Was my 50th Birthday yesterday- felt very old this year & couldn't even eat loads of cake to make myself feel better!! Anyway being short of strips I had a day off testing yesterday but was still very restrained. Anyway have tested after my meal this evening & my BG was 7.4!!! Am really pleased...

Can't really be of any help bit just to say I am sending you lots of 'get we'll vibes & to say I think I know a bit how you feel. When my asthma was really badly uncontrolled (before I was on steroids!) I can remember having flu & then being SO bad with my asthma that I was in bed for over a...

Only been diagnosed for a week so working hard to get my levels down. Saw my GP last week & he has referred me for retinopathy check but didn't give me an idea of how long I'd have to wait. Anyway since then my eyesight has really deteriorated- I usually have to wear reading glasses but...

Hello, I introduced myself a couple of weeks ago. Have been diagnosed now Type 2!!Saw GP last week told me there was no evidence to suggest that testing helped control(?!!!!) I told him I'd bought a meter- he eventually agreed to prescribe me 50 strips & some lancets to get an idea of foods I...

Hello all - just to say hello. I am literally just in the process of being diagnosed - they have mentioned Type 3 caused by the steroids I'm on for another medical condition which is very debilitating & a big challenge to cope with!!! I have had unbearable thirst for a few months with horrendous...
