Thank you Copepod, i'll try that!

I tried to look for answers on Google and here but couldn't find anything except for an american website. I now have at least 2 meters i don't use, plus one spare i keep in case of emergency. I also have pens that are almost brand new and a few lancet devices that i don't need. I'm not sure if...

I have indeed. Am I really a cheapskate to think that more than £150 is a rip off? Thanks for the link tho, it seems nobody knows a good one. Silly me, "good" and "insurance" are not two words that goes together well :D

Anybody knows a good and CHEAP travel insurance for a travel in Thailand and Cambodia? I checked the forum but couldn't find any relevant information about this. I just realized that most travel insurance don't take into account "preexisting medical condition", so i got a few quotes from other...

I'm in cugi!! :) Ok...i have some news..i had my yearly diabetic review at the hospital last friday and told the doctor i met there about my restriction to 2 test strips a day. My beautiful HbA1c was 9.7, which means my average blood sugar level is around freakin' 15mmol...very good indeed...

And Thirsty...i think that's why the pharmaceutical companies give meters for free...so that you HAVE to buy their strips...and so that they can get away with ridiculous prices over a small bit of cheap plastic. Just making profits over the needy. They are eeeeeevils too :evil: I'm a paranoid...

Hey Dennis :) That's a good idea but i hate lawyers...they're eeeeeevil :evil:

Grrrrr....that makes me sooo mad...but i was told exactly the same in my surgery. Consequently...by trying to test less often i had a severe hypo which led to hospital and a broken nose. I'm type 1 as well and their cost cutting ******** really makes me angry. I didn't go back to the surgery...

Coming for news! My face is only pink by now...boooooring :D I went to see the doctor for my nose today and it definately is broken..but getting better. I actually broke it a second time with my boyfriend when we tried to kiss three days ago and headbutted eachother...ouch that was painful...

Ta yipster...i'm turning yellow-purple-ish by now...the cocoa butter with vitamin E seems to accelerate the healing process. I'm still scary but....colourful!!! :D

Ok...thanx everybody...my boyfriend just got me some arnica cream and cocoa butter with vitamin E. I feel like it's gonna take AGES for me to allow myself out of this flat so that i don't scare the little children!!! :) Pity is i was finally starting to get myself together. Now i don't know...

Thanks ladies!

I fell on my face on monday after a very bad hypoglyceamia at work. I was rushed to A&E covered in blood. I look like Rocky Balboa after a fight at the moment. And i feel awful. So i just wondered if any of you knew about a product that helps healing and prevent my beautiful scars from being too...

Maybe but it does the same with any other kind of fat that doesn't contain carbs. I luv oats! :shock:

Weirdly for me porridge is alright if i don't associate it with somthing that has fat in it providing of course that i match the amount of insulin to the food intake. If i ever have peanut butter and bread with it at breakfast then i will be too high for too long. I guess it's because the fat...

I saw a doctor in the hospital two months ago, he send me to my GP to get a prescription. It took me 3 weeks to get an appointment at the GP because they're always "fully booked". Finally my GP gave me a phone number, saying she couldn't give me a prescription. Bloody hell. Wasting my time. I...

You misunderstood me....i'm already re-addicted. 20 per days. I need advice to quit again! I stopped for four years already but i was in a different situation where i could handle it more easily.

I took a resolution for this year and it's to smoke again. :mrgreen: I'm not proud of it and i need to hear your advices...pleaaaaaase.

Some people can stop their insulin completely during the honeymoon period. So...i unfortunately don't think you were misdiagnosed. It's just that your pancreas' cells wake up for a while before totally stoping the production of insulin. A cold or and infection can trigger the end of this...

This is absolutely unacceptable that they refuse to give you the medication you need to control your diabetes! It really makes me mad to hear that [:(!] I've had that kind of problem as well, it was sorted after i had an appointement in the hospital and they send my results and "needs" to the...
