    Re diagnosed from type 2 to 1.5

    I informed my insurance today and they really couldn't care less and have the forms printed for the DVLA for as soon as I know what I'm taking, did try to complete it online but fail to validate who I am on the new system lol

    Re diagnosed from type 2 to 1.5

    So after having constant high level instead of just letting my doctor up my tablets as he wanted I requested/insisted I went to see a specialist. I went Friday and he has said that I am actually LADA and need to come of my tablets and go on to insulin once I've seen the nurse, hopefully...

    Personal trainers

    some doctors are able to refer patients to gym to aid weight loss, my Aunt was given free sessions for a fixed period of time when she was diagnosed type 2. It may be worth asking your Doctor where/if they refer patients too. your may not get a referral for free but it should mean that that...

    Running well jogging advice

    Seadragon My first run was a run/walk/run/walk/run/die. But after that I started running all the way, if I start walking I don't want to start again. I've been adding on extra distance in the middle of the run each time so I have to keep going to get home. Got to an average pace of about...

    Running well jogging advice

    Pigdogboy , do you test before and after your run if so what effect does the run have on your levels? I've not tried running in the afternoon/evening yet but plan to as finding it hard to get up early enough to increase the distance time wise and still get to work

    Running well jogging advice

    Hi Sean First of all at no point did I say I can run lol, my other half has offered to video me so I can see what it look like, I've turned down the offer.

    What's everyone's take on this ?

    Thanks for everyone's comments. I posted this after seeing it online for my local paper this morning, before going in to EDI training ( Equality diversity and inclusion) and thought it was quite apt. Personally I felt that there was no discrimination just that the college had no policy on...

    I don't want to eat..

    Hi @Millhouselady Like @Patricia21 you really don't need to be a believer to become part of the church community. Not all church's will try to force their beliefs onto you if all you are really looking for is support. Like Patricia I attend a church in Kent, the one I go to is Church of...

    Just started on Glicazide - when to test?

    Last July I was put onto Glicazide once per day in the morning with breakfast. The reason you have now been given a meter is because you could now start to go low. But don't expect to be able to test multiply times per day and get the strips on prescription as the doctors are only expecting...
