@Seacrow I tend to find my gp is not very willing to perform tests. I’ve got fibromyalgia and other conditions and every time I go with new or worsening symptoms it gets brushed off as fibromyalgia or something. I was thinking of getting some blood work done privately. Vitamin levels, blood...

In the UK how does one go about organising private blood tests and what sort of tests would be useful for diabetics? I asked my dr about the cepetitide (?) test but he said I don’t need it. I’ve also seen mentioned here by someone a privately sourced insulin resistance test. Is there any worth...

Me!!!!! I recently been going to bed around an hour later than my normal, so crawled into bed about midnight last night, laid there for 4 hours wide-a-bloody-wake. But I have to admit to going back to sleep after my 7am meds, another thing that’s becoming a bit to regular recently. It just seems...

This thread is over 10 years old, and meant of its contributors haven’t been seen around these parts for many years. You maybe best creating your own thread with your questions re pregnancy and honeymoon period.

5.5 this morning. Been awol for a few days, not feeling quite right and I can’t put my finger on it, I know the weather affects my mood quite bad sometimes so it maybe that. Carriage for the train is progressing well, just the bottom and wheels to make now.

HSSS, I too have low levels I found all sorts on high levels being related to kidney damage, but very little on low levels. Except low levels in the elderly and fail is down to lost muscle mass. I just put it down to my disability and atrophied muscles (even though I have been improving for the...

4.9 @7 this morning, again I woke took my meds then went back to sleep, 5.4 @11. I did well after deciding that I would work on the train carriage yesterday. I got the roof completed and put in the foundations for the sides. Ready to bead away down the sides today.

5.3 this morning, when I turned over an went back to sleep after taking meds, then when I woke at 10 am I decided I’m not going volunteering today. In other news the Xmas pudding is now finished pics included, I’m trying to decide if I bead the black ditties bracelet or the train carriage next.

Reading the several posts here about convenience stops, I was thinking how much I love my catheter. I have a supra pubic catheter, and it’s so much better for me than any other continence solution I’ve tried. :D

5.2 this morning. Yesterday I cracked 7 hours solid of beading and made good progress on the Xmas pudding. Today I intend to finish the cream and start the holly. As it’s now looking like something I enclose pictures.

6.1 this morning. Never had salesman come with wheelchair yesterday, funny how they are usually jumping to sell you something but never turned up Thursday or yesterday. Formula 1 on tv today if the internet permits. Xmas pudding is coming along just 3 triangles left to make. Then cream and holly...

Made with insulin..... this could solve all our issues. Food laced with enough insulin to cover the spike. :woot:;)

The Libre is available to purchase from pharmacies for £46-60 (phone around to get best price) if your in a position to do so. You don’t need to purchase a Libre reader if you have a compatible phone with NFC. Maybe just a couple of sensors to give you 4 weeks detailed readings to get you on...

I wonder if it’s because elderly people get a cat as they are easier to look after than a dog. Then they end up in care homes or pass away before the cat. Therefore leaving a cat older in years homeless.

5.5 this morning. I’m happy with that. Busy day again today, coffee morning at my grandmothers home. Then hopefully the guy coming with wheelchairs to look at will turn up, he never came yesterday. I also want to get some beading done, as I’ve slowed down on that recently.

Morning all. Hugs to all who need or want them. I had a 7.1 @ 7 this morning no idea why. I’ve been up to collect my prescription and popped into the bank for a printout. Gotta sort out why I’ve paid every bill I received but according to housing I’m over 5k in arrears. Then I must bead...

Touch wood.... this is not a problem I’ve encountered. Sorry no help here but hopefully this will bump the thread for others to see.

Thanks saskia, I guess I’m lucky that I can stand up and walk into the train. A few years ago I wouldn’t have been able to. Fortunately by the time I arrived they had fixed the lift so all was well there. Interview went well, I hope I gave her useful answers. I’ve just had some lunch and got an...

6.4 this morning. I am on my way to Bristol for the diabetes research interview. Though nearly didn’t make it, my taxi was booked for 7:45 it turned up at 8:20. I rushed to get my ticket. Then had to cross to the other platform by lift as I got in the lift to go down the train was pulling in...

6.1 for me.
