I care because it doesn't work for me! That said, if it does for you then I'm all for it :D Ingredients for RR Pastilles: Rescue Remedy® Pastilles are made with Rescue Remedy® original flower extracts. Natural Colour Natural Flavour Non habit forming. Sugar Free Alcohol Free...

I'm not too sure on the liquid, but I know the pastilles are sugar free. I'd certainly give it a go though, it didn't work for me to use it but I'm a cynic for this kind of product and think it's psychological!

It's not fun, is it? :( I had a huge fear of blood tests stemming from when I was first diagnosed, as my blood was so thick it took them numerous attempts to get blood out, and as a previously healthy 7 year old, it scared the hell out of me. I've since learnt that my veins are very deep...

Thanks guys, I know I'm naughty and forget to update my threads!! Am trying hard to rest, but had to exercise one of the horses yesterday (from the ground, don't worry!) and he was a bit fresh so got rope burns on my hands to add to the list :roll: If my consultant has anything to add I'll...

These sound fab - I'm a sucker for a blueberry muffin :oops: Can you taste the almonds? Am not a big fan, but they look too important to leave out the mix! x

Re: Help? Just cant find the motivation to control my diabet You are making me blush :oops: I never thought in a million years I could be a potential inspiration to anyone! Realistically though, even when I put up posts not dissimilar to this one, users were telling me all about them, and I...

Sorry guys, completely forgot to update this! They basically aren't too sure on what happened. They think I more than likely did indeed have a hypo/fit. The swollen tongue/memory loss was the main contender for the indicator of the fit. They also concluded I had quite a concussion and have...

Re: Help? Just cant find the motivation to control my diabet Trust me, you'll find it. I'm 19 too, and have been diabetic since I was 8. I was good for the first 2 years (mainly because my parents helped me). My parents then divorced, my mother was working all the hours in the world so no one...

Oh dear. What's wrong with T2s?! In answer to the original question, no, I don't think any diabetic should get a blue badge based on diabetes alone. If you are in a position where you are frequently hypoing or feel you cannot safely pull over, you shouldn't really be driving. As the meerkats...

Just gotten off the phone to NHS Direct - off to A&E for a checkover. Will let you know how I get on! x

Ok Cugila, I'll give NHS Direct a ring tonight and see what they say - thankyou for being so blunt and honest with me! :) I'll report back with what they say.

Enter scenario! Monday night I was fine, I'd been to sort out the horses and was home at 9pm. BM was 6.5, had dinner, took Humalog, Levemir and went off to sleep. Tuesday, all day, is none existant to me. I woke in the early hours of Wed morning on the floor of my room. I had my duvet with me...

Thankyou to those who answered my devil's advocate post - just to make it clear, I don't believe in hiding it either, just something my boyfriend picked up on! As for injecting through clothing, I think I might have mentioned this earlier on but I refuse to do it. As much as diabetes isn't a...

Don't you just LOVE diabetes?! :lol: I've had it my 12th year this year, and it still baffles me!

Nothing really substantial to add - I'm a T1 and was diagnosed at a young age so don't really remember much! All I wanted to add was good luck, and keep us posted on how you get on - you'll find out soon enough that this forum is a goldmine full of information and helpful posters :D xxx

*Whimpers in corner*......please can I have a link to this please?! :shock: I knew my diabetes was becoming too easy...! Something new to throw me off!

Hi Sarah, I've PMed you the email address to whom you need to ask for a passport :) Good luck for your operation next week too xx

I received on of these the other week - a brilliant resource for those who hate having to relay their diabetic history all the time! :lol: It does, however, need more publicity and information sending to hospitals, as a few doctors weren't sure on them and thus ignored everything I'd written...

Just to play devil's advocate.... I went out with my boyfriend to a local, well known Italian/New York restaurant chain :wink: earlier this week. I've adopted a proper, approved and strict insulin/BM regime. This means doing a BM and my insulin prior to eating. As I got out my pen and started...

I'm a Type One so take both insulin and Metformin. I've witnessed no personal side effects apart from stomach pain, but that is because I'm blonde and forgetful so don't always remember to take it with meals! Interesting to see the Glucophage SR seems to have less effects - this is the one I'm...
