I agree dating sites are aweful, no chance meeting someone on there. And I can't justify the ones where u have to pay, they're expensive! I've been to diabetic group meetings hoping to maybe meet someone but nothing! It's hard enough to meet someone as a single parent as it is!!

Maybe I need to date another diabetic! They'd be the most understanding of anyone. We need a dating section on the forum...

He sounds like a winner!! I haven't dated since I had my daughter but I always wonder how weird it would be for an outsider to come into my diabetic world. I worry how they'd react.

Thanks it's nice to know I'm not just being funny about it. I've made an appointment to see my diabetic nurse next Tuesday so I'll tell her about my concerns! I have a month until I see the dietician again, not looking forward to that appointment!

But my dietician is going to try to up my long acting because of this as she doesn't believe it makes u go up. If I do that I'll start hypoing in the night. She's very difficult to work with as she's so by the book

I didn't. She told me with no carbs I shouldn't budge at all if my long acting is correct. I also questioned about protein as i thought she was wrong I asked "so if I ate ten eggs or ten chickens it won't affect me at all" and she said that's correct which I'm pretty sure is wrong!

Hello, I thought I'll put this on here instead of starting a new one. I usually have a steady overnight blood sugar. The dietician I described above advised before I see her again in a few weeks I try and do some long acting testing by eating no carbs. She says my long acting looks too low and...

I know I thought it was odd after everything I had read online. Luckily I've done a lot of research over the past 2 years on things like diet, I already knew a lot of things she were telling me and didn't agree with all of it! Unfortunately I have to deal with her for the next 3 months until I...

This!! I questioned this with her as I thought that's how it worked and that's more like How a pancreas worked and she said I was wrong!! She also told me my morning ratio was too high "as its he highest she's ever seen" and it must be that my lantus is wrong "as it looks like far too low a...

I'm currently going through a very very long process of trying to get a pump from my hospital. Anyway I was sent to the dietician yesterday and asked her some questions about pumping. She said that the slow trickle of fast acting works in exactly the same way as a long acting would, and that the...

I completely agree, I don't post much on here anymore about what I eat as when I have in the past I get made to feel like I'm a bad diabetic for eating carbs!! I once asked for breakfast advice and was told to switch to a piece of celery. As if. It's the way some people go about saying it as...

It is frustrating. The night one doesn't bother me so much as its a one off. It's the after lunch ones that happened past 4 days in a row that are making me anxious. I will lower my lunch ratio a little for today as I'm at college and don't want to risk a low in class!

Well I had a low in the night and still woke up a bit on the low side so I guess that means it's probably my long acting

It's ridiculous. My last one was 7.0 and I saw my nurse at the GP and she said well wel aim for 6.5 nowadays so try and lower it. You can't win either way!! I asked for how to lower it more and she offered me a leaflet which she had already given me 1 year earlier which was no help at all

Just wondering how often do people have to change their ratios? I've been eating the same breakfast and lunch for about 2 months now with perfect sugars. Suddenly the last 4 days I've gone low after lunch everyday. Also had afew just before lunch in the last couple of weeks. Haven't changed...

I found a vanilla latte with soya milk which was 15g. That's alot for a drink maybe I'll just put up with their gross tea!!

quick question. I'm going to Costa for a study date. I usually avoid these places as I only drink tea at home and don't like their tea!! Is there anything Someone can suggest that's nice that won't affect my blood sugar? Thanks

I've recently started eating these! They're sooooo good although a little expensive. And I can't find them anywhere other than tesco!

I know it's not a cake but I've made these low carb brownies afew times and they're amazing!! And so easy to make xx http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/low-carb-chocolate-brownies.5097/

Can I ask how long does it need to be left to cool for and how do you reheat pasta? Maybe in a pan in a little oil?
