For someone with GD the guidelines are flexible and should be discussed with your Diabetic Team as they may be different to normal T1 and T2 levels. They should be agreed with the prospective Mom in the early stages of Pregnancy.......

I can only speak for my area in the West Mid's.......this was actually mentioned by a DSN I was talking to yesterday about Diebetes treatment in general. The general impression from her was of horror that a hypo could be inflicted on somebody deliberately. She also stated that a Mars Bar and/or...

Thanks for the link.......just so we are clear about this we are talking about injected Leucine into the Hypothalmus of Rat's.....not the consumption of what is an essential amino acid by Human's....... TBH, I think your earlier assertion is a bit wide of what was actually stated in the...

Why don't you....... a. Phone the Pharmacy and see what strips are regularly prescribed in your area. OR b. Phone and ask the Surgery/Practice what exactly they DO prescribe. Everywhere has different policies, but basically if it is in the BNF61 (Prescribing Bible) there shouldn't really be...

It's a pity you don't have a direct link to the actual article you refer to rather than just a link to the APS in general where it is not mentioned. As the New Scientist is also online, it would have given your comment more validity. Never mind....... Aspartame detractors are many, although...

Do you have a source for that information ?

BP....... There is a large thread here in Diabetes Medication and Drug's entitled Lantus Problem's which may be of interest to you ? Many Member's have problems with it, however there are just as many who don't.

Izzy. There is a tablet version of Victoza in the pipeline but as far as I am aware it is still in the Trial stage as we haven't seen an official announcement yet ? If anybody has a link to the information about it it would be useful if they could post it in the Victoza thread........ Last...

Urine Tests are useful for diagnosing many things......... http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/health_advic ... sample.htm

Good question Ron........however anybody answering you must remember that the mentioning of the locations of practices etc and HCP names is not allowed on the Forum, whether good or bad. That is this Forum's policy. If Members wish to name places, individuals etc then please use the pm system...

Re: Cholesterol Here is a link to Cholesterol information from the NHS. http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Cholestero ... ction.aspx You also need to consider all the other risk factors......it isn't just about Diabetes...... http://www.diabetes.co.uk/Diabetes-and-cholesterol.html There are...

Hi Jannette & Lewis. Welcome to the Forum. I think at times many of the Mom's and Dad's have felt the same as you, however in due course you can bet your life you will find them answering your post and offering great support and advice from their own experiences. Yes, it does get better...

Hi Guy. Welcome to the Forum. Slightly confused as to why you would think the place isn't used much :?: This site is probably the best and most well used Diabetic Forum on the Net, over 27,000 Members. Not all active at once thankfully. :shock: Some sections are better used than...

Hi. Welcome to the Forum. Not quite sure how long you have been diagnosed but in any case the information which my pal Sue and I regularly post here may help you to gain better control of your Diabetes........

Thanks for that explanation David.......as you probably have gathered I am passionate about what I do here and making sure others do not make the same mistakes as I did over all those years. As somebody said elsewhere........payback for all the good advice I was given here when I joined...

As stated, keep doing what you know is working well for you. It is a lifestyle and I am sure reading your post that you know you cannot go back to high carb foods other than on the odd occasion, a treat once in a while. Best avoided if you can but well....we are all Human :wink: Plenty of...

David. I am going to be blunt here...... I read this thread this morning and was slightly puzzled.......correct me if I am wrong but it appears to be a criticism of myself and what was posted for some reason ? Nowhere in this thread have I ever told anybody to ignore the advice of HCP's. You...

One thing to remember is that when you eat......your Bg levels will usually rise post meal. When you inject Insulin that is designed to lower the levels after the meal. The trick is getting the balance right, avoid hypo's and hyper's, which at the beginning is not easy. Hopefully you will...
