I still want to get it checked first though and therefore cannot go on gluten free diet until tested, as this can provide false negative results. I will however give it a go sould my results come back negative. Last nights dinner was heavy in gluten and I puffed up like I swallowed a gas hose...

Over the years I have has regularly suffered with bad stomach, at one point the bouts were very frequent but stool sampling did not show infection as the cause and I was basically told it is one of those things. The first time I really suffered was after my first miscarriage just over 10 yrs...

How can you tell if something turns from cellulitis type infection into a formed cyst that may now need draining? My infected site area has totally changed shape. It feels slightly more compact on the suface, but deeper/rounder and a little more balotable. Its still quite hard, but a lot more...

Steady, aerobic exercise causes your blood glucose to decline, however, non aerobic exercise will cause your blood glucose levels to rise. I found when I started going to the gym, I was doing all the aerobic stuff 1st, then was finishing up with the weights and stuff and often my BG could be...

I have had my blood taken plenty, but also take blood frequntly. The thing I notice from those that are good and bad is this: Those that take time to feel for the best vein are better than those who look for one. In practice too, I have learn't that the best ones are not always the most...

More abx, some dressings and a repeat appt. to go back tomorrow, and I thought I was being a time waster!

Am off to the GP, its looking a little less red this morning, so feel a bit of a time waster, but I'm going anyways.

Its not an open wound Hana. The holes left by a pump cannula are very small and close very quickly. As I explained earlier, it is presenting as cellulitis, so whilst there has been a lot of pus to start with, the hard lump is swelling and increased interstitial fluid, to prod and poke it would...

He said to get it checked out, but didn't put a timescale on it. The thing that they seemed most concerned about is if I become pyrexial, which I am not. In fact that was the difference between them keeping me in for IV abx and allowing me to go home with the oral abx. Was obviously told that...

I am going in the morning. Last night the surgeon felt that it was more cellulitis than abcess, therefore not possible to drain.

Eeek, I though all was going well, the redness appeared slightly less, and was within the ine the rather delicious surgeon drew on my belly, but now it is hurting more again and is definitely over the line. Its a ******.

Just got back from A&E now. I ummed and rrrrrr'd, but after still having 4+ketones, high BGs etc etc, decided that it probably shouldn't wait til morning. I had a bag of fluids, ABGs, which were fine and a good old poke by a very scrummy surgeon, who also drew all over me. Been sent home with...

Yeah, it is all under the skin, its like a hot, red, hard boiled egg. The hole from the catheter has actually sealed, so am a little paranoid that if there is more goo, which I expect there is, that it will explode out. I do feel rough and I am ketotic, though am also apyrexial but am inclined...

Seriously? Thats a bit frustrating, was only in the GPs at 3pm with my sons ear infection! Will book something 1st thing. Thanks Sue.

Had my pump for 3 1/2 years and this has not hpened before! I decided to change my pump a bit early, cos the site was painful, but assumed it was because it was positioned under the waistline of my jeans! Took the line out and it instant oozed a lot of green pus. (ewww) the area that was under...

When I was at school (a long time ago) I was on a strict diet and was supposed to eat at certain times. I remember the 1st time I had an exam that also coincided with my mid morning snack. Without thinking about it, I took in a packet of crisps!!! Big mistake! If you have to eat in exams...

There is nothing to stop you giving birth naturally. How has your control been throughout the pregnancy and the last few months prior to conception? It is likely that you will be on a sliding scale of insulin during established labour, which can make it a little trickier to be mobile, it is...

Hahaha Suzi, your post just reminded me of when I was at school. I used to wear an SOS necklas and medic alert bracelet. It was a strick all girls school, no makeup or Jewellry allowed. I used to love getting puled to one side by a prefect and telling them to basically sod off! (but in a much...

This is something that has fascinated me for a long time, mostly because the differece can have a massive implication on neonates after birth of diabetic mothers and the potential unnecessary introduction of formula milks. (a neonate's BM's are lower and cut off in our unit for action is 2.6)...

There's a wagon? Bother, that must be where I am going wrong!
