My GP surgery reception will just give me one and take the old one for incineration whenever I bring it down. MY council don't even want blood test strips or finger prick lancets in the regular refuse! In case somebody rifling through my rubbish catches my diabetes? who knows ...

so far so good I'm not a huge drinker (having given up vast quantities of carbs kinda takes away the job of BECKS *snigger*) having two jobs and a kid also make hangovers best avoided ;) BUT on the few occasions I have test driven some vodka and metformin I don't believe I have succumbed to...

I'm with Jay on the champagne front :) Regarding the fruit ... sadly for me I only need to sniff a grape, even worse is the white seedless sweet (I guess it's a kind of hint when the variety is "sugarone" that it won't end well lol) and my sugars hit the roof ;) xxx

Heya Graham - unfortunately not there love - you had me worried for a moment, wondering if I had totally lost the plot!!! The only one that had anything useful with is was "plasma creatinine levels" which reads: 66 umol/l / LOW and everything else on the page is purely my results, no comments...

Fergus and Sue - I might well avail of your kind offers - probably best way would be to scan the darn list and email it to you :) Sue I have your addy so as soon as I install the driver for the scanner it shall wend it's way ... Fergus, do you trust me? wellllll - do yaaa? lol ... Thanks for...

I don't think anyone would be so callous as to take the antzy attitude with you - we've all done some "less than smart" things in our time *recalls getting very hammered and climbing up the outside of the multi storey car park* ... no clever!!!! The main thing is that you have taken some stock...

I have a huge raft of information from my last blood test ~ I kinda asked to have the "whole lot" done and it seems to have been done! My problem (haven't had time to visit doctors these last few weeks as my kid's been ill) is that I now have a whole BUNCH of information, and whilst some of it...

Hana, I understand that love, but I've heard about 6 or 7 young diabetics say they will take too much insulin so they can "over-counteract the carbs" - it's a myth that seems to drift around and whilst I'm not qualified to tell anyone what too much or too little insulin will do >>> the point I...

From a psychological point of view it is "possible" that this is a cry for help that actually said teenager is not really coping very well with diabetes and is acting out - a spell in hospital with good control may be a good response. some people believe that taking too much insulin will make...

I'm not used to feeling the cold as much as I'm doing right now! brrrrrrrr

a channel islands based company sell 500mg cinnamon supplements (nice small tablets) for a good price - that's what I use :)

hmm I love baby spinach (pousse) drizzled with lemon juice and wine vinegar ... hmmmmmm

cream hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ...

oooooooooooooooooops ... I had a dog (I cannot type the name I gave him on here because the swear-o-meter will go BING) on facebook, but I think he may have starved or run away from home by now! bless him ... good job he was only an e-dawg! xxx

Re: Recipes. mince pies could be a real problem ... no idea how to get round the filling but you could try making the pastry with a very nut rich flour, like ground almonds or something and cutting it with a small percentage of wholemeal flour? I'm sure if you google hard enough you might turn...

how's it going now Mary? hope all's good in the land of turtles and erm, whatever else it was Fergus said ;) ... J/xxx

that's absolutely fine m'dear - I don't mind being likened to a diamond (in the rough?) and for some reason both my facebook and myspace have been down for several weeks :( ... But I'm here alot too :) in case you hadn't noticed haha! J/xxx

hmmmmmmm ... and having recently experimented with BAKED BUTTER NUT SQUASH as an alternative to baked potato *sniff* I think we may have found ourselves and ideal topping ... hmmmmmmmmmm - butternut squash topped with butter and limey egg mayo *dribble* :) cheeeers! xoxoxoxox

Welcome Mary - the experience we have on this site from the various diabetics and caregivers of diabetics is huge so do take advantage!! So glad you feel like one of the family :) You so rightly said that YOUR body is unique and you need to find out what works for you best - good luck :) J/xxx

Most vending machines now have an option of bottled water, which can be seen as expensive and tasteless but it is probably the best thing for you ... it slakes the thirst better than diet coke which not only acts as a diuretic (sp?) but the caffeine is "said" to cause swings in blood sugars...
