Thanks all, call to surgery in the morning

Hiya yes script left pharmacy, but doesn't appear to have ever made it home. Handed it to my partner as I got back in the car, popped to the supermarket and that's the last time we can be certain where it was. Pharmacy know me well and would have called if it was handed on. Going to try drs...

Advice if anyone can help. Picked up Novorapid and Levemir from pharmacy last Monday. Discovered tonight the never made it as far as my fridge, so now have approx 4 days of each left. Needless to say OH and myself have searched everywhere they could have been put without success. My surgery...

Good news, think the online, and post apps have crossed, but got a letter yesterday saying they will renew for another three years, but wanted a new photo card form filled in, so have done it and put it back in the post - thank goodness. My OH doesn't drive, so if I can't we are stuck!!

I know I can, but did think it was indefinitely if they are renewing it/you are appealing a decision. This is slightly complicated by the fact that I was bought a 'stunt driving experience' for a big birthday last month which I need to book, but need to KNOW I will have my licence on the day...

thank you

Thank you

Hi All Wondering if anyone can advise please - have literally, this morning, posted a renewal for my 3 year licence to DVLA. Did fill in the form online a couple of weeks ago (literally 90 days before it ran out) but then received the forms in the post at the weekend, including a new photocard...

Thank you all so much, feel soooooooo much better about it now, and do intend to have a really good time in the Big Apple!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Helensaramay Many, many thanks for your message!!!! I was beginning to drive myself up the wall with all this but thank you for the reassurance. I have my letter and a copy script to go with it. I can handle the liquids (i.e the insulin) in my liquids bag (I don't really carry anything...

Hi - I wonder if anyone can throw some light for me please. Have been diagnosed diabetic since 1999, so not new to the disease, but don't fly very often and have only flown once before since being on insulin (a BA Flight to Schipol and back on business a couple of years ago, where everything...

Thanks for that very sensible advice- you are right abaesthetist is the person I need to convince - sure it will be ok in the end just threw me a bit this morning

sorry - just read my original response, meant without the pump, not the insulin - sorry!!!!!

would normally be day surgery, but with the heart condition he wants to keep me in overnight and out the following morning. think I am going to take all my own meds with me and try to insist that I will manage whatever is needed

thanks Noblehead - good link - will give it a proper read at home later

thanks Satin Doll, unfortunately don't keep a written record, but guess they could tell from my meter what I get up to. I think I would rather go without it if at all possible, I am a perfectly sensible 50'something woman who has managed this disease quite happily for the last 20 years or so.

thanks Noblehead - those were the options I have been offered in the past. Was just a bit shocked that the use of a pump seemed to be so commonplace to her

What time do you do the Levemir each day - I was running high at night with it when I was taking it first thing in the morning each day. I switched it to lunchtime, and then to mid-afternoon, and the background control seems much better. I would try that and see if over a few days/weeks you can...

Hi All Am after some thoughts and a bit of advice. I am due gallstone surgery next Wednesday. At my pre-op assessment this morning the nurse, very matter of factly, told me that they would 'more than likely' put me on an insulin pump for the duration of my stay, even though my sugars are pretty...
