I don't take any supplements. Why do you need to take anything like that?

I think you can be addicted to chocolate, I know I am. If I don’t have any I think about it all the time so I have to go to the shop to get some. I have a very unhealthy diet and people on this forum have been great with advice but unfortunately there are lots of food on the low carb diet that I...

Yes I work in a hospital. I’m not going to inject in the staff room where other people are sitting and people in and out of the room. I don’t carry my testing kit or insulin around with me. Nobody has told me to inject 15/30 mins before eating it’s just the time I try to do it in before I have...

Hi, I'm in need of a bit of advice regarding injecting at lunchtime when at work. I work 12 1/2 hour shifts, I have a 15min morning break, 1/2 an hour luch and a 15min afternoon break. Ive tried to try inject 15min or 1/2 and hour before my lunch but its not always possible infact i can never...

I'm sick to death of being hounded by this poxy. Flu jab, if it's not my Drs its people at work, I've never had it and I'm never going to have so stop keeping on about it!

Just been tested for coeliac and gluten all were normal.

Yes my dr thinks it may be that. I’ve had a gastroscopy done which showed slight diabetic gastroperisis. I’ve had a scan of my pancreas which I’m waiting the result for. Just 2 eggs wouldn’t be enough for me to go work on!

Although I enjoy coffee, that on its own would not see me through till my lunch time at work. Why would carbs suddenly make me hingry? At the moment I’m dreading food as most of it seems to make me feel sick. I used to be able to eat cereal fine and manage until lunch but now I don’t know what...

I would love to not have breakfast in the morning but I'm very hungry once I've got up. How do you skip it without being hungry? I'm struggling at the moment to eat, breakfast is a big issue, in fact all meals are. I can't eat cereal anymore as it makes me feel sick, the same with yoghurt. I...

I have a very sweet tooth and it's all I eat.

I've always been told by dieticians that rich tea and digestives are ok to eat. I'm having rich tea for breakfast at the moment as cereal seems to be making me ill.

Why don't you just use a needle clipper instead one of those horrible bins?

Thanks for that, when I did the conversion it came out st 4.6 and I know it's not that low.!

After waiting since begining of August when I had my anual review I’ve got my hba1c at last which is 86 no idea what that is, I know it high if someone can convert this please.

Thanks so much for all your info. I can only go by my Dr I don't think I can demand to have tests done, he also mentioned a CT scan but I haven't had anything through for that. I think they are doing one test at a time. Obviously if nothing shows up with this gastroscopy next wed I will be back...

Yes I have seen my dr who felt all around my stomach and where I described is where it is tender. He's suggested gastroperisis. He prescribed anti sickness tablets. I am having a gastroscopy next Wednesday.

Can you just not refuse the appointment for the blood test? That's what I would do.

Thanks for all the info. I don't have all the symptoms of GP but I have the nausea, sick, uncomfortable stomach. The top part of my stomach just under my ribs is very delicate, if I have my arms folded it starts to make me feel sick, I can't bear tight clothes around my stomach. I'm not in any...

I totally agree I think the more you take stuff like that your body can't fight things itself. I've had flu once I was in my early 20's and not diabetic. I am hardly ever ill.

I've never had one and never will. I've seen so many people who have them are so ill after.
