Hi all, For those that remember, I was diagnosed with T2 October 2008 and immediately put on Metformin. Over the last year things have gone from bad to worse, although i've had some good days as well. Had issues with my old doc who said I did NOT need to see the Diabetic Team at the Specialist...

Ello gang, apologies first of all for not being around much recently, but personal issues in my life took my time up: As some of you may recall, I was diagnosed with Diabetes last October after a minor mishap with a pair of jeans and a zip - but thats another story: Everything was seemingly...

Had a nice letter from the doctor this morning and now i'm immensley confused. Here's what it says Dear Mr Oliphant The latest guidelines for Diabetcs indicates that it is NOT necessary for patients who are diet controlled or are on medication such as metformin alone or with Rosiglitazone or...

After beginning to combat the high BM's i've had of times recent, getting sub 8 readings after being in double figures almost constantly, i'm beginning to struggle again. Was in hospital last night due to exceptionally high readings (28.6) and a temp of 38.3, ketones in my urine and a blinding...

Ello nice people - yeah I know i've not been around too much recently, with my recent op and subsequent trips back to see the dr's it's been a bit chaotic. However, i've taken on board a lot of the advise from you lot on here, and all seems to be heading in the right direction for me. For me...

recently, who made such an impression on me, it's unbelievable. During my recent stay in the uber luxurious Ward D2, I was intriduced to a chap called Philip, in his 70's but full of life and character, and he asked me could I help him out by setting up his patientline service for him. Then he...

To be called a liar is probably the most hurtful thing to me - I was brought up to respect elders, be truthful and never try and pull a fast one - ok ringing work saying your ill when you want to go fishing is only a teeny weeny white lie !! Yesterday, someone who i've known for about 2 years...

Today: Had a banana and an organic yoghurt for breakfast, a small brown muffin with ham at dinner, then i've had nothing till about 8.30 tonight - small pitta with donner meat, usual salad stuff and some garlic mayo - done my 1hr post prandial sticking the needle in my finger - expecting it to...

Ok - I know we all chat on here, and sometimes we chat in the chatroom, but, for me personally, I find MSN Messenger a great tool to use - yeah we all know there are idiots out there who can cause you grief, but still a great, and nil cost, way of keeping in touch. If anybody would like to add...

Well seeing as Jem started a Nighty Nite thread, I thought it may be prudent just to start a Good Morning Thread - I find it's always a great way to start the day, but there are a few rules to this: 1) When you say Good Morning - say it with a smile, it shows you really mean it 2) Even if your...

I'll start by apologising for the blasphemous statement at the start of this thread, but I felt I needed to warn you all: I'm off work today, mainly because it's my actual day off, and my head is full of random stuff - no doubt i'll be filling the general chat section with most of it, but only...

But yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss :D i found Macadamia nuts yesterday, after a trawl through a million supermarkets (OK a slight exageration maybe) and paid 1.49 for 100gms and 1.98 for a bag with some cranberries in. Read all the nutritional info on them and then tucked in -...

Not sure if this is the right place to do this, but here goes: I was diagnosed with type 2 on the 17th October this year, so it's all very new to me at the moment. If i'd have taken the time to research the net a bit more carefully I may have picked up on it a number of months ago when i first...
