I got one from Medic Alert years ago and have since upgraded to a 9ct hold one which is really nice. It shows all my important medical conditions and includes a telephone number and my membership number. All medical information was provided by myself and I pay an annual fee for this. Each...

I'm having a similar problem, I've lost 3kg this year and now weigh 54kg which is underweight for my 5ft 5ins. If I eat more it increases my BG levels and I avoid snacking in the evening as my partner needs to LOSE around 12kg. Whatever I eat he will also eat so in order to stop him gaining any...

Medici Travel cover loads of pre existing illnesses, I've so many but so far I've always managed to get my annual policy at a reasonable cost. Not sure what will happen if I developed any other illnesses in the future but I will try each year. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I developed the exact same problem just before a planned holiday to Portugal at the end of March. We had to cancel and the doc gave me betahistine tablets which I've now been taking for a month. A few months back I had a flu type virus which turned into a chest infection and its suspected that...

I've got a soup maker and I LOVE IT! It took a bit of work getting the hang of it but now I use it at least once a week. No more chucking out veg, and now I always know what's in my soup. Sometimes i put all the ingredients in before I go to work and switch it on when I get home, by the time I...

Maybe, thought they needed to be a bit sweeter so added more. I've since used Splenda with more success. Stevia went into the bin! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Can I have ginger cake recipe please - I'm about to give up baking for good - last batch of carrot cake muffins were DISGUSTING - even my other half who will eat anything, agreed with me. All in the bin - followed by the jar of Stevia. What can I use instead of sugar which doesn't give a...

Yes I also have hypothyroidism and take levothyroxine however it's never been mentioned as a possible cause of the cramps. I also have hypoparathyroidisim which does cause cramps when my calcium levels are low however these cramps in my feet are not related to low calcium levels. Sent from...

I bought ground almonds from Aldi and they were much cheaper than anywhere else. I think you may also be able to buy them at Asian supermarkets Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I now have the texture of my muffins right and they have no effect on BG levels but no matter what I add, banana, blueberries etc, I still feel as though they are too dry. Am I missing something out? Any suggestions would be appreciated - I have seen some recipes which include unsweetened...

I used to take Simvastatin but this was changed to Atorvastatin some time ago. I know that diabetes is somehow to blame for my feet problems but its odd as I never had really high BG levels. They have classed my feet as "moderate" risk whatever that means. I just don't know if the cramping is...

My toes feel as though they are frozen all the time, sometimes this feels a bit weird when i walk. I have never had really high BG levels so a bit unsure why this has happened. Sometimes I experience cramps in my toes or arch of my foot during the night, is this also related to the diabetes or...

I have been taking this dose for years now but I had to start gradually, one per day for a while then two per day before getting up to three. I never experienced any if these side effects. Did you just start this dosage immediately, maybe this is why? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I had surgery on a prolapsed after suffering severe sciatica for years. This helped a great deal but every once in a while a visit to the chiropractor is needed. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
