Hi daffs (if I might call you this). I'm so pleased I've encouraged you and a few others. I have a big "L" plate on my back at the moment, so to have been able to help in a small way makes me feel very satisfied with my minute contribution. I have about an hour to go before the final bg test of...

Hi Daks, thanks for the compliments, very much appreciated. I never considered my "likes" as being positive, but I guess they are. Being new to all this, I feel I take more than I give, but if the little I give can be helpful, then I'm pleased and yes, my diet is far healthier than pre...

Thanks Signy. I'm so chuffed with my results, but I do accept that tomorrow is another day and I may well fall flat on my face:(, but at the moment, I'm just revelling in what I've achieved.:) It's a light at the end of a dark 7 month tunnel.......

I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone on this forum. Being a newby, I've absorbed so much helpful info. I'm unable to give much back at the moment as I'm not experienced enough, but hopefully that'll change given a bit more time. Today has been the best day since I was diagnosed 7...

Sorry I can't help. but congratulations on the baby news:)

Hi Jax, Your post seems to have been totally overlooked. I can sympathise with you. I feel totally alone with this curse that is Diabtetes and no-one to talk to about it, but I have received an amazing amount of support from the forum members. They're a fantastic bunch that offer help and advice...

Ah, I'm a widow, so I can indulge my obsession to my hearts content. Probably not healthy, but hey, I don't care......

I've kept a diary from day 1 of being diagnosed. I then progressed to devising a spreadsheet on the pc as the diary was a bit limited and have now gone onto an app as well. I'm probably a bit of a saddo, but I like to see what my bg levels are doing in relation to food. The diary is mainly for...

Are you absolutely certain that you are an IBS sufferer? I was diagnosed with IBS many years ago, but a second opinion confirmed that I was in fact suffering from food intolerances. Many years later and a lot of trial and error later, I can now eat whatever I like without the nasty effects of...

It's not perfect control at all. I don't particularly like the taste of it, but it gives me my chocolate fix. I deliberately don't keep milk choc in the house as I know what would happen.....................I always have sugar free jelly in the fridge in case the sweet munchies overtake me...

Thanks Noblehead. It's reassuring to know that "old hands" (no disrespect meant) at this malarkey also wish for those carefree days. It makes me feel less of an oddity wanting to turn the clock back. I hate having to check my bg levels umpteen times a day, worry about what exercise is doing to...

Sitting in front of my pc reading messages on the forum with the radio on in the background and along comes Lionel Richie singing "Destiny". I remember it from years ago in the days when I wasn't diabetic. I'm a newby, still trying to come to terms with this condition, but does anyone else long...

PS. Just noticed someone with 126 messages is classified as a "Senior", so that's just blown my theory out of the water:(

Well done you. I've given into my craving and had 2 squares of very dark chocolate, no will power,:(. I agree, that I think it has to do with the number of posts. I notice that you are a "regular" with 106 messages, so perhaps we change to "Senior" when the total exceeds 200-250. Who knows, it's...

Sorry to be so dense, but this still doesn't explain why I've been elevated to "Senior". I have only been diabetic for 6 months, so I think the "Newcomer" title would be more appropriate. Yes, ok, Ive chalked up 265 messages, 252, likes and 63 trophy points, but I'm still a learner and still...

Sorry Daks, but that makes no sense to me:(

I agree, but I'm just curious to know how we earn these titles. Nosey parker me:)

Something else to do with the Website. When I joined I was classified as a "New Member", which made sense. Then without my realising, I became a "Regular", which also made sense, but I've just noticed today that I've become a "Senior". I'd love to know how these titles are arrived at. I think...

How strange, you are shown as on a pump when I just checked. I am using a pc though, not a gadget.

I've just checked your status and it does not say Diet only, it says pump.
