I have put a post in diabetes discussions about my journey with breast cancer and a link to an article and photos on the mail online (wednesday just gone). http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5573469/amp/Cancer-survivor-proudly-shows-flat-chest-double-mastectomy.html I also have two...

Hi @daisyduck I am so very sorry to hear your news, and I hope dearly that you can get good treatment and care. Please have a look at professor robert thomas info on websites ref diet for cancer... He was leader in research that established pomi-t capsules (available on net)... gut flora is...

My hubbys postmortem showed normal liver and no artherosclerosis from low carb higher fat diet... didnt stop him dying at 51 from aortic dissection though!! Some aortic problems diet will not alter...

@ickihun I dont think T2's are lazy-(being a T1). Glad not to be listed in the category of "some'l [emoji38] Life is difficult enough without having to put up with judgemental persons... I so wish that everybody on this planet could become non judgemental for any "different" people, whethers...

Good for you @ally1!

Please remove me, as after my husbands death I cant be impartial at all. I am fighting the NHS and really haven't time or patience to do the role of a mod justice. Wishing well to other nominated persons and all those finding time to moderate currently.

If unconscious then 999 should be called. If still able to talk but not making sense it would be ok...

Thank you so much...

Thank you everybody for your support.

Very hard after Johns care in hospital and ambulances but I have to keep raising awareness for women that other options are possible... And that we shouldnt have to go through psychologists when women having reconstruction dont have to!

Nothing to do with diabetes except that I am a long term T1 diabetic and this is mentioned. Do not look if you are scared of scars but it is an article about breast cancer and my fight... My husband died beginning of March and he saw photos and knew of article being prepared. He would be proud...

As you are on injections, have you monitored your B12 intake from food or vitamin supplements? Theres two main causes of B12 depletion..1) is from pernicious anaemia or from dietary -not eating enough. And of course some drugs like metformin can reducd it too. Normally if dietary then it can be...

Levels do need to lower down to under 8.0 but its hard for any nurse to set up a starting dosage... it all depends upon weight, activity, lifestyle etc. We are all unique. Whoever cooks and feeds needs to get their head around carb counting as that will help enormously. If hubby drives he must...

Higher strength better but build up to it. There is so much about the oil on internet for helping more than diabetes..

It sounds like hubby is an insulin dependent patient. So really very little difference between a T1 and T2 in this scenario. Your husband will not feel better until his bloods return to under 8.0. And this should be slowly done to reduce the risk of retinopathy. He needs to have a 3 daily chat...

Injections to be honest... and believe me I hated thought of them..... if they allow you to eat and drink and live.. then so be it... you will cope. Honest

Ok... so although you have been diagnosed as a T2D, I do have a couple questions to ask... but most of all to tell you.... you are not alone..many insulin dependent diabetics are diagnosed as very young children and teenagers... forget whether you arenT1 or T2 you are an insulin dependent...

Please have your T1 specialists show you how to start taking your own control.. You are right that you need to up insulin. Currently you would appear to be not helped by having snacks... but when you have been taught how to carb count, adjust doses then snacks for T1's can be fitted in if you...

Ask your diabetes team about how you learn to adjust your dosss yourself... They should be grateful that a newly diagnosed wants to do this!! Jyst say to them that you want to learn as you realise that you have to be able to do this long term to look after yourself with minimal health...
