Hello has anybody had any positive news on the fs libre system in Glasgow yet ? I’m gearing up for a struggle. I have a clinic appointment at Queen Elizabeth at start of January. Happy new year to all.

Happy...

Become a MP it appears to be extremely well paid, perks, pension, etc and do absolutely sweet f.a. Only a thought

I change them when ever it occurs to me, I suppose there’s “ experts “ will tell you single use only, but it’s whatever you feel comfortable with.

Hello mush, the cataract op is usually a day surgery thing but with me due to issues with anaesthetic it meant I had to get family member to come and get me. I went to hospital myself. The op was done under a local and I was quickly finished. Any invasive surgery is potentially risky. Once the...

“ oh no that could / do you want to /kill me “ or “ oh no that causes cancer “ or else just say to her “ could you for once ****** listen NO “ I know what one I would use with a tad more relish though. When she gets her fright eg amputation of some appendage ( and this will happen ) take her up...

Hello Fingers a small thing but if done can be beneficial is this, break everything up into small chunks, it works, cheers bud

In my introduction article I mentioned that I have complications and one of them is blindness but I consider myself very lucky “ in the kingdom of the blind the one eyed man is king “ so I wear my crown at a jaunty angle. My vision in my good eye is very very poor so I tend to tread lightly and...

Mid back and not too far in, as I mentioned I’ve got two frozen shoulders so my movement is very restricted, easier on the right side ( of my back ) but my front right side is useless or is that just me ?

Hello Icelover I have just read your post and it’s all new to me and a eye opener, I’ve been type 1 for 44 years and only recently got my medtronic 640 and I have never heard of the accu check and from what I read the cellnovo appeared to be fantastic, so thanks for the info but more importantly...

Hello Sweetheart 66 I too am now on this pump and I am finding the freedom very refreshing but I have found certain places and sites on my wee fat body work better than others. My hands are taking a pounding with bg checking a lot so as to try and get the levels correct but there are many...

Is it not rolls and egg ? As a native of Govan but never a student ( except school where I was asked to leave, not expelled) that’s how I would say it, only a thought .

Hello Caitlinx don’t worry about it, it just means you’ve got to adopt a slightly different attitude / approach, you’ll read labels more, become aware of good things, that’s not to say you can’t have nice things all you do is count them into your regime which will fall into place quickly...
