Thanks Geordie! I was giving myself a couple of years and no more booze ever. Great thing to do on a Monday!

Hey Dudes, Over the last couple of years my blood tests are showing I have raised liver enzymes. I think my AST is @ 61 and should be btw 10-40. I do drink a fair bit of alcohol, probably too much. However, I was given the option of leaving it [and reduce alcohol in-take] or go for an...

No mate, not being re-tested. I’ve always had high levels (about 5 years now) and I’ve always put off taking statins. But the negatives out way the positives for people with type 1 diabetes. I’ve only just started taking them and tbh I wished I’d started earlier.

Thanks the replies. I managed to get hold of someone at the surgery who explained it may be a genetic thing but could also have been a spurious test. They’ve increased my statin mgs and told me not to worry. Do the obvious healthy dietary things and also watch the alcohol intake as this is what...

Hi Guys, Had a letter from my consultant the other day with some stuff I don’t understand. My GP practice is too busy to speak to me (grrrrrr). Not sure if I should be concerned with some of my cholesterol levels - Total Cholesterol 8.3 Trigs 28 (not a typo) Non HDL 7.2 Sample was...

I won’t go to be less than 11. Even then I can eat 5 biscuits and wake up around 10 – that’s usually if I do exercise though. I did it last night and woke up at 21.5!

I went for it...site was under maintenance, so couldn't see the replies... I read it doesn't have any side affects, just doesn't work as well... Thanks for the replies. TT

Just looking for some quick advice – Got to work…not enough inulin left for my lunch. Found a pen in my car with 30u still left in it………. The insulin doesn’t look cloudy but could have been in my car for 6 months maybe 12…..will it be ok to use? Can’t get home or to a pharmacy and...

Blimey that's late Robert! Is that not a little odd? Is that QA insulin totsy?

Out of interest what time do you – 1) Have you last injection of rapid acting 2) Go to bed

71....down from 72 6 months ago :) think thats 8.8 ish so not too bad!

Girls girls girls…please get back on your insulin. You aren’t going to look pretty in a wheel chair with a gaunt look. I had a friend who did the same. She ended up in a wheel chair and is now on dialysis and waiting for a transplant. She is only 26. It’s called diacide. Even non diabetics...

Nope! Diabetes doesn't effect people from working unless it renders them disabled. I had 1 and 1/2 days off sick when i was diagnosed with T1 and never had a day off since. Some people take lots of sick days and others not so many. Unfortunately I sometimes neglect my diabetes at the expense...

Totally agree with you Auckland. I'm pretty care free but the night time hypos bit is, like you said one of the worse things about T1. I lost a friend this way. I always eat before bed and run my sugars high to mitigate the threat. I think this will be the only way to put your mind at ease...

I always like the one from ab fab... "drop the attitude you only work in a shop"

[removed rude comment] Very interesting though smidge - ref all that stuff about "normals" having their insulin contained to certain areas.

Don't get me started kiddoooooo.... in a fit of rage I once said to the Dr's receptionist "Why do you even work in a bloody a customer service job" She keeps on forgetting to put my prescription through now....can't for the life of me think why.... :)

Bread is the devils work....along with credit cards

The figures don't look that bad TBH. You would like to think that those would come down a lot in the next 5 years and we could all be on them ;) Good luck anyway muka

What a depressing thread. I hope you amputation wasn't D related mate.
