I recieved one in the post last week and have to say I am pretty impressed with it. The only set back is that the strips aren't available on prescription on the UK NHS so currently you have to spend £30 for 50 strips which is a bit pricey! Otherwise, a fab wee meter. Any one else have any...

Hi there Can anyone tell me what neuropathy pain feels like? I've been a type one for 18 years and had no problems other than battling with my weight and my hba1c! Just recently, in the last 12 months or so, I've noticed I get pains in my legs (mostly at night) which feels like a trapped nerve...

Question for you all. When your sugar goes high, do you find that your stomach cramps up, you get awful wind and you get the runs? (Yeah I know lovely question but I am getting majorly fed up!) Thanks!

:D Hi Just reading about Lantus problems other people are having. What's it all about? Can someone give me some info please as I've been on Lantus since 2004 and a bit worried now! :cry: Thanks!

I started one a day (500 mg) from the 6th July 2011 and I've had some tummy problems. I'm due to start taking...

Does anyone have any idea how to boost your immune system as a diabetic? :? I'm 27 and I've been a diabetic for 15 years now but still get run down all the time despite good blood sugar levels. I get colds, infections, cold sores, tooth abcesses etc and to be quite honest I am getting majorly...

My HBA1C was just tested and I have gone from 9.1 to 10.2 in the space of 4 months. Haven't changed anything I'm doing. In fact I eat less now and have also lost near a stone (14 lbs). Can't work it out. I also have no awareness of hypos. I don't eat white bread or pasta either. Any advice...
