Hi folks, just looking to bump this up the list if possible? quite keen to hear from any 1 diabetics who have made the transition to Aus.

Good Morning Ladies and Gents. I have been reading through some of the previous posts about this topic but I guess everyones situation is different so no one elses post gives the specific advise we need, so here is another! My wife is a paramedic here in Scotland and has a fantastic...

It was the same process as the hospital, they don't put drops in my eyes either.

Ahh okay, I hadn't really even thought about that element. I think in my head I was just hoping the hospital would be wrong :rolleyes:

Hi Folks, I've recently just had my eye screening and my annual optician appointment in the last two weeks. However, both seem to be giving conflicting information. I always gravitate more towards my optician rather than the eye screening clinic as the optician actually gives you the chance...

I do cross-fit in the evenings but I haven't been as full on with it since coming back from my holidays in Sept which might actually tie in with how uncontrollable my mornings have been compared to before. It sounds like this DP might be multiple issues coming together into one big problem...

Hi Both, Thanks for your comments. I'll test out both and see how I get on. Its so frustrating. Especially when I see my average levels increasing which I know will impact my Hba1c. Its so weird that it seems to have come on all of a sudden and seems to be getting worse. Thanks,

Hi Folks, for a while now, I've known that I can't really eat anything in the morning because it seems to cause rapid spikes that I can't get on top of. However, recently I have also noticed that pretty much within an hour of waking, my blood sugar levels can climb significantly without...

ah, I've only increased my basal and not my bolus. I'm not in the habit of being ill but this suspected virus seriously wiped me out lol. my mum phoned NHS 24 when she visited and was looking for advice. They sent an ambulance immediately because I was a diabetic and blood sugar and ketones...

Hey, I'll have a look at the rules. I've changed my set about 3 times in the last 2-3 days. I always seem to have sufficent active insulin to cover how high my sugar levels are so I must be getting bigger spikes or something as my pump isn't giving me any corrections. I never usually run a BG...

Hey folks, So I took quite ill on Sunday and it is having quite an impact on my blood sugars. since I went on the pump in October I have managed to keep it within or at least close to the range that it is set to. However, I was rushed into hospital with a suspected virus (high hr, high bp and a...

Hi folks, I'm due to start on my insulin pump on the 6th of October. I realise I now need to pay more attention to my ratios and my background insulin etc. Over the last year or so I've just been guessing and not had much control. I know my background isn't right as when I go to bed, I wake up...

Hi Guys, I know it's been a while since starting this post but I had landed another job so wasn't looking into a career in the police at that point. I'm no longer at university and I've been made redundant so I contacted the recruitment team again at police Scotland to ask what the deal is with...

I was previously and it was awful. The company I work for now only has 75 employees lol

I like small companies. Seem to be nicer places to work than large companies where your just a number.

I've actually managed to find good work since posting this, I never heard back from them anyway after applying :-) I'm now working in HR for a small manufacturing company in Rosyth. I started as a temp after leaving my previous job to pursue a career rather than having a dead end job and even...

I just wanna see it all but that would be near impossible doing it in short stints. I've always loved the massive forests and parks in the states so would love to see some of them. I'd like to see some of the areas that aren't as talked about as the likes of florida and new York, vagas etc...

Fantastic! I've found a decent hostel in portland which looks like it could be a good base for exploring New England. Shouldn't be too pricey getting there either because it's on the eastern side. After our holiday to tenerife this year we are going to save for two years and have two week stint...

Yeah I would prefer hostels with our own room though. We use them regularly here in scotland but we always have a separate room :-)

Hi folks. I was wondering if any of use have ever travelled the states? I want to see more of the US of A and considered camp america, I don't think this will be very fair on my GF though as we share a house etc so not exactly fair to disappear for three months. I thought we could maybe do it...
