Hi I have read often on the forums where retailers deny knowing that products for those who have or buy for diabetics are VAT free. So here is a link from Gov.uk site re VAT Notice 701/7: VAT reliefs for disabled and older people (note HMRC admits terminology is all encompassing and may be...

When I originally posted, I thought the problem was just an odd incident and more likely to be the individual having a bad day. I did not think the problem was as wide as it appears, there have been some sad stories told, and in telling them they must have opened old wounds. For those members...

Happy Friday everyone. Well today, my vampire reading was 5.6. I am a happy bunny with that Hope you all have a stress free and happy day today

Good morning all, today's result is 5.9. Hope you all have a very good day ahead

Thanks for all of the replies, it seems like life in general, there are few who will claim the moral high ground to suit their own ego's. Unfortunately, they have loud voices, but empty vessels make most noise they say. If I have to have T2, then I am just happy to be in same club as Steve...

@NicoleC1971 - your comment of 'Walking Deficient Doughnut Muncher' was very much in line with the opinion I was getting, and I just love that phrase so in moments of levity, that I will use as a retort in future in response to 'well why' - 'because some people think I am Walking Deficient...

Hi Thanks for the comments, which I have found interesting,. In my personal opinion, a person who chooses to ignorant will always remain ignorant and not open to another opinion or view. The lady in question did generalise that T2's over eat, lacked exercise and a host of other issues, but...

Hi I want to vent my spleen so to speak and ask how many others have experienced Diabetes snobbery. I know not everyone is like this, but last night, with friends - in of all places a pub, while subject of my diabetes come up, as I was drinking a very nice single malt (rare for me to drink...

6.2 this morning. (Note to self: Avoid toast and Marmite as evening snack - even if it is Sainsbury's low carb bread!)

@DavidGrahamJones - I use the Freestyle liber too, and your comments about wearing it like a 'person might wear as the result of a court or prison order,' made me laugh. I now have to be careful next time I visit the clinic, as the nurse may state 'You do not have to say anything, but it may...

Morning everybody, today I was 6.5.

Wife delayed finger pricking this morning with non chocolate Easter present:angelic:, was 7.1 when I did measure, up from average of 5.4.

Morning to all, today I was 5.4. After only 1 week of testing, It appears that this is my normal, if I can be considered normal, hopefully the diet and exercise will lower it somewhat in coming months. Either that or like the two Korea's, it will be a static co-existence with occasional...

LGBTQIAPK, i thought that was a village in Wales :angelic:

Good morning all And this morning's finger prick results are in and they are....... 5.3 And I am happy with that which gives a happy start to the bank holiday :)

Thanks for all the replies. Well just done a finger prick test and now BG is 5.3 before I have something to eat then head off home. This new world of rise and falls in my BG is like the stock market - always up and down

@rom35, thanks for your reply - hopefully the start of my LCHF diet will give my bloods a Spring Clean soon. The 12.6 spike alarmed me a little, as I was not expecting that. Just trying to understand why it was that high, and if a warning (and for what and what do I change to stop it - e.g...

Hi, can any one advise if high spikes following exercise are normal for a Type 2 Today after a breakfast, of bacon sausage, mushroom and tea, no sugar (still not used to this none in tea), I rode my bike to work which took 40 mins, My ride is 80% farm track 20% road and I try and use a gear...

Why not remove the 'Want' and 'Will power' from the equation, they are very emotive, and replace them with 'motivation'. We are all different, individuals, unique, with different things we enjoy that motivate us into doing things. In my case, my motivation to take more exercise and not eat...

A respectable (for me), 5.6
