There are lots of open water swimmers in the UK, and there is sound information to find online on where you can and cannot swim! Have a look here if you're interested: https://www.outdoorswimmingsociety.com/uk-wild-swimming-groups/ I'm sorry you feel that way, and I hope you'll be able to...

They don't provide every girl above the age of 10 with a sharps box to get rid of their monthly waste. The clue is in the name, it's for things that are sharp.

A sensor really doesn't belong in a sharps box. It isn't sharp, and it has a battery.

How did it go? I'm only checking in now, too busy all day and about to log off again. I hope they were very understanding and know their business. However it went, I think it's very, very brave that you actually made the appointment! Enjoy the book club!

Yes, please look into it! It's one of the few treatments without side effects, definitely worth trying. From personal experience I can recommend an almost daily open water swim, I think that's what drove my very long time depression off, but I can understand this is not for everyone... I'm...

Would having some support here tomorrow morning help you? You've been doing so much better since you've started this thread, I think you'll manage to deal with getting to this appointment all by yourself too. I can't promise to be here before you leave, I'm having a very busy day tomorrow, but...

Thanks! That's one of the sweetest posts I've received, although I've had many others over the years. :happy: Have you tested afterwards? It may not be as bad as you think, leaving the outer crust and most of the base!

I don't understand this advice at all. How are you treaing hypos? I'm thinking along the lines of her going very high every time you treat a hypo, in that case they could have a bit of a point. But I'm not sure this is what is going on. If it is, it just tells you she usually needs a less...

The sensor is not sharp, so this would be a waste.

Chinese takeaway on the bridge, second day. :hungry: I found two dishes that are pretty low carb and that I like a lot, a small sized portion from both lasts me for two days, perfect for when I'm too busy to prepare proper food. And busy I have been! I had a 7 day stint on the bridge last...

Have you used one before? If not, they do a free sample, as does Dexcom.

Hi @Thulani Mtetwa , welcome to the forum. Different things could be going on. According to your profile, your treated with diet only, no medication. What is a typical day of food for you? All carbs turn to sugar in the body, and many of our T2 members have had great success treating their...

I agree with the others to ask for a C-peptide test to see how much insulin you are pruducing yourself. If you don't produce enough (either because of an auto immune thing (T1/LADA), or because your treatment damaged your pancreas (T3C), the treatment you need is clear. I'm assuming this is...

Sensor has a battery so it goes with batteries. I throw my applicators in the general waste.

Everything goes with cheese sauce, trust me!

Butter, cream and cheese is on the list, those things can make any boring protein interesting!

In your previous post you mentioned low cal meal replacements, here you mention low carb. Are you looking for low cal and low carb meal substitutes? For all meals or for some meals? Not sure what you mean by a 'low carb reset', what is your usual diet like? As for losing weight, I've never...

Hi @GLev , thirst and a dry mouth associated with diabetes is caused by high blood glucose. What are your blood sugars like, and do you test when you're thirsty? Dry mouth and lips can be caused by a number of other things. No one on here will be able to tell you if you'll need insulin, but if...

Any particular nutrients you are looking for? Are you looking for a meal replacement shake or more for something like a snack? With what goal?

Semglee is another insulin glargine, like Abasaglar, Toujeo, and Lantus. Still, slight differences between them so worth a try.
