    Type 2 Newly diagnoised

    Hey first thing to do is relax. I have read copious amounts of information and it states that All Complications occur some degree over 7.5. Some complications need to actually exceed 8 and others such as finger problems need to go up to above 12. All these need a long time over this number...

    Petition for Freestyle Libre on NHS

    I would prefer the NHS to stop funding these drug companies to have their executives on big wages. Why cant the NHS not command a massive discount with Abbot for these Libre? I am a computer programmer and I would say theres probably like £5-£10 of components in one of those meters

    Any T2D aged 20-30 here?

    Hey, Im 29 and have T2D for 9 months now I know its hard and its difficult but perhaps if I met some people here who we could encourage one another and just be general friends would be awesome. I am a computer programmer by trade so its not a shock that T2D would come to me but I am sad by it...

    Is this possible?

    I'm not sure about that I'm a worrier and like I said if I pushed 48 to 55 in 6 months because I deliberately ate sugar I can't be wrong saying the overall average would be up?

    Is this possible?

    Hi Folks, My HBA1C was 55 in March and to be honest I kind of brought it on myself when the Doctor told me it was 48/46 I thought to call his bluff that I was diabetic so I consumed lots and lots of sugary foods and drinks for a period of about 6 months between the first HBA1C and the second...

    Do you sometimes feel like you read too much?

    I do believe personally though that there will be a Cure like look how close T1 is Bio Pancreas Pump Pancreas Transplant Islet Transplant Longer Acting Insulin And most of those have only reliably been available since 2005+ Now with Glucose Monitoring where we no longer need to use blood or a...

    So which is it then

    Im thinking of going with a 3rd to get a consensus as 4.2 and 6.2 is a wide gap and if one reads a little low and the other HIGH then what should I expect 5.2?

    So which is it then

    I knew people said it reads higher but by 2 mmol is a massive amount. If you were a Type 2 using this you could end up starving yourself to get yourself below 5 (I have) when infact your actually pushing yourself towards the 3's on a normal meter.
