Hi, I found out about these weekends away from diabetes.org.uk or you could call their helpline 0207424 1000. They have breaks all over the country and are aimed at both type1 and type2. As I haven't been on one before I'm not sure how good they are but I suppose its worth a try. If anyone...

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone on this forum has been on a diabetes weekend break. I am thinking of going but not to sure whether it will be full of the 'older generation' and if the events are any fun? I've been T1 for 23years and think that I have become a bit too relaxed when it comes...

Hi, can anyone tell me if canderel sweetner affects BS. When I wake up my BS is usually between 5-7. I have a cup of coffee with two sweetners and after an hour or so my BS goes up to 14. Do you think it could be related to the coffee and sweetner? I also have 8units of levemir but no...

Hi, I was in exactly the same position as you (minus the thyroxine). Then about 6 months ago I was put on levermir. At first I took it just before bed but I kept on going high in the afternoon and the weight was still going up. I was then told to split the dose in two. My regime is now 8...

Hi, I feel exactly the same when it comes to food. I have a weakness to the biscuit tin not the freezer. in theory I know what to do but its just a case of putting it into practice. I think that the best way to deal with decreasing your insulin intake would be to seek advice from a dietician...

Hi, I am a little confused :? to the suggestion that a healthy non-diabetic typically uses 0.4-0.5 units per kilogram of body weight per day. I weight 57kg, and take a total of 22units of levermir and 16units of novorapid each day. I am trying to loose weight but have failed. Could someone...

Three years ago my cholesterol was 10. I was put on statins for 6months but they played havock with my stomach so I was advised to stop. My cholesterol has stayed at 7.5 ever since and I am not taking statins. Should I be worried. The doctor seems to think they are raised because of both...

Hi, have you tried marinated tofu? You can have it in salads, stir frys, miso soup etc. Its worth a try. :)

Hi, thanks for your reply. I will bring up the subject again at my next review. I am actually considering asking to change hospitals as whenever I've asked for help ie. to see a dietician or to go on a the DAFNE course all I am told is that my name is on the waiting list (this was 18months a...

Hi, I wonder if anyone could give me some advice on how to get an insulin pump. When I enquired at my recent diabetic check up I was told a point blank no. My sugars have been way out of control for some time and what I have read, a pump might be the answer. I am not sure if I was told no...
