I'd say I lost about 10 years of my life due to tiredness, despite having good control of my bg levels My energy came back when I switched back to animal insulin, I also quit bread as it knocks me flat out, you could have an intolerance to something you're eating Also,have you had your iron...

Yep, I got it for the trend arrow. I knew the thing was running lower than my bg meter, but being able to avoid a low blood sugar has been a massive thing for me. My current sensor has settled down and is now within .3 mmol/l

Sounds promising but I really wish these researchers would look at trying to find a cure rather than looking at how the insulin is administered. Also, is anyone else slightly annoyed by journalists who keep coming out with the "painful injection" stuff. First of all, they aren't painful and of...

:D Love it! I'd have been tempted to get a red stripe down it...........I loved The A Team

"One in two people born after 1960 in the UK will be diagnosed with some form of cancer during their lifetime" That's from the cancer research website(and I couldn't believe it when I read it) Obviously I can't say whether or not I or you will develop cancer or whether insulin causes it, but...

They say 3 to 5 days, my last lot of sensors took 7 days. Anyway, it's worth the wait!:)

I bought a testing kit from amazon and found out I have an intolerance to quite a few of the things listed on the test(Barley and tomatoes to name but two) I don't think they're 100% accurate as I still eat tomatoes and have no reactions but since avoiding foods with barley in I feel loads...

Oops! missed out the 6 from my post. This sensor is really erratic, sometimes as much as 6 and never less than 2 out.

Ha! 59 scans, thought I was bad with 37. My current sensor has gone a bit crazy, its now mmol/l lower than my bg meter:eek: Looks like I'll be returning it

:banghead: I'll leave it at that

No she doesn't have a right. It was posted by a diabetic speaking to other diabetics discussing their illness and the complications that affect them. Diabetes can be horrible and sharing with others who know what you're going through can be a bit of therapy. Who is she to tell others not talk...

I've just read the facebook page from the mother of the diabetic 19year old.:mad: ok, she's a mum and no mum wants to read the bad stuff that could happen to their child, but it is a reality of the illness. He's gone 19 years without complications, that's great. I just don't understand why...

Years ago Chris Rock used to do a whole routine about there being no money in a cure and used HIV as an example. I know I'll get called a cynic, but just think about all the consumables that you use every day to treat your diabetes and stay alive. That would be billions of dollars lost if "they"...

I've just binned my one touch verio(not the iq version that you have). A shame really cos I love the screen and how it's presented (clips into its case) but there seems to be a lot of people having quite a few problems with these meters. Mine was giving me higher readings(sometimes as much as...

surely the fact that your control is good and your bg is in range is proof enough that the dose of insulin you're taking is correct and very much needed?

I use haribo tangfastics and glucojuice.

My sensors are still being listed as "picked", it's been 6 days since I ordered(or 4 working days) so I'm not too concerned at the moment.

Apparently it is available on prescription(depending on your GP), but you only get a couple of bottles at a time. My sister gets me a hefty discount on it through her company so I've never actually bothered trying to see if my dr would prescribe it. I occasionally get glucogel on prescription...

My Gp has generally been good, but when it comes to test strips?.............He'll give me them, but just 50 at a time. So I go through this ridiculous routine of putting a prescription in(online), you have to wait 3 days to collect, so on that 3rd day I collect it and put another one in,wait 3...

While I'm not a big fan of the mobile, it has certainly improved since the earlier stripless gm. Anyone remember the accuchek compact with the annoying drum that kept rotating every time you turned it on?(not to mention the constant errors) whrrrrrrr! click whrrrrrrr! click whrrrrrrr! click...
