Me too. I was always told off as a child for using the wrong hand for everything, my teacher at primary school used to say I was determined to be left handed but she wasn't going to allow it. I use my right hand for writing and nothing else.

Well I can't complain that he scored second when he scores a goal like that. I shall have to start picking my next fantasy team very soon.

You stole my answer

Alexis Sanchez for me please. I've got him in my fantasy football team and he's been pretty good for me, unfortunately the rest of my team have been rubbish! No. 17 for Arsenal in case anyone's confused.

I thought I was medium carbing, I have cut out all bread, pasta and potatoes, I am trying to average around 50g of carb a day. I still eat some fruit (berries mainly) and some veg carbs and I still have my cereal because I love it too much to give it up.

A bit more but not a tremendous amount. It's extremely frustrating because after reading everyone extolling the virtues of low carbs I was expecting magical things. I'm not doing very well, I may have to give up.

i do have some lipohypertrophy but not on my stomach which is where my pump is, bread always made sugars rise but nowhere near this much no more than 4 or 5 points.

Thanks for reply, I still can't get it right I was 4.1 before lunch today had a cheese omelette took it as 50g carb and split dose 3 hours later (i always test after 3 hours as there is always a delay with insulin for me) and was 22.3!!

Hi, I've had the vibe for a while now and had another Animas pump before that. I love it, it's very strong, (important for a clutz like me) totally waterproof, (which means I don't have to limit my swimming times) and I've never had any problems with it. The staff at the helpdesk are very...

I need a bit of advice please, I have been trying to reduce carbs for a while but I am getting very high readings after eating no carb food. I know someone said to me before about allowing insulin for no carb stuff and I have been trying that from the beginning, but when I say high I'm talking...

I think it's time for A New England by Billy Bragg (sorry they don't have one for a new UK)

I'm in Berkshire and I am waiting for another counselling service, which has no link to diabetes, but will hopefully be more helpful.

I rang the Diabetes UK careline about this issue as after more than 20 years I was having serious problems - no hypo awareness, very up and down levels and depression leading to insulin abuse in a bid to control when I had the hypos). The counsellor I was sent to by my GP had no clue about...

I have to say I think I'm going wrong somewhere. I'm a carboholic and I hate high fat food but thought I would try some low carb to try and improve my sugars. I have cut out all potatoes, bread and most pasta ( just the odd tin of spaghetti hoops), but I am finding my sugars are rising even...

I sympathise entirely with your parent 'issues', I had a very difficult relationship with my mother and left home at 15 because I couldn't cope with it. I never knew my father who was excellent at abandonment, he left his pregnant wife and 2 small children for my mother, they then had my sister...

There are some Diet Cokes that arent made with aspartame but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to which is aspartame and which is splenda, (only regular diet coke not cherry or lemon) so I'm afraid it's a case of label checking. By the way I mean Diet Coke as in Coca Cola, not sure...

I was 18 and all of a sudden had this strange thirst that just couldn't be quenched, I would be planning what to drink next before finishing the drink I had. My mother, who was a nurse, told me I was addicted to the sugar in the drinks, I disagreed because it was all drinks not just sugary ones...

Oh and I can't forget - A Little Bit Longer by (the brilliant) Jonas Brothers - which he wrote about his diabetes

Picture the scene - a beautiful summers day and a lovely picnic in the park with the children I was nanny to then a leisurely stroll home along Chiswick High Road........ suddenly I collapse to the floor and come round to find a lovely lady holding a bag of frozen prawns to my head, (she thought...
