    I am so worried about you. Your blood sugar levels are extremely high! I don’t understand how they thought it was ok to discharge you from the hospital. I agree with other posters who think that it is scandalous you were sent home in this condition. Already a bg of 18 is dangerously high...

    my daughter recently diagnosed with Type 1

    Hi, I’m so sorry that your daughter has been diagnosed with type one. Bless her, it must have been a shock for you all. I wanted to let you know that are a couple of book titles that Robinredbreast helpfully put in another area of the forum. I think it is books and product reviews. I would have...

    Hi, we eat out at a gluten free bakery which does lunches too, we go especially for my son as I’m not fussed about eating pizza and stuff... but he misses his freshly baked “real” bread, focaccia and pizza. We have also found a restaurant which only serves gluten free perfect for Coeliacs as...

    Elective Amputation Re peripheral neuropathy

    I just thought I’d add that I’ve been taking the 600mg ALA supplements for about a week now and I have noticed that it affects my blood sugars in that it seems to lower them ...
