Aw Hi Emma, if my husband eats one more flipping cream egg (after whole tin of rice pud) I may commit murder. I'll get my head round it I am sure, very confused at the mo and slightly in denial. It's such am invisible thing at the mo and if it weren't for my eyesight being all over the place I...

Where I work in a medical school there are about 100 tubs of strips and 24 monitors sitting on a shelf not being used, bought for a teaching unit. The strips will be out of date in August. I think I'll ask my boss if I can have them and distribute them somehow because this situation is...

I am cold all the time, the house is draughty and the heating system not great. My feet and particularly hands are freezing, but I was like that pre diagnosis. Three people gave me hand warmers for Christmas! I don't think mine is diabetic frost. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thank you Daisy

Hello I'm Jan, This is a brilliant site, I've been lurking for a while and now I'm taking the plunge. I'm newly diagnosed with Type 2, and I am lost. This is day 4 post diagnosis. I'm on Metformin 500mg /day, which I've forgotten to take this morning, :( so I hope it doesn't matter if it's...
