It goes about midway up my shin, my weight has gone up but I'm training hard again for competition so it goes up a few pounds

Don't know if this is the right place for this but here goes. Been diabetic for 24yrs this year and have just recently started with swelling of my ankles/feet (before the heatwave started) been for my annual review and circulation/sensation to my feet are good and am on different medications for...

Morning all from the extremely hot (still) North, the locals are still standing around marvelling at the big red ball in the sky wondering just what it is and why they have water running down their faces every time they look up! I'm both melting and swelling up in equal measure, must be...

I'm with you! And I'll bring the Pitch forks and a very nice Muck fork (got lots of tines to get more with)

morning all a 8.1 greeted me today that meter of doom is really throwing the numbers at me. Well all I can say to everyone is take care in this heat everyone, even us up in the Windswept and bitterly cold North are experiencing a hot spell and the locals are worshiping the strange red ball in...

Sorry to hear this Bubbsie, it's a horrible situation to find yourself in, especially as you have brought Harry up as your own my heart goes out to you. couldn't imagine it.

Morning all been missing in action lately, but my 23rd Annual review yesterday and was expecting a telling off (as usual) as my control has slipped due to a number of reasons, but wasn't expecting the Prof to say "Ok your HB1AC isn't great but at least its stable (62) and your insulin usage...

Got a few, never had an issue with healing. Used Bepanthen and Preparation H to keep the healing moist and found both to be ok at the job. Just make sure you don't scratch it when the healing starts as if you pull a hard scab off it can pull the ink out (been there and done it not a pleasant...

Hi sory to hear of your problems with work and not supporting you in recovering from nights. I worked nights for a few years (16 weeks continuously then onto days) I found that if I ate as normal on a night and took my insulin as I normally did it didn't throw me off kilter too much, mine was a...

Morning all from a overcast North, well guess what? It's only bloomin Friday!! A full programme of drinking, partying till the wee small hours, eating like it's going out of fashion and lying in until afternoon, and most of all Enjoying myself!! Now doesn't that sound like a weekend of dreams...

That's brilliant!!

Happy Birthday @gennepher hope the art class enjoy the strawberries and cream. Well it seems that I have to adjust all my rates on my pump as the meter of doom is still playing dirty tactics with a 14.2 this morning, now this is after a heavy training session last night which should have...

Well good morning all, the meter of doom is now trying dirty tactics! you get up feeling like you have done a hundred rounds with Anthony Joshua, thinking that you have had a hypo during the night only for it to say triumphantly 10.2! stick that in your pipe says the meter! But I just wanted a...

Morning all from another sunny day here in the far North (county Durham) well an unwarranted 12.9 greeted me at 5am can't for the life of me work it out as am training harder than I have for a while and I normally suffer with hypo's during the night, am at a loss but that is the way of the...

Morning all a 7 was thrown at me this morning, which I will take after all the debauchery and shenanigans that I got up to at the weekend (I wish) enjoy the rest of your day everyone.

Morning all, a very foggy North East on my way into work at 5am makes for interesting driving what with the amount of people who don't put their headlights on (it's a pet hate for me) well the meter of doom threw, petulantly I may add, a 5.9 at me at 4:30 I think its as peeved as me to be up at...

I have proliferative retinopathy, had 9 lots of laser in the eye and have lived a normal life with it (other than the couple of days it takes my eyes to settle down, but that's just me) I weight train, walk do everything that I normally would. y consultant told me that it wouldn't be affected by...

Morning all from a slightly cloudy North East, a 9 was unceremoniously thrown at me by the meter of doom today, I think it was totally not fair, unwarranted and I'm taking my toys home! At least there was no more "Chewgate" from Sidney one protest chew and I think its worn him out!!! And it's...

Sidney "The Handsome" he's only been here for 4 months (we adopted him from another family whose circumstances changed) and its like he's been here all his life, good as gold except when he feels like he's being "neglected" but he is funny with it
