No problem, that's very kind, thank you

HI, thanks so much, that's very useful info, I was wondering that myself. Your text WAS bold by the way! REgards

HI, thank you so much for your reply. Can I ask, is your pump easy to read to dial up a dose? Do you have to use a magnifier to read it? This is my concern, is a pump going to b e any easier in that respect then a pen. Also, how do you cope when you are out and about> How do yo see well...

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughful reply and yes a bold font helps so much! I do not know if I qualify for a pump or a cgm, it is something I will bring up with my DSN when I speak to her in a couple of weeks. I have never wanted a pump to be honest but now I think it could prove a...

Hi that's great, thank you so much

Hu, that would be brilliant if you could, thank you very much!

Hallo, I would really like to connect with anyone who has both these conditions like me. I am partially sighted and would like to know how you manage doing injections and blood tests, what equipment you use for it etc. Diabetes UK has no groups or advice for this and I feel quite isolated so...

My hba1c is not over 75 but I also suffer from high bp and cholesterol, underactive thyroid so perhaps all added up it makes me go on the list. Which is ok, it's just the confusion of it all that is getting me. 3 weeks after the initial people contacted, I receive a text. Then another saying...

Hi, not exactly. Everyone is supposed to stay inside yes and practise social distancing when we go out for essential food or exercise, but some people are on a high risk list, those who have certain conditions, and they have to literally stay inside for 12 weeks. edited by moderator for clarity

HI, oh I'm glad I'm not the only one! I have been going to the supermarket for the last 3 weeks but since this text I have stopped doing that but still go for walks, which I will still do. It's awful that they are messing with our heads like this, why do GPs not have any idea? I will see if...

Can anyone confirm definitively whether Type 1s have to stay in for 12 weeks? It is driving me mad. Initially I thought we WOULD be on the list but I didn't get a letter, then a few days ago I got a text from the govt telling me to stay in for 12 weeks and TODAY I get a text saying if you...

HI Thanks for reply. Make sure you are on a screening programme though? All diabetics should have it done regularly.

HI I would get on to your GP about it, don't leave it, there is no way an opthamology dept would not have the right equipment??

Thank you so much for your reply. I am being seen by a private consultant for glaucoma and I have had severe retinopathy prior to having much laser treatment and 2 vitrectomies, a trabulectomy (for glaucoma), cataracts done on both eyes. I have been seeing him for 10 years and the eye...

Sorry what do you mean?

Want to get some advice please from those who have had retinopathy treatment. Do you go for regular NHS eye screening AND also go to a hospital consultant, private or NHS, for check ups? I see a consultant every 6 to 9 months because I have had quite a lot of laser treatment and 2...
