the previous page. Rebecca- as was said before, don't get a tatt if the studio doesn't check your age because they are more likely to only care about your money rather than your health...

I test before each meal and sometimes 2 hrs after so, i can sometimes check up to 10 times in a day or more if i'm feeling bad. But usually its around 6 times.

DON'T PANIC!! your son will be fine. I was diagnosed in '82 aged 7 and believe me the advances in treatment since then are beyond measure. Let him make his mistakes as he makes them, it won't really hurt him and he has to learn. My mum still finds it hard even now to let me get on with it (the...

Hi congrats on joining the club! I tend to fit when severely low and become unconcious below abt1.0 ish. This isn't the case for most tho. If i may i'd like to suggest that you test before you drive and NEVER drive for more than two hours without taking a break and re-testing (please don't take...

I was 7 when diagnosed way back in 82. It was easy for me to adjust seeing as i didn't know anything different, it got harder during my teens tho and i just said screw this i'll do it my way...hahaha stupid me cos i'm paying for it now. I remember my first injection and that i snatched the...

Looks pretty good, and the bluetooth function is cool. I'm guessing it only takes one make of stix but doesn't require you to adjust the code like some meters. It'll probably be priced in the £20 + range like the ultra smart which i use.

Hi I use a onetouch ultra smart, it suits me and tests in only 5 secs with an adjustable finger pricker. It comes with software and pc cable, mind you most meters are pretty much the same these days and as i'm sure most of you are aware we as diabetics don't pay the tax, so it's basically down...
