You're NOT a bad person! You defended yourself and you are trying to deal with a difficult illness. SHE is in the wrong, she all but called you a liar! Let her apologise, be gracious and say "I felt I had to complain, because I simply cannot accept being disbelieved when I am trying to take...

That's an alternative type of diabetic coma! :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: They nailed it. I think I love them. xx

Thanks everyone! It seems I am not alone. My system probably hasn't adjusted yet to my new BG levels (and I bet they still go up and down a bit). I was very miserable at my diagnosis too... Plus we all have things in life that get us down. :( I thought I'd left all these mood swings behind...

Norfolk is a bit of a long way for me to go just for meals... Nevertheless, you are now my personal chef. See you for lunch!

I know I'm depressed, I cry every day and I am having counselling... But since I've started getting my blood glucose down (which I've done pretty well at) I've become very intolerant of other people's shortcomings. I can't see why they don't try harder with their lives too. I'm sure I am being...

Since being diagnosed, a few weeks back, I have become rather depressed and VERY cross with my family and friends. I'm so short-tempered, angry and disappointed in people. I went mental at my son for getting bad grades in his AS Levels. I've been accused of constantly making sly digs at my...

Very weak tea, two sweeteners and a splash of skimmed milk. Every couple of days I have a cup of coffee (weak) but I usually avoid it, because I have it on good authority (I have no sense of smell myself) that coffee makes my breath reek. :cry:

I am absolutely disgusted with this Govt and their actions. I've always hated the Tories but I have a special new level of contempt for the Lib Dems. I hope the NHS survives.

Your loo problems are probably caused by the amount of sugar you are consuming during the evening/before bed. Sugar = needing a wee. Most kinds of fruit contain a lot of sugar... And biscuits?! :crazy: I don't think biscuits are a good idea if you are type 2, ESPECIALLY before sleeping...

Oh my, she sounds like a monster. Poor you *hug*. I'd suggest going to another surgery but I know that doesn't always help... I agree that (if you have the energy) a letter of complaint might be in order.

I've got the Freedom Lite thingy (which sounds more like a feminine hygiene product to me) and the lancet hurts like a swear-word. I think it's basically a biological fact that, unless your nerves are damaged, slamming a needle into your finger is going to hurt. I HATE doing mine, plus (even...

I can't be bothered to take account of the little bit of milk in my tea. That's one of the things I ignore, in order to relax a bit and feel normal. I doubt it adds up to much. :wink:

I liked being 34. At 34 you are fully grown up but not old. People respect your judgement but still expect you to be fun. Your body is in full bloom but not going to wilt for a while yet... Lovely. I'm 53 at the mo (54 this month) and feel like I'm falling to bits lately. 34 is far in my past...

You could fry an egg on the burning power of a Dorito (probably)! :D

Oh. My. Bernstein! Tut tut at your low-carbist rant there Borofergie! Don't judge every low-carber by the behaviour of a fundamentalist few! If I want to break Burgen with a group of low-carb friends and chew the fat about broccoli I WILL! It doesn't mean I'm "judging" those who are eating the...

My partner has been very supportive but about two weeks in he went mental and came home with a HUGE bag of chocolate bars etc! It was a one off and I don't know what inspired it. I think perhaps he was a bit panicky that I'd somehow force him to be a pretend diabetic, but now he knows I still...

Think you mean this: http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/heart-drug-could-cure-racism/story-fn6e1m7z-1226292825803 Seriously :***: ? But how brilliant if we could use it! :lol: I've recently and reluctantly decided to give up on a friend of mine... He has a new girlfriend and they are both...

I'm not sure where you are going with this... It's like a conspiracy theory but without the conspiracy element. And the theory.

This would be more exciting if the dog could giver her an injection, or unwrap a sweet, or something. Smelling her isn't hard for a dog. :wink:
