I get VERY cross with those who say its a lifestyle choice, yes, in about 50%, but in the rest IF you choose your parents I guess it is, but if you do not, your parent and grand parent had it and were NOT overweight grew all their own foods, nor ate fats and sugar, I would guess, as our doctor...

I get really pxxxxxd off when I see sites like this say that "type 2 can be addressed by lifestyle changes". THAT is about as true as saying that wearing a dress makes you a woman, or conversely wearing trousers makes you a man. Just so this site knows, IT CANNOT in about 50% of cases. My father...

Hi, my doctors seem at odds. many years ago my then doctor told me he is getting pxxxxd off with other doctors that say "oh no you are not allergic" the fact that a drug may kill you as it has an adverse effect, oh no you are not allergic. Was diagnosed with arthritus, oh thats gone now...

Hi, this is classic B12 reduction, possibly accompanied by clickey middle finger. This has been known about in the US but kept quiet, or ignored in the EU. You will get a load of manure and again so shall I about this as people say "you must not say that" "you are not a clinician" and a load...

Diabetic Doctors!!! If you do not see that as funny, then you have not been diabetic long enough to understand the ramifications of what the above implies. Certainly ALL the diabetics I know and have been for a long time will probably agree. There are a few that are spot on, not many though!

Diabetes Jokes! huh the biggest joke for me is that so called diabetes clinicians have NO idea of life. They come out with rhetoric that they do not understand. They know not about the daily status, side effects, the difference between allergies and so called sensitivity and then tell you you...

Mmmm all the above are common, however, what was intersting was the levels. We had a diabetic doctor who was always low, 2.5-5.5 and not diabetic, she accepted that some normals were about 7 but other doctors have jumped up and down about this. Certainly I feel at my best at about 5-8, lower I...

I have put my recipe on here before, however, do NOT use packets of oats, they invariably been processed to cook quicker (a con) use just rolled oats they are less than half the carbs of wheat and higher in roughage also they tear the guts out of colesterol. The doctors cannot believe mine are...

Mmm also an interesting thread. Do be aware that various universities around the world have discovered that about a third of the population have wheat problems. They may not realise it, a headache after a drink, falling asleep about 30 minutes after something all will end up as a diabetic. Yes...

What, are your doctors living in cuckoo land! God I control my meds and was shown how to do it 12 years ago!!! As thus keep a book, now take morning level, at dinner time if you have had a hypo in the AM reduce the next day by 2 points, if you BS is above 7 increase the shot by 2 IF you have...

Interesting thread, however normally a person who is a diabetic has what is called a liver dump overnight and the BS goes up before b/f. I would suggest that whilst you may have a slow metabolism and that you need help on either meds or diet you have not yet, and do note the yet, developed full...

Yet again I see someone suffering with these symptoms. In the US it has long been linked to low B12 additive or chemical whatever. Just try 2 teaspoons of marmite with each meal for a weekend. i am betting that many of the symptoms subside. Our diabetic doctor poopooed my remarks but sent a...

I have been a diabetic on insulin for 12 years. The biggest problem, the side effects of certain insulins, the fact doctors do not listen, and having to ponce about getting the drugs and carrying same. Apart from that, no problems, had my gall bladder out the other day, told the doctors I will...

Hi, I was on Novomix 30 for ten years, I had chest pains and my blood pressure used to shoot up and then go back to normal without any reason. Eventually the Novomix was changed. Cutting a long story short, having Novo rapid, after about 20 mins fell asleep, when awoke, its time for a pee and...

Hi try wheat, or rather the lack of it. The doctors here in France poo poo it however, hard wheat really knocks me out. Within 20 minutes of digesting it I am forcefully asleep.It is categorically hard wheat, both red and white. The soft does not affect me any where near as much! However...

Hi, unfortunately yours is possibly the reason that things may have got worse, permit to drive wise! A pump will not stop you having hypers or hypos, the reason is that the pump has to be set and your carb intake exactly matched so the pump is useless as far as that is concerned!! Add to that...

OK well some 10 years ago when I first applied for my HGV here I did declare it, have declared it every exam after and never had a problem. We have a medical of about €25 per time and all that you pay for on top of that is the photographs. Apparently if there is a problem with your diabetes then...

Re: DVLA Life and so on Luckily, I live in France, however, my father was a diabetic in the UK and believe it or not both the hospital AND my fathers doctor told my father NOT to notify the DVLA /DVLC etc. The reasons being as follows, the DVLA have little knowledge or concept of diabetics, or...

It could be sugar or sugars that are actually making you like that. Hard wheat red and white does that to me as does sugar. I also wake and doze, have depressive feeling, that normally lasts for about 12-16 hours. I can take a little sugar, eg 1 knob without problem. Thing is, is the sugar I am...

It seems that others have not come across the two reports, one from a California Uni and one from Norway. Basically if you were before being diabetic sensitive to wheat, (hard red or white) then you would be a diabetic! I have tried to stop having wheat, cut down on red meats and only have...
