Dear All and Families Merry Christmas and have a safe, happy and successful 2010. Special Seasons Greetings to all involved with this wonderful forum. Seabill

Hi Catherinecherub Thanks for explanation on Type 1/Type 2 that I didn't realise. As for Sir Steve, the reason for my annoyance is the article (in my opinion) has belittled him. He was my shining light when I was diagnosed, if he can achieve a 5th Gold medal with diabetes, then I can go about...

Hi All Thank you for your feedback, on the article in MOS on Sir Steve Redgrave. My concern is a paper that carries a weekly supplement on health issues obviously doesn't have an editor of health-related issues. Mr Folley has used the old: 'Why spoil a good story with the facts'. Otherwise the...

Hi Sue Thanks for your reply. On the Diabetes.co.uk page that introduces him: Name: Steven Geoffrey Redgrave DOB: 23-3-62 Hometown: Marlow Diabetes Type: Type 1 Regards Seabill

Hi All The Mail on Sunday (MOS) ran with the above interview, on pages 90 and 91. It states that Sir Steve was driving in Southern France when 'his behaviour became frighteningly irrational'. So his wife (a Doctor) took over the driving and headed for the nearest service station - where Sir...

Hi Prita Congratulations on your choice of research. I was diagnosed on 04/07/08 at the age of 46. Mind you the Doctor in the local A & E said I was Type 2 DSN said I was Type 1. As I was lying on a hospital bed and dealing with a Doctor for the first time in 30 years............. DSN...

HI All Diagnosed on 04/07/08 told to take 24 units Novomix 30 in morning and 16 units in evening. Over a month cut back to 8 units with my porridge in the morning and 6 units with my evening meal. Saw my Diabetes Specialist last week HbA1c is down from 13.3 to 6.8. I have no doubt the...

Yes, Happy, Happy, New Year to All. Seabill :lol:

Hi Fergus Thanks for this update. I just posted on the main forum, just in case it has been missed. $40 million has been pledged to the University of Minnesota by the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation. Goal, to find a cure for type 1 in 5 years. Seabill

Hi Jopar Thanks for some really good information. The Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation have pledged $40 million to the University of Minnesota. Goal is to find a cure for type 1 in 5 years. Seabill

Hi Dennis I hope it all works out for you. When similar happened to me, Doctor told me I was type 2 and DSN said I was type 1. Do you know what you are as yet? Regards Seabill

Hi Phoenix I really enjoyed your thoughts on the importance of exercise with Type 1 in particular. I was diagnosed Type 1 on 04/07/08 and started a management programme of diet, insulin regulation and exercise. If I miss my training my BG increases. It has become an essential part of my routine...

Hi Willogs I agree with you that a shot of insulin gives the pancreas a kick. The stressor for me is I check my BS at 10pm come in at 5.6, have 3 digestive biscuits with butter and a glass of milk and check at 7.30 and come in at 6.9 - why the increase? Kind regards Seabill

Hi Katharine Thanks to you, I researched Dr Faustman - and just watched online a 50 minute interview of her by David Edelman. I learnt so much about T1 and the possibility of what might happen in the future. I really appreciate the lead, Katharine. Kind regards Seabill

Hi Willogs It was what they presented me with on my first day. So I dont know if Novomix 30 is the best for me. I was going to go to 4 until I realised my gradual reductions in units weren't affecting my BS. I dont do any Carb counting as yet! Have been blessed with this honeymoon period...

Hi Willogs & Geoff Thank you so much for your positive postings. I plan to keep a tight control. I've been taking 8 units of Novomix 30 with my porridge at 7am. And 4 units with my afternoon/evening meal. Then exercising at night. And thankfully, my readings have been good. Kind regards...

The second glass of a fine wine............ Cheers Seabill

Hi Katharine & Willogs Thank you for provided information. I really appreciate your thoughts. Going to research Diapep and Dr Faustmann, now. Kind regards Seabill

Hi Caitycakes Thanks for update. I hope we both enjoy an extended honeymoon period. It seems a shame that there is nothing we can take to assist the surviving beta cells. Kind regards Seabill

Hi Geoff Thank you for your reply. Do you have an injection in the afternoon and night? Kind regards Seabill
