    What does the UK leaving the EU mean for us?

    I watched question time last night & was appalled at the way the leave voters have been perceived. Firstly that they are stupid & have caused armageddon & secondly that it is ' the residents of ****** towns' that have put us in this position. The call for a second vote is a joke. I do not...

    T1: Cola Zero: Is It ok to drink it?

    Just to add, coke zero is very like diet coke in that it is zero sugars but uses artificial sweetner. The coke life (green bottle) uses a natural sweetner (I think stevia) but does have added sugars as well, so although the sweetners used are better for you, the added sugar isn't! x

    Study to assess if mindfulness can improve type 1 diabetes management

    Great idea & great study, I am sure they will find positive results. However it is absolutely useless unless they can convince mental health teams to take notice of struggling diabetics & manage to get these teams on board so that they will actually refer people for mindfulness. From experience...

    starting Victoza injections

    HI I don't know about reassurance I can only give you my experience. I was put on it & for the first fortnight couldn't face eating much of anything.

    I wonder if you can help.....

    I think you are a lovely positive person who is respectful & caring to those who use this site. That is not due to your diabetes, that is who you are! Anybody who cannot see past the diabetes & see your caring nature is not worth bothering with. Hope you feel better really soon:)

    I think I would be tempted to ask doctor for a referral to a different hospital, as I get the feeling she isn't going to have confidence in were she is currently attending.You can go out of area for diabetic care (at least you can in my area), so that may be worth thinking about. Until then I...
