Hi, I just came across your thread today. I’m wondering how you are and how you are coping now. I hope that things have improved for you. Did you watch the video of Dr Bernstein that was posted. I have taken comfort from that... hoping that getting blood sugars under control - easier said than...

Hi! Just read your message, you have given me hope, thank you for posting [emoji106]

Had another look around the shelves and I’ve found these which might be of interest. Robert Graves - Goodbye to All That Siegfried Sassoon’s trilogy - Memoirs of a Foxhunting Man, Memoirs of an Infantry Officer and Sherston’s Progress My bookshelves are a nightmare as there is no order at...

Just come across on the bookshelf, August 1914 by Solzhenitsyn. From blurb on the back cover, “August 1914 is his greatest book, a vast , panoramic epic of war, it’s heroism and tragic bearing on the destiny of a nation.”

It seems that there are many more books on the Second World War than on the First. I’ll send you two novels which you may have already read or seen the films. And I’ll get back to you later with other titles as I have a terrible memory so I’ll have to look them up. I’m reading World War One...

Hi Joanne, The best thing to do would be to ask the doctor, but I think if his/her weight is fine then he or she is most probably going to be longer than the average newborn. I was told my baby had a Winnie the Pooh tummy after one scan... bless him ... I had a very difficult pregnancy...

Hi, I found when I was able to use Libre (I can’t now as after a few months I developed a really terrible allergic reaction to the adhesive) that my Hba1c was actually lower by 0.4/5points than my Libre estimate. So hopefully you will be nearer the 7.5 mark[emoji120] Anyway, I don’t see why...

Hi there, sorry to hear you’re having such a hard time of it. I’m not sure exactly how to change care provider, but I’m sure someone on here knows how to do that and can give you some advice. If no one answers your calls or keeps canceling your appointments I’d say that’s a case for changing...

Glad to hear you have had the c peptide test. Steroids and diabetes control don’t agree with each other at all!!! Let’s hope you’ll have some answers regarding the state of your health and future healthcare soon! Let us know! Ps I have no sick day plan either ... I just muddle through ...

Hi, I think you should contact your GP and get an emergency appointment. I’m type one so I don’t really know much about type 2. But your levels are really high and if you are ill they can only go higher. High Blood glucose levels over a period of time can and do cause all sorts of diabetes...

Please go to casualty and get yourself checked out. You could be type one as many others have mentioned. You have dangerously high bg levels and although I don’t want to frighten you you could fall into diabetic coma. Please go to A&E and let us know how you get on. Big hug xxx

I’d say the peanut butter from the brand Whole Earth, it has no added sugar and everyone in my family loves it.

Hi, if you haven’t already read it, check out Dispatches by Michael Herr, highly recommended. I’ve also read “If I die in a combat zone”. Great book. I went through a Vietnam War reading phase too. I went through my Second World War phase again recently, but back doing WW1 with my son at the...

So glad I read your post as I too am allergic and couldn’t remember what I could buy to help as I don’t want to give up the Libre, I have reduced my hba1c by 20 points and am so happy ... I am allergic to the glue and not the filament (luckily) my diabetic specialist has given me cortisone (not...

Thankyou!!! I will try it!!

Hi all, I was wondering if any one on this forum has participated with their families in the Trialnet study and if so what have been their experiences. My son has been in this trial for 12 years and so far so good, but I am curious to know of others’ experience.

Hi this has happened to me on various occasions ... it feels like living in hell .. no matter what you do it doesn’t work... so I fee for you.. Have you tried changing your set? I imagine you have .. try changing it again in a completely different area ... I imagine you’ve done this too ...

Me too[emoji4]

Hi, the one I am inspired by at the moment is “I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship” Louise M. Alcott Good luck for the event in Birmingham!

Hi, I am someone who has problems with feet and legs due to diabetes, if I were you I’d get an appointment with my GP or diabetes consultant. Not finding a pulse could be a mistake, but if there is definitely no pulse then this could be a sign of diabetic complications. You should get a GP...
