Do ya wanna see my TEST STRIP ?

Two months later........... and because i look a little iffy, my boss comes over and asks if i am ok. I tell him that I wasnt feeling too great, aching a little, and that i had tested my sugar levels and found them to be around 13. A few hours later in the day, and i felt ok, my sugars were...

I insisted today that i had lunch at one, as if i did what people wanted, i would have eating my lunch sandwich at around 2pm. Is this being over cautious, if it is, please say yes. I thought i was getting my around this condition, but im not so sure since this has happened.

Not easy to fight this one. It has made me think of trying to find a new job, but in the current climate, the jobs arent there It makes me feel like im over reacting to having diabetes. I watch every mouthfull. I try to keep life as normal as i can. But watching the clock for food intake, and...

Latest incident. There i sit at my desk, BG test revealed as just over 10, carried on working thinking i was just having a high day. After an hour or so, i started to feel very warm and uncomfortable. I only test my BG once a day, but today i thought i would test it again as i was feeling...

Yes, my boss said that today. In the middle of a meeting. This was met with hysterical laughter from all the people in the room. Ignorance is definately NOT bliss. Is this to be expected? All that brought it on was me having some fruit as the meeting had gone on for quite some time, and no break...

Having been recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, i have found the wealth of information on this site, and the discussion threads invaluable. With this in mind, i would like to ask if anyone knows if, having now been diagnosed with diabetes, am i obliged to inform any company of this, that i...

Yes it was the booklet and NHS advice. I was told the same about failing eyes, kidneys shot, feet gone. I walked out thinking thats it...life is over. Reading things on here though has made me quickly realise that maybe i have to address my condition in a different way. So any advice anyone can...

Newly diagnosed. Advised to eat carb based meals, but watch sugar and fat content levels. Reading discussions on here makes me wonder if i should be watching carbs intake too. Any advice out there? Or do carbs affect different people and types differently? Help me obi-wan you're my only hope!

Thats good news indeed. Congratulations Kate. Best wishes to you all for a lovely christmas and life together. Mind you, 2 can be an awkward age. And watch out for school starting, that can be traumatic. Teens? omg, battern down the hatches, tin hat on.!!! Late teens? Hmmm be prepared to be...

Theres a strange kind of reassurance from knowing that there is a variety of uneducated people out there, that have no real idea of what living with diabetes means. I was guilty of being one of them until recently diagnosed. I went to the supermarket, saw the screaming children, watched as...

Good luck kate, heres hoping all went well. Diabetes isnt the end of a life, but the start of a different, healthy living path. Have a lovely christmas, enjoy lots off baby snuggling time together.

it seems to me that as has been said, if we dont have an obvious visual problem then we must be making it up. Quote....."Aaaahh what are you on about, you look ok to me. Theres nothing wrong with you!!" Just because some people are casual about diabetes, doesnt make it the right thing to be...

Hi thank you all for the replys. Im new to this site, but its reassuring to know that im not imagining my concerns. Suzi you are a star, keep battling girl. Whilst i realise in the big wide world we can feel pretty alone, having others on here to discuss things with, can make everything so much...

I have been diagnosed with type 2 for approx 2 months now. I am on metformin and have drastically changed my diet. The weight is going down. My problem is the attitude of some people around me. One of my collegues at work sees it as something i have blown out of all proportion. I was having...
