Thank you for this; as there is no literature or proper explanation given at my surgery, it is good to know.

I may stick with it; presumably I will soon be on insulin, as is one of our cats whom I jab every day.

Thank you for your post!

Thanks.

Exactly! Thanks for your helpful advice.

I was specifically asked who had told me (I had already said it was my doc), which implies a pen identity request; I refuse that kind of thing in a forum like this. That is all.

Thank you for a helpful reply! I appreciate it. Best wishes.

I really don't need anything since you fail to appreciate confidentiality issues. As a keen human rights activist I am acutely aware of the issue of confidentiality and not being asked for the identity of someone who told me something. Why ask? Makes no sense whatsoever.

I do not wish to disclose anything that is presumably on demand. Confidentiality is important and giving out names and more detail on demand is out of order. I rest my case.

Fine: no one has the right to demand information from any member which is how it came across. I would never demand the identity of the person who gave me any information. You may have a tight clique here but it is no use to me.

Thanks

I don't wish to discuss this with you anymore. Bye!

Yes, but with my pancreas dying off a bit, this might explain the levels. However, I have no ideas what 'new way of measuring blood sugar' is! Which mysteriously alluded to. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks; yes this us the question right now. Years ago, I had a diabetic nurse who kept asking me if I wanted a heart attack and kept telling me to be quiet while she was typing. I changed her after she suddenly prodded my stomach feintly aggressively because my blood sugar not come down like before!

I know docs are under pressure and empathise, truly. However, when a doc is a diabetes specialist he or she needs to be absolutely clear with their patients. Footnote; my doc said that if he were a lawyer the bill would be mounting up! And it was not a joke.☹️

Hi NICE states that a liver function test should be made prior to being prescribed Pioglitazone. If my pancreas is kaput then the next stage is normally insulin injections to lower my blood sugar. I will not take the drug prescribed; France and Germany have highly efficient health systems, I am...

Hi I am finding now that things are getting very foggy in the NHS regarding the treatment, diet etc of people with type 2, which I myself suffer. I have been type 2 for a decade, although a previous doctor failed to make a simple diagnoses after de facto evidence of classic type 2 symptoms...
