Just want to give everyone a big thank you - I gave my presentation to the techs today and it all went well. The stories and examples you've all given me really helped to support their learning. I've been asked to give another presentation to a larger audience of slightly more qualified...

Can you summarise what sort of balance of food you mean? University taught me that where possible lifestyle alterations such as food and exercise should be advised before resorting to a drug. Things that I learned about were the "eatwell plate" and basics like trying to get your five fruit and...

Unfortunately while type 3c was briefly mentioned in University I don't know much about it. Thanks for the reminder though. It must be hard to keep an eye on your blood glucose levels. Do you do regular blood glucose strip testing or have an electronic device similar to the first gentleman who...

I want to apologise if I came off as a bit dismissive and rude - that wasn't at all my intention. Unfortunately I've got a very limited amount of time to give my talk to the technicians and want to concentrate on the most common things they'll come across. From what I've read on Reactive...

This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for! Thanks for taking the time to read and reply. Could you clarify what you mean by meal time insulin? I'm assuming this is a short acting preparation - I'd like to be able to quote a specific brand if possible. If you could also tell me how many...

My name is Tim and I am a Pre-registration (trainee) Pharmacist working/studying in a hospital under the NHS. I've been given the task of delivering a small presentation to some trainee Pharmacy technicians. These are the lovely people who you'll likely meet in a hospital setting who will ask...
