I was already under the hospital for dry eyes, they were very aware of the cataract in my left eye, but told me best to leave it until it is much worse. Ha ha ha - it was far worse. Had to see optician for new driving licence. He was amazed at how bad it had become, and he put me up for...

The reason for putting 'O' is those with O Rhesus Positive or Negative cannot be given any other blood type. Whereas all the others Blood Types can have 'O' . Hope that helps. I am O Positive as are two of my three sisters, with one being .... O Negative! Our Mum was O Positive, but no idea...

Sorry about the delay in replying, lot going on. The cream cheese you use in the making gives no taste, other than to make them less bland. Not like eating a chunk of cheese. Such a shame you don't like cheese because it is so yummy to eat. ;)

Hi Satindoll, maybe I should start getting grumpy too, not saving it for my poor hubby all the time ;). Many thanks for your heads on possibility of EXPERT being involved, if they are, I won't be caught out now. I have to make an appointment in the next week or so, but as I have a couple of...

@satindoll ... It's quite odd really, I get on well with most people, but last year when she 'sat' ln on my first review, having got me to sign a form, probably the same as the last which at that time I also had no idea what it was all about. But my gut reaction then, as this time, was the...

Thanks Sue,. I have just checked on line, and found the name of the Practice Manager, but I think it would be polite to have a word first with my diabetic :nurse:. As regards doctors, :arghh: the site shows 'GPs at this practice ... 0 male and 0 female GP. ' ... Oh Happy Days :wacky:. Have...

Wow! Thank you all for your quick responses, I am most grateful. I was totally take aback at her presence, but even more so at the fact that she stated that she was aiding in my new DN's training. I had been told by the receptionist that V had taken the Diabetic Nurse training and had assumed...

Yesterday: Three Monthly Review. Present: V (newly trained DN) and J (Diabetic Dietician) seen at 1st Review 2 Apr 14, where I disagreed with her & DN's dietary recommendations. Had spent days since diagnosis on 25 March, on DCUK and became informed as to the reality of the NHS Healthy Plate...

You are very welcome. I would add a caution though, that it is wise to either limit the amount of psyllium husk, if not, you should drink plenty of water when you eat the phoopsies. The husks can absorb a fair amount of liquid and result in : "Choking: Taking this product without adequate...

Looking good, and you are welcome. I have to admit I did give up with baking them in a tray in the oven. My trays were all too large and like yours spread too thinly but tasted really good. In the end I bought an electric Brownie Maker, and get three loads out of it. Not too clever at judging...

I used to, but started using whole eggs for my Muffins, and found they came out even better than when separated, I started using it for my 'bread' replacement. It also makes it quicker to prepare than separating them, and gives a much better texture. Caliban, Psyllium Husk is so very cheap to...

I started smoking at 16, but since July 2011 I have been using electronic cigs and not had a puff of a real cigarette since. I can run up and down 2 flights of 15 stairs and not be out of breath; my blood pressure is normal for my age of 69. I was diagnosed in March this year with diabetes...

I found the setting on the lancet pen to be too high at 5 and made it very painful, often leaving me with a physical bruise. I now use a setting of 3.5 and stings only a tiny bit, after testing I give a quick rub and it is gone. I have to say the lancet that comes with the GlucoRx Nexus is quite...
