I use neuropathy socks for mine but the only thing for me is I’ve never seen a podiatrist for well over 17 years now so I wouldn’t know what my feet are like now because I don’t feel much in them and the last time I did was when I had a piece of glass in my foot and that I took out myself and...

If I have a hypo I use dextrose tablets or glucose boosts or sugar in tea as it’s the easiest and fastest way to get sugar in you and the other way is a mars or snickers bar and they send your sugars high enough that it covers you for awhile and then you can get something like a sandwich or...

Most of the NHS will just tell you that they have a set amount of money and they can't afford it and that goes the same with your GP practice as it's not the doctor who you have to tell it's the the practice manager and they have their finger on the purse and they can tell you that they would...

The GK Tech is one with a large screen and every test strip only needs a small amount of blood and it also uses ketone strips so you will get a good advantage from one meter as Accuchek are going backwards as I know because I had a few of their meters before I got the GK TECH meter and it's a...

Just advice them that you are now taking insulin and what you do is take your blood sugars before you drive as you drive and after you drive as I know because I used to drive emergency vehicles during the night and that's what I was advised to do because they wanted me to check my sugars as much...

I've used them years ago but they are okay to start with but after a few weeks they go flat and you don't feel them and the only one thing that I have found that does work is neuropathy socks that you can get off the internet and they work because it helps with the flow of blood to your feet and...

Haven't seen a chiropodist in years so If I got one I couldn't care less because the last time I saw one is 20 years ago and now I do everything myself even if I get a small cut on my foot I do myself as I was told by the last one not to come back so I didn't and I never got a letter or phone...

I've had loads of DKA's and the only thing about them is they creep up on you and even if you don't have any ketones in your system just having high blood sugars are a worry because this is one of the symptoms and that causes you to drink more and that can be anything that has sugar in it as...

I'm on iOS version 17.5 beta 1 as I'm on the beta program that is how I'm ahead of most of you but I signed up to the beta program when iOS 16 was out and I got all of the new software before it was released to the public so now I don't need to wait for it to be released by Apple when it is...

Baroque 541 did you place the sensor under your arm near your armpit as I found this the only place that doesn't get any readings from the Libre sensor because I found it to come up on my phone saying no connection or sensor not working and replace the sensor due to problems with it but it was a...

Not what I am able to do because I am able to apply for my next one within 6 months before my next one is due even when you get the remainder it states that if you have already applied for your card you can disregard this letter and use the new card as at will as I have all the letters that I...
