I do not recall doing anything. I did not notice it this morning and I would not have tonight had my bf not pointed it out. As for my sugar it has been high. We are going to see how it is in the morning and then might go to eye clinic at the hospital. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi I was wondering if anyone ever had counselling re their diabetes diagnosis and if it helped accepting the condition. I have been t2 for 10 years. My control is appalling and I can't seem to stop eating. I think until I sort my relationship your food no medication regime is going to work...

Me too. Worst is weight gain and how much weight can anyone put on. Also worried about having car license taken. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I would definitely say older. I was diagnosed 10 years ago at 25. I wish I got it after I had kids rather than now my possibility to have any is practically none. Also 10 years ago I did not know of places like this one. Maybe with more guidance back then I would have done something about it...

Re: Book recommendations / what are you reading I am enjoying it. I have not seen the film so can't compare it. It is based on a true story. I think it just took its time to get to the shipwreck bit. But I would recommend it :) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

This thread is going to make me cry :( I need a major kick in the butt. Running very high numbers, terrified of going to doctor or hospital. I last0 about two weeks on low carb and then fall off wagon. I feel it is a hopeless situation indeed. I envy those who have such a strong resolve because...

If someone is lactose intolerant then lactose free milk is a good alternative. I used to enjoy milk but now i cannot. Although i mostly use almond milk in my coffee it is not as good to drink it on its own or to use in cooking Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I have lost 5lbs this week. Does that count? I am hoping not to follow previous attempts and gain it all back this week - the only way has to be down Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I have no problems testing at work. In fact all my colleagues have been tested to. When i am out its another thing - i take byetta so if i am in a restaurant i inject in the loo - making sure i touch nothing. The thought of someone seeing me testing and injecting and thinking no wonder she is...

No i know they will put me on it so i have been avoiding going for my check up. Thinking about how much weight i ll probably put on with insulin fills me with more dread. I an already overweight as it is. So it would be vicious circle of insulin more weight gain more insulin. I don't think i ll...

I love milk but i have become ord and more lactose intolerant over the years. I used to have unsweetened soya milk but then i switched to unsweetened almond milk which has 0.4g of carb per 100ml. This is at work. At home i use the lactose free milk. It is a nice treat. Sent from the Diabetes...
