I did check the start dates and they are valid for the day after this 16th birthday for both 50cc scooter and CAR, tractor, and some other kind I vehicle too, I can't check as he has gone away for the weekend. I still have not found an insurance company that will insure him, but he did find a...

Thanks for the replies, but it's not driving lessons I am looking for, as I have taught people to drive for years. Even my wife passed first time with me teaching her lol. My son does not have the 3 years left to get a mobility car with the free insurance and all that. that is why I am looking...

He should report it to DVLA, I can't see him getting a fine unless he has been in an accident. The insurance across the country went up last june by over 100% ( major citys only ) rural areas not affected. If he declares to the insurance that he takes insulin, it should not go up due to the...

Hi Folks, not been on for a while, but now I am back with a question.... My son is 16 next month and is type 1, I sent off to the DVLA for his provisional last month, so he can get a 50cc scooter. On the application form the second option down was to apply for a provisional to drive a CAR at 16...

Hi Folks, Just a thought I had... So this is the headline in the news at the moment "GPs control of most of the NHS budget by 2013" and the PTC is to be scrapped. So is this going to be an opertunity to ask your GP for some more expensive treatments for better control of diabetes, my thinking...

Ok, the TV company have asked me to get in touch with a production company to put something together. So I just just got in touch with Lime Pictures as this is my local production company who do hollyoaks and some other drama programs, they also have other media companies under other names for...

I understand that, but I still have no feelings of being ill when very high either. From what I understand, most people feel ill when BS are high and a hypo when they go low. I have not been low yet, but yesterday I managed to get my BS down to a 5.5 (I think that is my lowest reading to date)...

No promises yet, but keep fingers crossed. :D

Hi All, I am after some thoughts on a new TV series, a cookery program that focuses on carb counting for diabetics, along with all other things like allergies, dairy products and alternative ingredients like "splender" to "sugar". I don't think there has been a show in the UK that is just for...

Hahaha, I do that every christmas. First bit then you remember your supposed to snap it off not bite it off, hahaha :wink:

Ok some people are not going to like it, but don't forget we are still allowed treats, lol I just ordered my free sample from tobelle.co.uk (remember to put www. first) :wink:

I guess I am lucky on one way, I can block all pain from my arms, so when I inject it never realy hurts. somtimes I hit a nerve and thats a bit nasty for a split second. and I don't bruise. I sometimes hit a recent site, as it it 100% painless, but thats not a good thing is it.

It was just a good day, it's back to rubbish again today. I worked the correction dose at 1unit - 2mmol. It is funny how I never took insulin all day, then one tiny correction dose and it fixed it. but that was a one off, I think. No I didn't get the thirst or the peeing. I don't seem to get...

If your on facebook search for (Insulin users should NOT be embarrassed to inject in public) :D

I don't know, maybe your right. I am only guessing from what I was told. :wink:

Ah... i didn't know that. And today I have had my best whole day ever. all day in SINGLE figures. thats a first for me. :wink:

Right folks, I am very confused with my bloods and insulin. yesterday I woke to the usual 10.7 ish, had nothing for breckfast and no insulin ( normal start for me), I ended up going for a coffee round the corner at my mums house, next thing I know my mum has made me 2 hollands steak and kidney...

I have no idea why, but I was told by my Doctor that both my son and I would have to use 8mm. I went straight on 8mm, but my son is still on 6mm. I guess it might be to ensure you get through the tissue on well used sites ? I duno. :lol:

The NHS advise to get insulin cooler pouches from this site. frio.com/buy/buy/

I under stand from that point of view, but I can't still crash my car into a minibus with 16 people on and cause the same damage. I send my form off to dvla this morning anyway, so that is the end of my driving anything for a few years. I'm glad it does not mention my jetski or power boat, coz...
