@noblehead Just to update you on the first two days at work, Yesterday I had a banana (Stupidly forgot to do some insulin doh! Half asleep brain doesn't remember to do it apperently) before heading off to work, also forgot to check my bg level so don't know what it was like, but checked at 7am...

@Bon83 I know! I miss the days where I could walk out of the door with just my phone, purse and keys in my pocket and walk to the next village about three miles away. Now I have to do a mental checklist of what needs to go in my bag, triple check I have everything and then worry about going low...

@noblehead I was told to contact the hospital as all my appointments are through them and not my gp surgery? which I think is fairly reasonable. My gp pratice has quiet a few doctors that do not like me anyways - Took 3 days for one doctor to do a sicknote for me! So I tend to avoid them as much...

All I can explain it like is having to test my bg and thinking multiple times a day 'Why the hell can't I bleed like normal people?!?' then Injecting myself 4 times a day with insulin and people cringing because it's a needle and I'm sat there thinking 'This is nothing.. wait until you're in...

I have been told that if I ever go abroad that I would need to contact the hospital and get a customs letter written up to take with me explaining my need for carrying sharps onto the plane, and to make sure that they are not taken away from me at security. As I bet there will be one day where I...

@noblehead Didn't see any bigger sizes than the 10 tabs containers when shopping where I coicenidently work, but will have a root around on the web to see what I can get. It wasn't that expensive to be honest, paid 70p for a tube of orange ones as they were on clearance and 90p for a tube of...

@noblehead The packaging of the Glucotabs was one of the main reasons I decided to pick three tubes up rather than some other products, easier to carry around in a bag full of medical stuff that could easily rip and squash the others and I don't want to be having to clean out my bag every five...

Will probably go up and have an indepth conversation with the various higher ups in store later today. Hopefully it will all be fine tomorrow - first day back - eek.. Luckily I only do 4 shifts a week and after this next week I have a weeks holiday and I can think about what has worked for me...

Anyone know if they are still handing out fines to this date? Foolishly have signed my first prescription as I had a medical exemption certificate, as was told at the hospital "You now get prescriptions for life." and followed this up with the pharmacist and was told to tick the medical...

Think the 2 year wait after diagnosis thing has changed as my DSN has recommended it to me already and I think she is putting me forward for it. As I like the flexibility it will give as to standardised doses - can snack and enjoy food without worrying I'm going too low as I know the insulin...

Sorry, forgot to add my regime in. Yes I am on a basal/bolus regime. Taking at the moment 7 units of Novorapid for meal times as waiting for a referral to the local DAFNE course to start getting my head around the carb counting stuff then will be able to adjust for what I'm eating, and taking 15...

Cheers for the advice. Going to have to do some rooting around the shops to see what I would like to snack on in mornings before returning to throw caution to the wind! It's a whole different world to what I'm used to so I maybe pushing myself too much to return to normal, but there's only so...
