I never knew this either and suspect I'm not alone. With vat back up to 17.5% this is a great saving if you aren't lucky enough to be able to get strips on prescription. Top banana Ken. 8)

Ken, Very useful quote within your last post, thank you. In particular the NICE 2010 guidelines for T2, I never knew that. ahsan, feel free to visit my profile and read some of my recent posts. I'm a recent T2 newbie too and I suspect that you will have similar questions and concerns as I...

OMG, What have I started? :oops: :roll: :lol: :shock:

Thanks Sue. What this tells me is that there is obviously confusion amongst all forum users; myself included. Perhaps a sticky on this topic, somewhere prominant might help?

Re: VICTOZA For those of you getting injections for this drug you may be interested in this article from yesterday's Daily Mail: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/artic ... -jabs.html ( mod. note. that sort of article is allowed as clickable) :D

I think the way around this is to give the web address without the www. in front of it, which I have done on here a few times now (but sadly these have been removed by the mods too :( ). This doesn't create a hyperlink BUT it shows the forum users what the website is called and therefore they...

Before I start please understand moderators that this is an observation and request rather than a criticism. I think this forum is great and it is now my number 1 resource tool for anything diabetes connected. I've learn't so much about betes in a very short timescale here. However, I think...

A few years ago, at a county fair we were visiting, I bought a large tub of organic seaweed stuff for my wife who suffers from eczema. Despite my nagging for some strange reason she never tried it. I dug it out this evening and applied it to my hands and I can see and feel an improvement after...

Moderators, I think you need to move this post to the "Sex & Hypos" thread....... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just for the record, it is possible to have sex without hypos. I just wanted to make that clear. :wink:

Correct. Born and bred in North Lanarkshire. :D

The "newbie" student is learning fast from his masters. 8)

I'll second Nigel's request. I've only started taking them a few days ago so too early for me to give feedback. I also started the acai 1200 capsules today as well. It may just be coincidence, but I feel better today than I have felt in a VERY long time. 8)

I was beginning to wonder how long I'd have to wait to see my first forum "Tiff". 23 days, not bad at all. :wink:

Isn't that a bit like saying you're not a real junkie unless you are injecting heroin? Yes Kate, I think your friend is daft too.

LGC, my plan is diet first, no booze, vitamin supplements and then join the gym. As my weight loss has levelled off at 17 stone and ideally I need to get another stone to a stone and a half off I'm joining the gym any day now.............................honest! :oops: :wink:

Hi ixlpixi, I'm detecting a hint of Scots in your writing style. :wink: I've just started taking Benfotiamine and my super acai 1200 pills have literally just arrived this morning :D so too early to report back on their success as yet. Prior to my T2 diagnosis at the start of this year I...

I think it's a lifestyle thing Kate. What I mean by that is, if you are keeping your BG and cholesterol at medically acceptable levels by only moderating your diet, alcohol intake and increasing (or starting) exercise then the fact that you do not require meds is a very positive thing...

Hi Patch, I'm actually about to order them today. Haven't quite decided which ones yet. I'm one of those strange individuals who actually likes the taste of cod liver oil as my mother used to spoon feed it to me as a kid. :) I have a catalogue here from a company called Healthspan (just...

I hear you load and clear shygirl, but, I'm very reluctant to take any prescribed drugs if I can possibly help it. My belief is that they all have side effects. Also, judging by my wifes experience; the medical profession are adamant that once you are on certain prescribed drugs you have to...
