Thanks @PenguinMum, that's a great idea, will take pictures from now on.

@PenguinMum Thank you so much PenguinMum, you're so right! I have already cancelled the next surgery and will go private for alternative options. Strange thing is, i got no follow up appointment for the infection but will just call the surgery again in a few days.

On Thursday i went to see a nurse at my GP surgery and told her the toe is now much more painful than after surgery two weeks ago and it's throbbing so badly. I also feel very ill in general, the glucose levels are all over the place and even socks on my foot hurt me. She said there is no...

Hiya all, Does anyone know the clinic ID for the Royal Free diabetes clinic please? All i could find online is the code for the paedriatic diabetes clinic. Since my diabetes nurse has left the hospital and my consultant is on leave, i have called admin, switchboard, have left a few messages...

Thanks everyone, I don't think it's the anaesthetic because i had quite a few procedures and it has never affected me. Today i had a bad hypo again when i was out with the dogs and noticed to my horror i forgot to top up the dextro energy tablets in my bag. So i had to go to the shop and buy...

Morning all, hope you're well! One week ago i had a partial nail avulsion one the big toe of my left foot. They have used the chemical phenol to prevent the nail from regrowing. The surgery went well, i followed all the instructions and on Friday i had the first redressing in the clinic...

Still SUPER, Mel!

Well done Jessica, great you're feeling better already! I was misdiagnosed for a few years as well, did go to A&E once when my sugar levels went up to 30. Unfortunately they only told me to go back to my GP next morning and the suffering continued for a few more years..

Oh, i just saw this thread now @Mel dCP ! That's wonderful news, so happy for you. Well done you.:)

Well, i'm very surprised you got this answer. I have spoken to Abbott several times and tried to get any info on the Brexit subject but call centre agents are strongly instructed not to give any answer regarding this subject. I now have ordered and received from Superdrug within a day!

Same here, i saw my consultant last week and she said Islington CCG will most properly approve from April on. I told her i have heard the same thing a year ago.. She also said the best reason for qualifying is the good control i'm having since i use the Libre.

Thanks for the replies. @Juicyj , yes i have received a confirmation and the order also shows in the account. I never had any issues before, last time the sensors took about a week to arrive. I forgot to say that i have ordered over the phone because i couldn't log into my account for days, the...

I have ordered three sensors from Abbotts website on the 9th of January. The full amount showed as pending immediately in my bank account. Since yesterday the money is back in my account and i still haven't received the sensors. Status shows "on hold" in my Abbott account. This morning i have...

I grew up in a market town as well, we were playing in fields, forests and by a small river. My grandparents had a farm, we only ever ate homegrown veggies, fruits and my parents had a butcher business. Happy days.

Hi there, I was misdiagnosed as well, i only found out via this forum here! It took me a long time to get used to the insulin regime as well. I am on Lantus and Novorapid and finally got my sugar levels under control most of the time. What insulins are you on and what type of snacks are eating...

Happy New Year Pauline and to each and everyone, I was home alone with my two old doggies as well and slept from 10pm on right through the night. Now we are going for a long walk, we are bright eyed and bushy tailed!:)

I was diagnosed with a vitamin D deficiency and buy Vitabiotics from Waitrose or the local chemist. https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/vitabiotics-ultra-d3-tablets-vitamin-d3-optimum-strength/427096-60111-60112

I have to walk my dogs at least twice the day although the younger (11yr) old one is getting very slow. We get soaked sometimes and we hate it but it's still very refreshing. I did go on walks a few days after spinal surgeries, hand surgeries or with severe claudication. I couldn't imagine not...

I have won one too! I have used the Bayer Contour for many years, now i'm really very happy with the Contour Next. I think i will get the strips from the GP although i have just changed my prescription to the Libre test strips. I find testing with the Libre reader not comfortable and will just...

I agree with @librarising, had similar experiences. I hope you soon get the help you need and feel better @James1968.
