I was offered tramadol but I heard enough about it to put me off. Got me on Zapain which has the lovely side effect of stopping you go to the toilet [emoji1787]. So have to stop it to go. Rather that that tramadol. They have me visiting a pre surgery diabetes nurse at the moment to help in case...

Hi @HSSS I am getting the capsular release surgery. Thank you for the heads up on recovery. Think work will just have to be extra nice to me for a couple of weeks/months and will have to get me an assistant to do my lifting (Yay my own mini me [emoji28]) It sucks not being able to reach for...

Hi @Renukapur The general line the doctor gave me was he saw more diabetic patients than any other group. But that just seems like an excuse to me to have a dig at my diabetes being rubbish while I was trying to deal with pain management. They need something to blame so it's my diabetes...

Hello Fellow Diabetics [emoji112] I have been living with a frozen shoulder for over a year. Did physio and an injection into my shoulder which was no help. So now the only option given was surgery or leave it a few months/years. Got told (numerous times in one conversation) it was due to my...

But its nice to be able to connect on a social level rather than just be that "Diabetic person" So many people forget that we are actually people too. Just extra ingredients needed [emoji1787]

So you are a Stalker because of your diabetes now [emoji1787]

Thank you for the tip. I am totally in love with my freestyle libre. Has been very helpful so far. I use the app on my phone rather than have a separate device to monitor everything. Plus it's an excuse to have my phone out or on me at work. Nurse said it's not a phone anymore but a medical...

Are your doctors alittle bit crackers or just not fully up to speed on the whole doctoring stuff? [emoji15]

You watch whatever you want to. Unless it's paint drying. That's for really nutty people [emoji1787]

Grammaritis induced by diabetes? Off to Google everything again I go :-D [emoji1787]

Hello Everyone, Since I was diagnosed 15 years ago I have come to notice that as soon as I mentioned I am a diabetic at appointments then suddenly what ever I am being treated for is because of my diabetes or I am at a higher risk. I had a cataract removed 3 years into my diabetes and was...

Hello (Type 1 diabetic) I got my freestyle libre 2 on prescription after a visit to podiatry of all places. They referred me to my diabetic clinic and 2 weeks later the nurse there went ahead and gave me one straight away. Had a chat about how my doctors wanted all their diabetic patients on the...

I renewed my provisional licence February 2014. I went to the post office as I needed to change the address too. By September 2014 I had my licence sorted. They kept messing up between departments. Aparently I had no photo taken. Which the post office sent. Gave them my receipt number to find...

Thank you. I have ketone strips. What ever happened just came out of no where. I guess I should of checked my ketones the second I got home. Still trying to figure out what happened. Was controlled, not eaten a funky takeaway, no cold or flu. If my blood is going to turn to acid at least I want...

Well I have been a diabetic since 2001. Never been in hospital for my diabetes in all that time. I was working a late shift on Tuesday and threw up. Thought it was just a one off. Did it again about an hour before closing (I work in a shop) Got home and shook it off as something I ate. Wish...

Shar67 I tell people i am shooting up vodka or gin. Can't inject a mixer like coke cause the fuzzy bubbles cause you to fart. So far only 2 idiots believed me. Keep injecting in public though. People stare so much i take my time hoping one day while they are eating they fork themselves in the...
