My nurse said that there is nothing wrong with eating a small quantity like a square or two. Just don't do it every day and resist the temptation to finish the bar in one hit:D. Its so much nicer if you have to wait for it/ration the quantity and take a stroll afterwards [:p] HBa1C 6.3 T2

My PCT took on the debts of a porely performing neighbour, so the money is thin on the ground now :( HBa1C 6.3 T2

Thanks for the info Dennis 8). I'm not overweight (5'10" & 11 stone 7 lbs)and have never been above 11 stone 12lbs, so weight has never really been an issue to me. I think my question would relate more to the other benefits it offers. If there are only 40 people in the UK on it...

I'm on 2 500mg of metformin a day. Would it be suitable for me, and what benefit would it bring ? HBa1C 6.3 T2

Before I was diagnosed and started treatment, I was so knackered all the time. I'd be falling asleep at 7pm every evening after work. You should start feeling better fairly soon anyway Welcome to the forum Ash :) HBa1C 6.3 T2

Abi, the Key phrase is 'help ourselves'. If we have no desire to improve our lot, it will be a pointless exercise them even trying to offer the best advice or regime. At some stage we have to take ownership of this problem as its our lives on the line if we don't ! HBa1C 6.3 T2

If we live in ignorance, we cannot really be held responsible for our actions. I think we all started out with this when we were diagnosed, and the learning process is a journey we all have to make in our own time. Its easier to live in denial about the illness than it is to adapt our way of...

If it does pan out for you, make him in no doubt that you don't want to build a future with someone who has this type of problem. I stopped smoking a few weeks before I got together with my OH and as a non smoker, she made it very clear that she didn't want to be with one who does. I had a...

Sorry if I come over a bit hard nosed (all). I've had years of people taking advantage of my forgiving nature, and they generally see it at a weakness to exploit [:(!] Sometimes you have to draw a line, and put your own needs first ! I've come to the conclusion that Lazy/selfish people...

I don't feel its fair to expect her to put her life on hold so he can sort out this problem. Unless he is already seeking help his denial will continue. Alcohol always brings out the worst in people :( Diabetes is an illness inflicted upon her which she has no control over its cause...

I have to say I feel that you need to put the relationship with him behind you and move on. I was on the sharp end of a violent binge drinker for many years (my brother). The only solution is to make a space between you and them and keep it that way. From my experience (10 years of...

Did you see my post on the SMF forum software Dan ?. It is IMO the best of the open source freeware forum software available, and very stable. I think that the best approach would be to get this database imported into the new software, and then give the mods junior admin rights to zap them...

I had my HBa1C test on Wednesday as well as a flu jab. I'm not the greatest fan of blood tests - necessary evil and all that :(

Would it not be possible to give the mods junior admin rights so they have more control over the members profiles (allows them to add members profiles to the banned list in either email address, IP and also domain) and change the registration to admin approval only so they can filter the...

Take a look at this petition regarding self testing for T2s. It is at odds with the PCTs rules. http://www.number-10.gov.uk/output/Page11621.asp My practice nurse sad to me last night that there was nothing to stop me buying test strips myself if I wanted to test my BG at home more...
