Cos I have just had my reminder letter.

Thanks guys. 8)

No point in being embarrassed eh? At 34 and a mum to three you would think I was worldly wise enough. Ok, recently when I have had an orgasm I have noticed I feel really weird after, shaky, sweating (ok, I know that orgasms leave you shaking and sweating) nausea, very tired almost drunk. I...

Well done you! You have made a difference to your life. I have been there (mentally and in a very abusive relationship) and its not easy. To get yourself back into a position where you are exercising and starting to feel good about yourself is fantastic. You go girl, you will get there in the...

Just taken my bs and it is 10.8 two hours after tea.

And of course the incapacity has to be physical! Or would that be being presumptious?

Abbot sent me a free Optimum xceed meter when i phoned them.

I am fine with it now. Once I had done it once I was ok. Had a funny spell today. Took my bs before lunch and it was 8, took it 2 hours later and it was 7.2, 30 mins later was on the phone to my mate and suddenly came over dizzy (while sitting down), vision blury and felt sick. BS had dropped...

Are people on IB not allowed in gym's? News to me! :x

Did it! 2 hours after lunch. 10.4. And it is true that it is a lot less painful than picking blackberries although the colour of your fingers is the same afterwards (only joking).

I got my blood glucose meter from Abbot, have callinbrated it, set it all up and now cannot bring myself to prick my finger. What a softy eh?

Oh my gosh. I never thought my thread would turn into a mother's meeting talking about aubergines, courgettes and knitting, and I'm only 34!!!!!!!!!! :lol: Am still alive, drove my brother to uni at Leeds on saturday, had my mam forcing me to do housework today (nasty lady that she is...

Hey claire, I walk around the market with my mam and say "oooh that wool is nice, it would look lovely in a jumper for ............. (whichever child is in need of a jumper, lol)" and hey presto, 3 weeks later a lovely wooly pully for whichever daughter appears. Myself I tried to knit squares...

Re: NEWBIE alert! Its not what you are thinking of Sue! :shock: It has an L at the beginning of it! :lol:

Despite me being in Northumberland I think that the wall should be re-erected. I would then be north of the border, with all the perks of the scottish health system, not to mention greater access to haggis, which is scrummy.

Thanks again guys for all your advice, I phoned the makers of the Optimum x-ceed (soley cos my type 1 friend had a load of test strips for it and said I could have a box) and they said they would send a meter out free of charge! Nice one! (owt for nowt me, that's with being a single parent, if...

That is a truly superb weight loss Karen. After moping around this evening, and falling asleep on the sofa, I have decided to stick two fingers up at the doctor. Am going to get myself a meter and some testing sticks and see what is happening with my bg (anyone like to recommend me a bg...

Re: NEWBIE alert! How can I make cauliflower mash taste of anything but cauliflower? I hate it, its the food of the devil and I know when I get to hell there will be satan (in a sunderland shirt) with plates of cauliflower for me to eat. :evil: Jem, you are a superstar. Am type 2 diabetics...

Thanks guys, you are all so great.

Well went to the Doctors and felt royally patronised. Was told the thirstyness was normal and will go away "eventually", that the tiredness after eating was probably not related and a whole new load of blood tests were ordered, waste of time really, seeing that I just had all the same blood...
