    Hi all, new to this diabetes club

    Hi Allanmax Welcome to the club, you have been giving lots of good advice above, and in these early days, like any club, getting used to the rules is very confusing. But ask plenty of questions, even if you think you should know the answer, it is the way I am learning

    Levels after exercise

    Hi Mick I was diagnosed in February, and took up cycling for exercise, and like you I get spikes following the bike ride. As others have pointed out they are to be expected, I take a reading around 90 mins to 2 hours after my ride to see how they are. I have found also, that after 1 hour of...

    Congratulations you are no longer diabetic .. really?

    I am quite shocked that people are not seeing their GP's at least once a year for a review. I am still new to this, having been diagnosed in February, but if it was myself, I would have been badgering to see a GP for review once a year, and if received a brush off I would have taking it to the...

    Freestyle Libre

    I have no issue with company recouping money on its investment in time, product development, trials, approvals, because it takes an awful lot of money to get a product to market. What I do object to is where they manipulate the market for profits - e.g. limit supplies, keep prices high due to...

    3 month review with diabetes nurse

    Gold star for the Nurse. Perhaps, we could arrange for an official recognition for health professionals who go above and beyond what is required.

    Testing my blood at home AFTER an official test?

    @CanadianGuy I have great sympathy with you and anxiety with blood being taken. I have had a phobia of needles all my life, as at age 5 I had a lumbar punch, which was not pleasant in the mid 1960's for a kid. Since then if I have to have blood taken, my veins play hide and seek and have had...

    Stomach problems

    Hi JuJu13 I too am on Metformin SR and had all the associated problems you get with Metformin - sometimes making sure I had unrestricted access to a toilet. I have found taking them half way through a meal has reduced the side affects I was getting significantly, and I take 2 with breakfast...
