    Are People Here Still Using The Same Lancet More Than Once?

    Same here. However I did misplace the pen and used a spare. So much easier to click. I think I will change that more than once every 5 years in the future. [emoji1]

    What are you doing now and humorous banter.

    I should be having an eye appointment at our local hospital. They cancelled it 2 days ago. I suspect it is something to do with the 70th birthday of the NHS. Party time!

    Holiday - Newly Diagnosed 10 Year Old Boy

    Although not diabetic, when we are away with the grandchildren and they are off being a bit independent (girls 11y now) they have a snazzy lanyard and tag, with phone numbers on etc. Easy to tuck under a t-shirt so the card is not showing. It was reassuring that they had the hotel name and also...

    Can I Increase Insulin So I Don't Take Tablets As Well?

    Hi. Which insulin are you on? I am humulin 1 and gliclazide. I asked the same question. The hospital DN said need to stay on both as one is fast acting. Although neither are fast acting so far as I'm aware.

    Blood Blister And Diabetes

    The chemists over there sell various Compeed blister plasters. I have used them before and found them to be very good as they protect and cover and stay on for quite a while. When there earlier this year I slapped a couple on heels as preventive. Love walking in Majorca!

    Low Blood Glucose Levels

    Hi. I would be wary of staying on the full dose of gliclazide if you are getting 3.7s. Can you contact the nurse with your figures? Ask their advice sooner than 2 weeks. When I was that low on the Gliclazide I thought I was fully functioning - work colleagues would have disagreed.

    Complicated Case

    Giving the diabetic nurse the benefit of the doubt she may not be that familar with your ibd/bag and its needs. Could the ibd team have a word with the diabetic team to support you? To put you on Metformin without thinking of the usual effect of loose bowels does suggest she has not considered...

    I would make an appointment with the gp and check with them. Maybe say that you were freaked out by the nurses comments. [emoji4]

    Oppo ice cream

    Oppo voucher update! After emailing them, Oppo offered apologies and said they would send out the vouchers. Happily on my birthday :):):) the postie popped 2 envelopes from them through the letter box from different staff. One had a single voucher in, the other had a handful. So I now have £2...

    Trigger finger

    Hi. I have the same on left thumb. I am left handed and it may have started after sawing tree branches! 4 months on I think I have left it to late for a jab to fix it. I am seeing hosp dr in a few weeks for assessment for the minor op. It actually clicks less now that I think means it is worse...

    Oppo ice cream

    I emailed them this morning and they have promised to pop one in the post. I think she thought I had tried multiple times for one offer but hadn't. Lets see if it arrives before Sainsbuys runs out or at least before the warm weather returns.

    White potatoes v sweet potatoes

    Have you tried butternut squash as an alternative? I find I am ok with that. It cooks very quickly too.

    Oppo ice cream

    Oppo send me the occasional email offering to post a voucher to use in Sainsburys but I have yet to receive one. Have others had more luck?
