Could it be a bunion forming?

Brill - when I was pregnant I remember there being 2 egg size potato's on the food swap list !

I think that it is possible that the cgm market could go the same way as the mobile phone with better and better technology battling for us to choose them. Diabetes is big bucks alone and the desire to test ones bg levels is stretching beyond diabetic people - I think others (with plenty spare...

Loads of people say they feel sorry for me having to do all these injections - if I know them well enough I say that injecting is the easy bit [emoji23] it's the relentless worry of if you're too high or low remembering to put your bg machine in your pocket along with various glucose products...

Never a day off take care.

Hoping you are ok now hypos are a nasty thing!!

Used the gp machine on way to supermarket came out 114/66 - I must not like hospitals lol! The nice lady said I can use the machine anytime uh oh [emoji23] - gives you weight and height too! Thanks everyone :)

Thanks for that very helpful - they have a machine at the gp surgery that I may hop on ;) my husband is a gym nut and I am sure if I mention a bp monitor I can persuade him to get one! ;) I don't usually seek out things to worry about but mother in law asked me and I told her - her face was a...

I went to a diabetic clinic appointment the other day and had weight and blood pressure checks done first - I am sure the lady said it was 145/62 but I was a bit flustered so I may have missed heard. The consultant didn't say anything but my mother in law says that this is high blood pressure...

I understand you feel the need to accommodate the feelings of the people who don't like things that 'offend them' but, it isn't really necessary. The girl who called someone disgusting is obviously just a little ***** and probably says stuff to people all the time - she may grow up she may not...

The original poster was called disgusting for using an insulin pen (which I think it's hard to be offensive with really). I don't think being upset by that was an over reaction. Nobody has the right to call someone that in a public place.

I understand your perspective and im not really knowledgeable about what changing a colostomy bag entails - is it comparable to using an insulin pen? Should people go to the toilet to take tablets or to use asthma inhalers? I understand that people may not know what is being used but to make a...

Comes back to education I think! In school's we need to be discussing real life things! Anyone who thinks an insulin pen is remotely like anything you would use to inject heroin which you need to cook on a spoon with a lighter is beyond ignorant!

Awful!!! I used to inject in toilets but nope not doing that anymore! I one day thought it's pretty gross in here! I don't go waggling the bloody pen around I try to be discreet and to be honest my Co workers are pretty nice - they may be curious but no one has ever said anything to me. The...

Good luck [emoji3]

No pun intended ;)

Well done be really proud of yourself! !! I can't be much help apart from saying it probably comes down to weighing up the pros and cons. If you have trained for a while with the pump it may be offering you more flexibility for bg management on the day and for me nerves push my bg up - but I...

How awful for you. I am glad the two lads saw that she was wrong! It is totally the case that it's her problem not yours! Sometimes in life these people exist - hopefully something will make her change and grow up in the future. I know it doesn't help you but you probably aren't the only person...

Thanks for the heads up - I like a new view and reading material. I'm still working through a few other books at the mo but good to know!

Hi Alex B like azure said where did it happen do you mind me asking? I think that this is unbelievable and wrong on every level! ! I have many diabetes hang ups but testing and injecting in public aint one it's nobody else's business to be honest! Do not let it put you off injecting in public...
