My Mum reckons the best thing about being a gran is giving them back when they start to smell or play up!

Congrats Gran!!! Are they your first Grandchildren. Will be a magical Christmas with two new babies. Xx

Can I ask what your circumstances are? I mean do you live with family etc. The rules for DLA for a child differ to those for an adult. In the eyes of the benefit system you are now an adult. If you are available for and actively seeking work you could sign for JSA. You could apply for DLA as...

As others have said, go to the dr. Hopefully it is nothing to worry about. But as my gran used to say "a stitch in time saves nine". It might be an easy fix if done now, but if left could get worse.

I suppose I could do better. I thought in putting the cap back on I was doing my best but I could do more. Point taken.

Thanks, will give them a ring. What about used test strips, should they be treated as clinical waste or are they ok in the bin?

I don't have a sharps bin. I do usually shove said lancet in something when wrapped! Afraid test strips just go in the bin as they are on the basis that they are not sharp! I have located an old coffee jar which I will put said lancet in... Will take ne ages to fill it and will ponder on what...

I am very very bad.. I change my lancet about once a week and put the tab bit over the needle then wrap the thing up and put it in the dustbin.

Can't say I do...

My son is 3 so a bit younger, but my tuppence worth anyway. Could she be so wrapped up in what she is doing that she forgets untill it is urgent then either be too embaressed to ask for help. I know my son has accidents if he is poorly (she could be feeling off because of the t1) or because he...

Am I not right in thinking gram for gram there are more calories in fat than protien or carbs'?

Am no expert, but it could well be the fat content. If there are a lot of pecans in the base that would possibly explain the calorie count.

I was told by a chiropodist the best foot cream is a pot of plain old aqeous cream with a few drops of both tea tree (anti bacterial) and lavender (relaxing) essential oils in it. I have been using this for years now. Really cheap, smells nice and does a good job. Use moisturising socks with it...

Hi Katrin, He is lucky to have such a freind! Welcome,

I googled, it only relates to consultants not GP's. Just because a GP does the odd clinic at a hospital it does not make them a consultant.

I am not a Dr.. But they did train for many many years to be one, and they deserve to be well paid for their training and knowledge, I don't know the truth behind the headlines re GP salary, if it is as the tabloids say then it is too much. But it is still a fact that they train hard for many...

My review is every six months, am a type two diet only. I was told by the diabetes secretary at my GP that only very well controlled are annual reviews.

Either way she obviously has a supportive and caring boyfriend. :)

I have not got any experiance of your situation but wondered if the stomach injections are insulin? Perhaps it is worth directly asking if they have had the preg results back again? Good luck to you both.

I agree with Sid Bonkers... Regardless of semantics diabetes needs to be taken seriously and controlled. If well controlled complications can be avoided. How you establish that control is what you need to think about. As my GP said "you CAN make a difference"
