Wow that's a bit scathing isn't it... funny enough the original poster didn't feel attack or that I'd been condescending until your post.... Penfold is newly diagnosed, and yes seems to be doing well, and did the sensible thing, got the diagnoses then did the research, but it would be...

You've been a diabetic for what almost 4 months And you asking me who's been a T1 diabetic for 27 years, 'Why I don't get it' with LCHF diets? You may think I don't get it, but I actually do get it.. A LCHF diet isn't suitable for all, other conditions may be present that an LCHF diet would...

Anybody diabetic or not can suffer an hypo, where the blood glucose levels drop below the 4mmol/l mark, a clinical hypo is actually BG's below 3.7mmol/l But for the non-diabetic, and some T2's who are either diet controlled or taking metformin, the hypo is just a unpleasant experience, and the...

I've been pumping now for almost 8 years, I've never taken a pump holiday, and no way would I want to go back to MDI... The disadvantage with a pump is that you've only ever got 2 hours worth of insulin in your body at any one time, so if things go belly up (something I haven't experienced in...

I was diagnosed with what turned out to be T1, at the same time I found out that I was about 7 weeks pregnant... So for me straight on insulin... The regimes were different back then 1989, so can't really advise concerning regimes as I'd be out dated but would suggest if you can, to maintain...

I agree, and I'm a specialist dementia care assistant! Remember when I'm at work I have to work along with the guidelines set, so I won't debate what is the right or wrong diet for a diabetic... But saying that in theory because we uphold individuals rights of choices, if somebody did pitch...

They don't need a lot of information concerning your diabetes, I think if I remember rightly I was asked about medication I was on, and how well controlled I was.. As to treatment, they do use a different injection for numbing, one without a steroid, there are procedures they may send you to...

Ambulance control have come out with some belters Came home a couple of months back from work, to find hubby in a hypo, crashed out on top of the collapsed ironing board.... He's gone to treat an hypo, as luccozade is on the corner of the table, and his meter and test strips on the floor next...

I've actually packed my libre away and stopped using it.. I didn't get much of a problem with falling off, the ones I had stuck quite well, but most of the time they were reading so low that I had a flat line on the graph, or they would be way out sometimes as much as 6mmol/l's out... I used...

A diabetic can eat a normal diet, so choosing to eat a specific diet is down to personal choice... So expecting an food establishment to reduce the cost, because you've chosen not to have particular item that's inclusive in the price.... Is kinda of wrong.. I had a meal the other day, a...

Hi Roberta I work in specialist dementia care, my company won't allow me to work nights due to my diabetes, must admit I'm more than happy about this so haven't argued against this decision. I assume the 'fit' was caused by a diabetic hypo... The interview is likely to be a blog standard...

Hi and welcome Wellington Forum's can be great places to get support and help but you did need to remember diabetes is as individual as individual's are.... There isn't a ika flat pack book of instructions that will manage the condition for you. You have to write your own I'm afraid. My...

I ache all over, but that's because I live on the Somerset Levels, so have spent all day sand bagging!

And after reading this thread, it's easy to see why apart form a ethical restraint concerning how they provide information, that they don't jonin As if you don't promote the right 'ideology' then you aren't welcome, if they do their research they will also see that not promoting the right...

I assume that you have a private landlord.... If the heating was in situ and there's isn't a clause within your tenancy agreement that specifies that the tenant is responsible for the maintenance, repair and/or replacement of the heating. Then the responsibility is the landlords. So what can...
