Um er...... I may or may not be guilty of a few of these. Can I plead extenuating circumstances? - I park half on road half on pavement because our neighbours across the road moan like mad if I don't that they can't get their car out (try learning to drive properly then cos no one else in the...

I'm not sure about how it is with T2 but I am T1 and I've had 3 surgeries in the last 8 years and each time my blood sugar levels have gone haywire for a while. Needed lots of extra insulin for a while. I'm sure there'll be some other T2s along shortly to respond. Hope you're feeling better...

You're not alone @PaulinaB I am on 125, was 150 until a year ago when I suddenly started to lose weight so they lowered it and I've stabilised again. I am not old (not that old anyway :D)

I couldn't be bothered to read the article after reading the comments but thought I'd throw my two penneth in. I was advised the same thing by my consultant when planning pregnancy. Levemir is best. Also had to stop taking some of my kidney and BP pills beforehand and all the way through as they...

Oops not sure what ant-inflamatories are but sounds like a fun way of passing an afternoon as a kid :D Meant anti-inflamatories doh

Are there other painkillers you could take instead, or ant-inflamatories? I got given co codamol that were too strong by the hospital which made me so sick I ended up DKA in hospital. Am taking lesser strength ones now which work and don't make me sick

If it gets too bad you can always add some senakot. You know, like the advert says, for gentle predictable relief when you wake. (Or more likely run like hell about 3 hrs after ingestion. Should get the blood pumping through the shoulder again lol :D

I had to have a vitrectomy in December under GA. Was paranoid about being too high so ended up hypo when they were doing the pre op checks. They gave me 2 glucotabs and told me to crunch them up really small and I should be ok. Felt such an idiot. They checked my BGs throughout the op just in...

Leg is slowly getting better. I can move the foot a little bit more each day (as per drs instructions). My BG levels also went mad after the op but for about 2 weeks. I was having to double my basal and nearly triple the bolus. Resulting in many highs when I didn't bolus enough. Would hate to...

And if you're anything like me you can never remember which one you bought last time so have a different tasting one every few weeks!

Well done all of u that managed to quit. And good luck to those trying. I hang my head in shame and say that I was diagnosed at 13, started smoking at 15, quit at 30 when pregnant, started again at 33 after a bereavement (5 yrs ago), Broke my ankle badly 3 weeks ago and the surgeon asked if I...

I was never really taught about correction dosing just figured out what works got me. It depends how high I am. At 9, 1 brings me to about 6. At 12, 2 brings me to about 5. At 18, 3 brings me down to about 5. Not really very exact but it works (although I do try not to end up that high very...

Thanks for posting this thread. I never thought that I was experiencing neuropathy until I read some of the descriptions. When I get cold outside then go back indoors touching my thighs is like someone stabbing me with pins wherever I touch. I'd always just assumed it was dodgy circulation

Help. I can't figure out how to add the video via my phone. It'll only let me put on photos. Anyone IT savvy enough with an iPhone 5 with some advice?

Will do. I'll see if I can upload the video when we do it tomorrow

Oh god I think I just weed a little bit when I read that

Oo oo oo I just have to tell someone before I burst. Hubby has to do the ice bucket challenge hehehe. He's going to do it dressed in his panda onesie. Best bit is that he can't nominate me cos I can't get my boot wet ;)

Next day I told all 3 they could do the same to MrB. Now he was REALLY not happy hehe ;)

We used a similar water torture for getting the 16 yr old out of bed. Just gave the 7 & 13 yr olds a water pistol each and told them they had our permission to get him out of bed any way they could. He was not happy but we were

Oh dear what did I start :)
