High time I fessed up to my rubbish latest HbA1c result a couple of weeks ago. I think progress from 54 to 49 to 43 to 41 and a surprising 37 a couple of months ago allowed for complacency to set in. I have been slowly easing off too much and the carbs have crept back in a little too...

Hi. This is possibly not the ideal place to post this question but I thought I would get the best response here. I have found it almost impossible to get past the log in stage on this site for over a month, managing only once or twice in that time. I have had no other issue with any other...

Hi. I thought I'd post my latest HbA1c result as I was anticipating a bit of a hike having snuck back into the habit of croissant munching in the morning and having a few chips with my dinner (not to mention the odd pizza) over the past 6 months or so. I was dreading it, having fought quite hard...

Hi. I wanted to thank @Brunneria for taking the time to message me to clarify a few things when I decided to make myself scarce following frustration I was feeling in relation to a worrying degree of negative comments between a small number Type 1 and Type 2 posters. Without going into...

So...having opted to take some time out from input to the forums/site partly due to my view that some (admittedly few) Type 1s felt that some Type 2 replies to Type 1 newbies were less than accurate or helpful and that things were feeling a bit less than positive, I decided to ignore my own...

Just thought I would let anyone interested know that I am taking a break from the site for a while. Recently, I tried to persuade someone who was quitting due to being upset/disappointed by responses he felt (rightly or wrongly) were critical of him when he tried to give help to a Type 1 and...

Hi. Anyone on the drug Doxazosin or have experience of it. I have been on 2mg daily for a shirt while now and notice my blood sugars at the end of the night are up a bit. I take it along with some other meds I need around 10pm. I am usually testing my levels post meal about an hour or so later...

Guy goes into a pub and orders a beer. While the bartender is pouring it, he goes to get some cigarettes from the machine. He looks as the contents and is shocked to hear a voice from the machine ask "What are you looking at, a@@hole? Go to hell!". Stunned, he makes his way back to the bar...

Fergus McStillnaw, an anti-Scottish independence voter who expected a vote for Brexit to help his job prospects...is doing a project for his basic adult science class at college; students have to study an insect for a day and then briefly discuss their findings in front of the class. Fergus is...

Why did the monkey fall out of the tree? It was dead. Why did the second monkey fall out of the tree? It was tied to the first one. Why did the third monkey fall out of the tree? It thought it was a game.

A guy goes up to an ice cream van and asks is a very gruff and husky voice "Can I have a 99 please?" The salesman asks "Crushed nuts?" "No...laryngitis". I am so...so...so...sorry.

Hi. I know that meters have margin errors, and I know that a million and one factors contribute to each reading, and I also know that this happens..and I have even referred to it myself as nothing to worry about...BUT...I'm interested in why people think stabbing one (clean) finger can produce...

What's black and white and sits on a wall? Humpty baseball boot. I am so sorry....so very sorry.

Hi. I am reluctantly posting this because I have not seen a moderator on line in the early hours over the past few days...save one...who never replied to me. Has there been some change to where to find one..or is there another way besides looking on the main page at who is on line? I was awarded...

Hi. I am sure many of you will be aware that steroids can cause dramatic increases in blood sugar levels, and that long term treatment with particular steroids can actually trigger or directly cause Type 2. I got diabetes after taking prednisolone for over three months as part of my...

Hi. I was worried that my less than strict adherence to the low carb diet which had been very successful for me would have had a bad effect on my HbA1c test last week...but, despite croissants and cereal and even biscuits..it is down from 43 to 41! Of course, this means that it could have been...

Hi. I have not been on the site regularly for some time due problems with my transplanted kidney. Over the last few weeks, I've been in and out of hospital for tests, biopsies etc.and have had four separate and different aggressive infections due to my immuno-suppressants (to prevent rejection)...

Had my HbA1c test done on a couple of days ago..and was worried coz evil croissants and the odd pain chocolat have conspired with bran flakes to sabotage my breakfast intentions. Pizza had also appeared a few times, and the other night I was even back-stabbed by an Indian korma with peschwari...

"Liza! There's a hole in my bucket! Liza! There's a ho..." "Aye! Ok, Bob. Let's not make a bloody song and dance about it, eh?" SORREEEE

Hi...just thought I'd share the recent research. Apparently, if you are Scottish and vote SNP in the forthcoming elections - your blood sugar level drops substantially and this may even cure you of Type 2 diabetes!!! Conversely, voting Scottish Tory increases it....what? Ok...not true but worth...
