Daft question but how do you know that it's nerve damage...caused by DB? I've been into see my GP today to follow up on my blood tests and BP. ( results not through yet) He was saying that diabetic neuropathy is a very slow burn...I think he wasn't being sarky... and believes that my high BP...

Back using it, as finger pricking is a PITA ( if you will). Sure they are pricey and I don't expect that to drop anytime soon. At the moment, as noted, they are rationing them out even to current customers...so the chance of the prices dropping are between nothing and less.

15!!!! Never seen a figure like that, even on a carb binge. This was after a day with under 5g of carbs all day. Blood tests tomorrow... oh the joys.

Hope it's fixed quickly. Try the Ipswich toe test.

To me it sounds more of a case of self loathing...as opposed to any genuine hatred of You, J9.

Looking for some advice in this, if possible. As noted earlier, I've been showing all the 'classic signs' of DN. Pain in the big toes, heel pain and itching, calf cramps, general allover itching and aching ankles. Apart from the aching ankles, if I'm stood still for some time, it's all but gone...

If you spell it that way, yes.

That is oh so true. I am, however, totally blaming myself for the latest apparent symptom of my DB ( pricking sensations etc). OK! you could say that one was simply unlucky but you do create your own luck...to a degree.

I found/find it to be very good. Yes, as noted, it's not 100% BUT I cannot abide finger pricking. But...as I didn't cross reference with a more traditional meter...it seems that my bloods were still to high for comfort. As one who liver dumps for fun, it was interesting to see that when I got up...

I struggled getting hold of more sensors, I put it down to site issues. I used to buy a few box fulls, now we are stuck to 3 at a time. We will see what my own GP says about having them prescribed, that would be excellent and the savings would be very welcome.

...,I hope it does help. At the moment it feels like my left big toe is on fire. HORRENDOUS. Kind of hoping it's my big toe's way of thanking me...

3 coffees...one with milk, the other cream. No sugar. Smoked salmon from Aldi with fried Halloumi. Beef jerky ( surprisingly 'high' in carb) Rib eye steak and two sausages. Pepsi max.

Forgive me if I've stuck this in the wrong place... Due to the pain, tingles and numbness that has very recently manifested - itself I've invested in one. On my first go I wound it up to the mid 40's and it felt great. Extremely relaxing ...except when the thing decides to really give you a...

Most kind and thank you. I've beaten myself up quite badly over the past few days...and, now, well it's now time to take things very seriously. I will try the supplements you suggest and my revitilse advanced that will arrive at mine tomorrow. Once I've finished installing the downstairs shower...

...note to self. Never have an op' like that again. Two years on and the muscles are still as tight as a drum.

Hi, I was a regular contributor on here at one time and as I appeared to have everything under control...I went off and did other things. Firstly, forgive me and secondly...how wrong was I? I came off Metformin (500mg a day) two yrs ago as the gains I was seeing in a reduced blood glucose...
