    Jardiance - any good news stories out there?

    Re the thrush, I bought the cream in a 6 pack from ebay I think it was. Same strength but very good price.

    What do these BG figures mean?

    The PALs team at the hospital will direct you to the right dept or just ring and ask.

    What do these BG figures mean?

    If in the UK, you can request your test results from the hospital. This is true whether you were an 'in patient' or your blood etc. was sent there to be tested. There should be no charge for this.

    Insulin injection oddity (?)

    Not always a practical way I realise, but try lying on your side on the sofa for instance so you're injecting straight down.

    Good Afternoon All :)

    I hope they make sure you don't get the trolley etc with a squeak or wonky wheel! Hope you are on the mend soon.

    Fibre supplements

    Would you be able to tolerate butternut squash? Works well for me. To prepare it I chop off a thick slice, peel and chop it then cook in the microwave for about 6m in a bit of water.

    Is control easier with insulin?

    Hi, as far as I know if the gp has prescribed gliclazide they must also prescribe testing strips.

    I blame McDonald’s

    Ah, knees! Their lies the problem for me. Apparently I have 'footballer knees'. Well it made me smile when the physio called them that. Going upstairs and climbing up is fine but not the other way.

    T1 Prescriptions refused

    Plus the above advice, if you are also under a local hospital consultant, they are usually very good at sorting out instances like this and very quickly :) .

    Having had proper flu many years ago and then a relapse that turned into pneumonia over the next few weeks, I have no problem deciding to have the jab.

    Flu and Pneumonia Jabs

    Had the pneumonia one off jab but just get the annual flu jab at ASDAs now and free. Big plus is not mixing with sick people at the surgery and done at a time to suit me and not them.

    I see we share the same expensive tastes re the quinoa ryvita. I have a couple a day with various toppings. Husband looks out for them on special offer. Don't seem to break and crumble like the others.

    Visit to My GP

    My gran's sister went to the TTs pre 1920s. Have a photo of her on her bike in Runcorn. Looks a character. [emoji1]

    T2D and insulin. Diet?

    Hi, we are advised to only take increased insulin for such things as sick days and then only small increases. Generally the dose stays fairly constant.

    Anti vegf injections

    I've recently finished a course of 12 similar injections. It was fine. Ask them to put extra numbing drops in if you like but unlikely to be needed. Worst bit for me was the unpleasant taste in my mouth about 30 mins after as something worked its way through. But by then I had nearly walked back...

    GCSE biology textbook - diabetes section...

    Might be worth contacting the publishers too at some point if this is a new text! I wonder how many legs a glucose table has. [emoji3]

    kerrygold Stocks?

    Yeo Valley butter is UK and organic and the cows are grass fed whenever possible according to their site. Kerrygold cows are not grass fed 100% of the time either. Personally I like a Cornish salted for cooking and the Yeo Valley organic spreadable for the occasional crispbread. Uses organic...
