Hi Catherine, Complicated eh! I wasn't aware that RoseLin didn't take any medication at all (I obviously missed that bit, sorry!). I don't know why people think that having type 1 is worse than type 2. From my point of view, we are handed everything on a plate, yet you poor type 2's have to...

Hi Catherinecherub, I'm not saying RoseLin should not continue with what she has been doing, just that (as Garrycrone has stated below) if you inform your doctor about the reduction of costs by not ordering metformin when it's not needed and the impact that it has on your health, this would be...

Hi Ands, I've sent you a private message! LiL

Ooohhh, you're not going to like me for this...... RoseLin what a tremendous waste of money! Surely if your doctor knew what you were doing and why, he could be persuaded to just prescribe the test strips. The governments statistics for precription medications show that millions of pounds...

No problem Farmerfudge. I can't think with a BG of 18.5 either, it's not just you! DAFNE was a great course, but you do forget things. I only did it in October, then was really ill over Christmas, but completely forgot about the whole 'sick day rules' thing, now that is a bad memory!! If you...

Thanks Graham, I've had a good old nose and still no-one from anywhere remotely near me! I'm sure they are out there somewhere.

Hi, I'm from Yeovil in Somerset!

Hi Farmerfudge, I was on the DAFNE course in October so it's still quite fresh in my mind. As long as your ratio is 1:1 then 1 unit of your nova rapid will bring you down by 3mmols. I still have my book, so if you need to refresh on anything, then i'd be happy to help. LiL x

Hi Becca, Thanks for replying, I was starting to think there was no-one else around! Newly diagnosed! Scary eh! What a horrid feeling. I love this site, i've only just registered but have been checking it out for the past year or so. It's so useful! LiL x

Hi, my names LiL and I live in Yeovil. I'm looking for others who live in this area, with Type 1 diabetes to meet up for cups of tea and chat! Is there anyone out there? I'm 30 years old, married with two lovely children and am a student nurse! Please reply, we already have something in...

What a load of rubbish, surely it's in the doctors best interest to promote health holistically, not just a 'sort yourselves out' attitude. The NHS would save money in the long-run if they help Type 2's now, rather than having to spend out in the future trying to fix complications (that could...

Hi! This is my first ever post and am really confused! I understand Type 2's that are not on medication cannot get free prescriptions, but will your doctor not give you a prescription for the test strips? Surely paying the £7ish prescription charge would be cheaper for 100 strips than the £20...
