Thanks Tim I will follow your advice. As you say, its no fun:(

Uh oh, not good reading. Have been informed that my surgery is changing all diabetics to the Wavesense Jazz and that my next prescription request for test strips will be for the Jazz only. Will try to keep an open mind but it seems the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing as my DN...

Thanks Suzikav. Went to my local Morrisons where the pharmacist sold me 50x50mcgs for £13.23 which is a lot but I'm desperate to get started. Not sure how long it takes to achieve therapeutic effect so began with 100mcgs daily. Thanks to everyone for help & encouragement.

Thanks to everybody. Will explore the B12 route. Can it be bought OTC?

Thanks chaps. Finally gave up on sleep and went down to the beach to walk the dog briskly. Funny how being on the foot and walking seems to ease it. Unfortunately it always happens at night when walking is not the preferred option.

It is 04.57 and I have been awake all night due to extreme stabbing pain in my foot due to diabetic neuropathy. IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS AND HURTS LIKE BLAZES! NSAID's don't help nor does capsaicin cream. Doc prescribed dulooxetine but I had an adverse reaction does anybody have any ideas? .

10.1 but going the right way

I'm confused! How can you lose weight on a low carb high fat diet? I seem to be stuck in a groove

9.4 - still going the right way!

10.4. Overall stabilising even though I am slowly reducing my insulin intake.

10.4mmols but better than the last couple of days

11.6 :(

14.5 this morning - Eeeek! Couldn't have been. Re-washed my hands then did it again - 12.5. Still felt it was wrong. Got new batteries this afternoon - 8.4 pre-dinner 2 hours ;later 7.3! going the right way again thank goodness! Can't afford to have a dodgy meter while carbing.
