I have all that too; must be something to do with the low carbing because I have never had this problem in my life. Like you I am diet only (diagnosed nearly 12 years ago). I find nice thick warm socks really help and I wear them to bed sometimes too when the electric blanket doesn't help with...

A GP I know is appalled that my own doctor prescribes me 50 strips a month because of the cost to the NHS. I told her that having been diagnosed in 2000 and still on diet only control I think that I have probably saved more than that by a) not having medication and b) not having the...

I have been down this route myself after a spell in hospital about a year ago. I contacted the Patients' Liaison Officer and it all created great interest and I was invited to a meeting between the hospital and the caterers to discuss the problems. However, after one then another couldn't make...

I'm so sorry Shygirl you are having problems. My own GP is great and so is my nurse although neither are particularly clued up on diabetes. The nurse (although she runs the diabetic clinics and is the diabetic specialist in the practice) is not soley there for diabetes but also has...

The NHS Institute for Innovation, based at the University of Warwick, has recently undertaken a study and project called 'Think Glucose' which they hoped to roll out to all of the NHS hospitals. Unfortunately, the Institute is not solely funded by the government and has to be funded by selling...

I am wondering if it is more to do with the fact that she feels deprived of a normal life and food than with the diabetes itself. I went through this myself but once I stopped denying myself the foods etc that I liked and found other things to have instead I began to calm down. I felt cheated...

I was diagnosed with Type 2 in September 2000 and I was scared. When I thought about it, I realised that although it meant some life changes, it solved the problems of upset digestive system, night sweats, inability to lose weight no matter what I did and being tired all the time to mention...

Hello I was diagnosed in September 2000 and am still diet controlled. I was also very dizzy and felt really awful during my pregnancy and I wasn't diabetic then. All you have described would fit me exactly. I think a lot of your issues surrounding it is, as it was for me, fright and...
