We Are All Daniel Blake - that's a superb Ken Loach movie. Has anyone seen it?

Hi Feniangirl, Great you've already changed your diet and made other changes! I also suffer from sciatica, had two spinal surgeries and got nerve damage all over BUT exercising is the key to keep up mobility. I also go every other week to see a physiotherapist and he gives me an exercise program...

As long as my GP believed i'm T2 he shared the same views! I even bought the test strips for a while and he said, he also wants me to have a life! Within a few month my bg levels were often in the twenties, GP said i should stop testing if that freaks me out..

I was told by an out of hours Gp once Sitagliptin doesn't work for LADA/T1, it could even make the diabetes worse? It never worked for me, only insulin worked in the end.

Absolutely shocking, i'm so glad you didn't end up even far worse! Sadly i witnessed similar treatment on a psychiatric ward. One of my dearest friends is LADA, had a schizophrenic episode and the nurses at Lewisham hospital just refused to give her Novorap. She was constantly in high figures...

Absolutely..and the EU has just done a deal with Japan and the US because they know what they want.

Hi Libby, Three month ago i have started using Novorap 3x the day, just before meals. Lantus, the long acting insulin i split in two doses, so i have to inject five times the day. I thought i'll never get used to it and can't handle it. But i could. The a1c went down to 6.6 from 9. All the...

Yes, i have just done one as well and found it! I'm very surprised because i have done one as soo as i got the email and could have sworn there was none.

They know perfectly well not SOME but ALL of their customers are VAT exempt.

Hi Alexandra, I have received an invitation too after waiting for several month. Now i don't wanna order from the website anymore, £57 is a rip off, there is no option for VAT exemption on their website. I haven't got a reader, i'm using my mobile but i would say it's not worth it. :-(

Well done Gemma for sailing through the procedure! Every five years i have to have a colonoscopy as well but on Saturday will be my first since on insulin. I had to call the DSN and she said tomorrow i should take half of the Lantus and Novorap only in the morning. Saturday also half of the...

My 25 year old osteopath is saying the same!

I'm still trying to get it on prescription although the team at the Royal Free consider me now as T1 and i would have to test 8-10 times the day. I freestyle now since three month, according to my libre app the a1c is down to 6.7 from nearly 9.

Thanks again DavidGrahamJones! You're completely right. The GP has just called me to tell me i will not get it on prescription. he literally said it is not available on the NHS yet, haha. I have looked it up, the Royal Free is in Northwest London, i live in Islington on the border to Camden...

Today i have called my GP first thing in the morning to ask for a sensor prescription. Although i had showed and explained the Freestyle system to him quiete a few times and one of his students is using it too and we spoke about it, he didn't have a glue what i was talking about and told me it...

And Germany and Austria etc etc. Everyone on Insulin (basal, bolus) is getting it on prescription since 2016!

Thank you, i have just found the thread which mentioned that the sensors are not available in Boots anymore. I have spent hours today to get some but will try tomorrow again.

Since two month i'm using the Libre and could get sensors of Weldrick's online pharmacy. They have stopped selling them and since one week i'm running around like crazy to get some. I live in London, have tried the biggest pharmacies in the West End and smaller ones in Islington and Camden...

I have bought it from Holland and Barrett when i stopped smoking, had no effect at all and didn't help with the depression. Rubbish.

I have bought expensive CBD oil twice and it didn't lower the sugar levels one bit and also hasn't helped for the nerve pain. My friend in Austria has also sent me the CBD tablets Dronabinol which are prescribed in Austria for chronic pain. All of which didn't have the slightest effect.
