Gosh been so long I can't remember not having the kit and caboodle!! When I was young and silly I used to go out on my bike for miles without anything (yes diabetic! my mum did NOT know!) I had no fear and didn't see my diabetes as anything different, stupid I know and these days I take the lot...

That's interesting @Jaylee, I am always interested to hear of other's experiences with the dreaded 'eye jabs'. Lucentis and Eyelea are now licensed to treat many more conditions than they were originally licensed for. I originally had a vein occlusion but it is now the DMO that is more...

@Brunneria, your words cheered me up no end!! Thank you and yes I will try and get a pic sorted! You are right to be jealous as she is beautiful just I've put myself on the back burner to devote my full attention on her, maybe time to delegate a bit more....

Thank you @noblehead and @azure ,and everyone else whom has posted, your words are kind and I feel much better today for having had a lovely afternoon nap! 3 hours to be precise!! What a wonder sleep is! When I posted last night my sugar levels had reached 25!! A first in a very long time and it...

A Collie!!!!!! And terribly exhausting!!!! and naughty! Our old beloved was a collie so we thought we knew them......

I'm a holistic therapist and love all things 'natural' so thank you for your input! I've had a lovely bath tonight and feel much better but I am a 'stressy' person and worry about the world and everyone in it!! Including myself!! I have the worse case scenario congured up! I always think of...

Yes @himtoo it is probably more than a puppy issue!! So much going on....as you know it is hard, and your words are always a comfort! It just sucks sometimes when you sugars are in the 20's and you can't get them down and you know you have complications that won't do any good by that!! I'm...

yes, you are right and she is lovely, I just can't see the wood for the trees at the moment!

Thanks that's all I need! x

I haven't been on the forum for a little while, that is probably because I've been ignoring my diabetes!! I lost my beloved dog of ten years this year and my sugar levels rocketed!! Understandable I'd just lost my best mate! by accident or fate I've taken on a puppy whom is lovely but soooo much...

Try to stay calm and remember to ask...eye clinics are busy places and in my experience are always in a hurry. Take a minute to write down before hand what you would like to ask and ask! It is a complex area of health care and I have sometimes felt the doctors have felt you would not understand...

Don't get muddled! Gravy bones or any other dog treats take sooooo much longer for me to recover! meanwhile your dog is doing somersaults on jelly babes!!:arghh:

Your dog looks gorgeous! What a star! My equally gorgeous but rather old now border collie has no idea about my needs! However my cat....frequently wakes me in the night, always thought he had his own agenda but once roused my sugar levels are usually low! I've had him from kitten and he is...

I think if i only planned to work till lunch and had no food or insulin, 2pm would be 'my' personal max, (I start getting hungry by then, lol) As I said before, take your insulin with you anyway and a snack in case of working on, a couple of units (or whatever you take) with a snack will usually...

I enjoy a drink, dry white wine usually lowers my sugar levels considerably but lager usually raises it temporarily and then lowers it later, you have to find how you react and others have said a snack before bed is a good idea. Drinking with food is usually better so at lunchtime with a meal...

I'm just trying to get this...someone told you that as you had no insulin you had to go and get it? I often go out without my insulin if I think I'm not going to need it, and at times regretted it! If you use a pen it may be worth taking it with you wherever, but I have yet to practice what I...

Are your glucose levels stable now? I ask because it can feel very strange when you have had a period of high sugars going back to normal sugar levels. Your body takes some time to adjust again to the 'norm' and can make you feel tired and even a little shaky! Or as @catapillar has said if they...

I also drink diet drinks, in my teens I probably drank more diet drinks than I do these days but still enjoy the odd tipple! (I'm quite partial to the odd stella too since you mentioned it!) Of course you can include diet squash in the equations too, I used to drink Robinsons R but I favour...

Good point!

That's interesting @azure and this is all giving me something to think about! I often wondered why I couldn't use my trusted Humalin S! I think it boils down to the care and knowledge of individual Diabetes teams, mine offered one type of pump and one type of insulin!! It is certainly an option...
