Hi Marina :) Are you actually self testing before and 2 hours after your meals :?: Do let us know. What suits one person does not suit everyone so although it may sound as if you are eating less than others on here they may well be able to tolerate what you can't. The only sure way to find...

As Bufferz says they can't make you take anything if you don't want to. :roll: :) Many of us on here have researched and asked questions and managed to control without going on to the meds so we know it can be done if you are really determined. 8)

Hello HappyGirl and welcome to the forum. :) You certainly have a few issues to deal with but you have found a good place to find information and ask questions. 8) There are no quick or easy answers I’m afraid and you have to put effort into just about anything and everything. There are so...

Hello Elaine. :) Whilst it is nice to have the occasional treat it can often be the start of the slippery slope so it is better/safer to cultivate a savoury approach to nibbles. :roll: There are many veggie nibbles like peppers, mushrooms, celery, carrot sticks and cucumber which can be...

Hello chloeamy and welcome. :) Sue has posted a very comprehensive reply and you will find pretty well everything you need on there. Unfortunately the medication cannot do it all for you and you have to get a grip on it yourself really. It takes a while but it will get better! :) Many of us...

Hello again Jason. :) Don't we all just wish it would go away! No, it is not likely that they have had made a mistake especially given all the other issues you have - wish it wasn't so. :( :shock: See that you are all kitted out now with the pen, meter etc and hopefully you are managing to...

Hi jumpinjoy and welcome to the forum! :D

As with any addiction you just can't afford to give in to it. :evil: Don't have anything like that in the house or within reach and keep well away from all sources of temptation. Make sure that friends and family are highly aware of the importance of helping you in this. :!: Hard but...
