Out of curiosity i just rang the insurance company and they said me getting T2 made no difference to my policy and they are happy to leave it as it is.

After I had my heart attack finding life insurance was a task and a half. Eventually I did find a company that were willing to take me on at £20 a month for total of £6000. Look up friends provident and enquire with them, they seem a good company.

Hi Steve, It is not that no one here wants to say to you if it is or not diabetes, it is because no one on here is qualified to make that call, which is why the advice you will get is to see your gp and if needed get a second opinion. There are a number of reasons you could have these symptoms...

Hi lovinglife You have my sympathy as I suffer diverticulitis and have done for many years but am one of the lucky ones, in that mine has settled down over the years, but do get tender around the stomache every now and then. Hopefully someone else who suffers this will be able to help you.

Hi futurenets As Nigel has said I would think very careful about what you are trying to do, I too had a heart attack two years ago 29th this month. and subsequently was told I had heart disease in all three arteries, if this is the case with your arteries then I'm afraid no amount of exercise...

Hi Henry I agree with Ken, I awoke in the early hours of the 29th March 2008 with chest pains thinking it was my hiatus playing up again, so after going through 4 packets of gaviscon tablets and no end of roll ups, I eventually called the out of hours Dr at 3.30 that afternoon.(Saturday) he...

Hi Dragon62, I agree with the above, I am no solicitor but had a peek at this site regarding regulations in the work place reference to first aid and so one. One of the first aiders training involves the quote... Does not say anything about testing Bg nor administering someone's pen. Have a...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!! It does feel good losing the weight.

Ask your dr for blood tests to rule out diabetes if anything, I have 5 children from 19 - 27 and have told them all to get tested, all because I have T2 and heart disease, pre warned and all that.
