    UTAG ICE

    Okay, how about this link link. Is that allowed? And as this link doesn't specifically sell the item, is it okay? All I wanted to do was point out an item that could be useful for people with diabetes.

    UTAG ICE

    As a moderator you can do what you like, but how about the link to the Aviva Nano you posted, or my review of the Desang kitbag which contained links. Anyway here's a link to a report on the UTAG in the Guardian.

    The BNP- a 'racist' party?

    Yes I have, it is a particularly nasty concept that the Nazi party used as a reason to execute those who were disabled, had mental health issues etc. I'm not sure of your point though.

    The BNP- a 'racist' party?

    Certainly not deluded, or naive. You're assuming the grenade is a fragmentation one, there are other types. That is the same as assuming that all supporters of the BNP are racist with no evidence to prove your point.

    The BNP- a 'racist' party?

    Part of being a democracy is that we don't always agree with the views of others and we have elections so that we can register our views, in this country we have a first past the post scheme that gives the majority the say. Until the BNP does something that leaves the electoral commission with...

    The BNP- a 'racist' party?

    I think this question is too imprecise, are you talking about the party or its members, certainly some of the BNP's policies can be seen as racist, but I know people who are members of the BNP who certainly aren't racist. What the three main parties and the media like to forget when they attack...

    Anyone got a spreadsheet?

    For a free office suite including spreadsheets you need Open Office. I use it all the time and it will work with most proprietary software such as Microsoft as well.

    What did you do for World Diabetes Day?

    World Diabetes Day made it onto the national news, I watched it on the BBC and it was on their website as well. We also had it mentioned in the local press. I'm a member of the local DUK group and we set up a stand at a local venue with help from one of the DSN's and one of the Diabetes...

    Sore Foreskin = Ketones?

    I got my diagnosis of being a type 2 diabetic because I had an ongoing problem with Thrush which lasted about 6 months. I suffered exactly the same symptoms, and by god it hurt at times. See your GP. Don't wait to see the nurse. A couple of tips to make things easier, use a really mild...

    Desang Kitbags And A Top Tip

    If you look inside the Accu-Check bag you'll find a flap, if you lift that you can push two drum containers past it, lower the flap and the meter and lancer still fit fine with spare lancets in the zip compartment.

    Desang Kitbags And A Top Tip

    I can't find a review of Desang's Slim Kitbags so I thought I'd post one. After reading and contributing to the How Do You Carry Yours thread I decided I'd try one of the Desang kitbags. I ordered one of the slim models as I'm type 2 and don't need insulin or it's attendant paraphernalia. The...

    mrsa diabetics and pets

    AFAIK we all carry the bugs for MRSA and the like around with us on our skin, it's just if they get introduced into a wound or suitable site that we have problems. If you have any breaks in the skin it is worth keeping them clean and just carrying out a normal hygiene routine. it is probably...

    How do you carry yours ?

    I'll also have to recommend Crumpler bags they are designed for carrying cameras and laptops, among other things. I have one of their pretty boy photographic bags and they are pretty **** good.

    How do you carry yours ?

    I carry one of those man bag things, there again as I always walk with either a stick or crutches it makes sense. I don't care what it looks like, I care that I can carry everything I want, or need. If I go out for the day it will normally carry my small laptop, 3G modem, iPod, cigarettes...

    Flu and pneumonia jabs

    I had both, nothing to worry about, though after being asked if I wanted them the nurse almost tried to put me off once I said yes.

    New PHP Diabetes Forum

    Can I make a suggestion? It would be good to get RSS feeds of new posts which could be used in something like widsets or widgets for mobile phones.

    Cost of Glucose Monitoring strips

    The problem with your question is that it is difficult to find out the wholesale price, all we see is the retail price. Then you have to factor in the other costs, how much does self testing save the NHS? What are the costs to the NHS of paramedic call outs to diabetics who have problems? How...

    Diabetes, Depression & obesity

    I was disabled in an accident at work five years ago, which has caused a slow but sure weight gain, and began feeling depressed about two years ago, finally getting treatment for depression in January of last year. I've probably been heading into diabetes since about January this year when I got...
