Health insurance screening check 'do you still take insulin?' I did ask if there was an alternative?! Silence. I was tempted to add 'if you've found an alternative , you'll probably get a Nobel Prize!'

Try input diabetes website. They have some info on this.

According to the Dafne guidelines for T1 shredded wheat contain 1.5CP each (weight 22g), so for a bowl of two you would need to double this plus account for milk and any toppings. Bolus to match your insulin sensitivity ratio. If your a type 2, I have no idea!

Try Diasend instead.

Welcome, I was diagnosed as T1 at 47! Once you get the insulin right, you'll feel much better. Good luck,

Add something on BS & driving. Testing every 2 hours takes some planning!

Insulin doesn't help with spelling as you can see!

It was posted by the vegatarian society of Singapore on their Facbook page. They should know better.

Don't be sacred of insulin - I'm Lada and went from metforim to insulin in 3 weeks - felt much better on insulin, it's magic stuff!

Hi, I get a mid morning low as well. The reason (I am told) is the Long acting (Lantus) is doing its thing. I'm on a tiny Novorapid dose at breakfast (to stop spikes) and even dropping this doesn't stop the low. I was only diagnosed a few months back as a type 1.5 and I believe the pancreas can...

My brother t1 aged 11. Me Lada aged 47, Father T2 aged 70. Mother odd autoimmune probs. My consultant says 'strong family history'. Definitely a genetic component.

Hi, I'm presuming the rules for driving are the same (or similar) to the UK (DVLA) for T1 & T2 on Insulin, i.e. testings 2 hourly and before, 5+mmol/l. Anyone know for certain?

If you are reckless or unlucky you can still be guilty of a driving offence. Hypos and driving are bad. Big problem for T1s & others. Some recent examples: http://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/news/crime/diabetic-crash-driver-jailed-1-7081748 and http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-30586720 -...

Us type 1's have to test before driving and two hourly thereafter. If you have a hypo when driving you are a danger to yourself and others. A type1 recently received a custodial sentence for causing death by dangerous driving due to a hypo and not testing. The rules are a pain, but they are...

I used http://www.theidbandco.com/ but there are other providers as well.

Rubber wristband that has my info on the inside and medical alert on outside. I don't take it off. Hopefully it will never need to be used, but could save me. I got mine from http://www.theidbandco.com/ and went for Customisable Silicone Bracelet. Very pleased with it. Looks like it should last...

As a LADA diagnosed at 47, I felt much better on Insulin, though I was massively GAD positive. I like insulin nearly as much as beer now!

Two thoughts. The HCP could give evidence in person or an independent expert witness could be called.

If you need it Insulin will make you feel much better.
