I've just got a new meter and like an idiot, I tested with out setting the date and time correctly first. Does anyone know if there is a way of deleting a result from the meter as I don't want to sit looking at one wrong result for the next 500 tests before it over writes it.

Warning Rant Ahead I could shot the bloody diabetes nurse. apparently, I'm doing everything wrong, she basically just sat there and sprouted the desmonds material at me verbatim. she answered none of the questions I needed answered, and yeah, I'm still fuming even after the fact that the...

Good news, I don't have Peripheral neuropathy like it was thought Bad news. I do have Meralgia Paraesthetica and also Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The pain in my thigh is insane. I've been unabel to sleep for 2 days. It's going to sound stupid but the feel of the sheet or blankets on my leg is...

I've just got back from seeing the doctors Diabetes nurse who has taken yet more blood - apparently constantly sweating isn't a side effect of any of the medication I'm on - My Hba1c has gone up and so has my cholesterol not by much hba1c went up by .2 and my weight went down by 2 pound so I...

About 3 months ago I decided enough was enough I was sick and tired of being careful of being told what to do of watching what I ate so I ignored my diabetes totally I stop taking the metaformin I put the test meter at the back of a cupboard and said sod it and got on with my life or lack...

Okay so in the thread here I posted about how I managed to get my HBa1c down from 10.6 to 6.9 in three months. i've just got back from seeing the diabetes nurse who basically spent the last 5 minutes of the appointment all but making me stand and face the corner If I wanted to be treated like a...

I've got no idea whats going on, but for some reason my blood sugar levels have decided to spike and I'm exhausted. Not just tired but physically exhausted. I feel like I've been pushing against a solid wall of air all day just to do anything. I've got a slight cold and I know that people in the...

This is going to sound odd but I was diagnosed a while ago and told not to test. Well I decided to test anyway and in 6 weeks I've managed to get a handle of sorts of my results. For the past 3 days my results have been below 11 and above 7.4 so I thought that it had been pretty good. I went...

hi all, sorry about the title It's just getting a little irritating with in a week of being diagnoised, I've been getting multiple junk emails with titles such as 'if you died today' or 'if you died tomorrow' or even the often repeated 'how would your family cope with your loss' most of them...

The GP has booked an eye test for me. I have had the letter through with the test date etc now the GP mentioned something about drops in my eyes for the test but the letter doesn't state if I need to take some one with me or not for afterwards. So if someone who has had the test could let me...

Totally off topic but does anyone know how I change my user name. I've only just realised its all in caps and looks like I'm shouting at everybody.

My Sd Codefree has just turned up and I've used it for the first time I love how easy it is to use and how with the software I can see the results on my PC (I brought the data cable) but I have no idea if my results are good, bad or just plain ugly. I got a result of 7.9, that's not pre-meal or...

Sorry, for posting here but I don't want to worry the GF any worse than she already is. It's just a bad day. I'm looking at my life and the future and all I can see is endless tablets, endless medical appointments and I just don't see why I should bother. If diabetes is progressive then all I...

Every time I go online I seem to be coming here with another question. Sorry if I'm bugging people :/ But yes I have another question. Sorry again I've decided to start keeping a food diary and was filling it in and I just realised I have no idea how to work out the carbs etc if it was made...

My Girlfriend and I are confused about exactly what kind of rice she can cook for me and what type of bread is suitable to eat, obviously in small amounts. So much of what we are being told is either confusing or conflicting. Also what kind of cereal is acceptable? I was recently diagnosed with...
