Unfortunately to keep the members details and data intact is only possible if you upgrade to a newer version of the same forum. I've come across this before, and had to start from scratch so members had to re-register. We kept the old forum going for a short period as 'read only' and advised...

This forum's administration is sadly lacking. It's a shame because it's UK based, and its intentions are good. To see the constant spam posts, and even to have sticky posts warning about it, is pathetic. I'll look in from time to time, but no longer wish to take an active part. kind...

Hi Sarah No, the 40 units of Actrapid is correct. My current injections are: morning - 36-40 Actrapid + 22/24 Insulutard evening - the same. I find being an earlyish riser that by 5pm my insulin has usually worn off. A couple of years ago the dose was less, something like 24 actrapid +...

Today for example I took my injection at 7.30am. Actrapid 40, Insulutard 22. BS level=9.7 Didn't eat until midday: BS level 4.8 1 toast bacon egg beans sausage mushroom Afternoon: 1 bottle of lager 1 whiskey (12yr old :)) 5pm BS level 14.9 Just think what my readings would...

Hi John Could you elaborate on what you did to achieve your current results? I'd guess that we have the same build judging by your height/weight, and therefore think that what works for you could possibly be similar for myself. I've had diabetes for 41 years, and in the last 12 months have...

Ah right, I was wondering what the attraction was for that one. I'm learning so much from this site, thank you, Kitty. kind regards Dave

Just saw this on another topic.. <blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"><i>Originally posted by Dennis</i> <br />Hi Linda, If you have no luck getting a tester then just phone AccuCheck help desk, tell them...

Hi Kitty I don't know where you can buy that particular lancing device from. Does it have to be that one? Boots are doing an Accu-chek whole system which includes the finger pricker for £7.63. http://www.boots.com/shop/product_details.jsp?productid=1027773&classificationid=1046401...

<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"><i>Originally posted by sugar</i> <br /> Dave, do you consider a hypo to be when you are completely "out of it?" <hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font...

I spoke to the diabetic nurse at the hospital last week about this problem of not enough test strips, and she confirmed that a lot of their patients were saying the same thing. She is going to get the consultant to write a letter to my GP on the matter. I'll let you know what happens in the...

Thanks for the replies guys, I was looking for something different to my regular ideas. Tofu is something I've never tried as is peppered beef jerky, although I'm not certain about the latter. :) Please keep the ideas coming as it's a good list so far. kind regards Dave

Anyone got any ideas for light snacks that contain no carbos? Sometimes my BS levels are not low enough to allow for food containing carbos so I might cut myself a slice of cheese or something. It might be of interest if you listed some of your favorite <b>no carbos</b> snacks for those of...

I now see why you have a 'spam watch section' judging by the rubbish posted on here in the last 24hrs. One way to eliminate all spam would be to use a better forum as the Snitz forums are very basic. phpBB are very good as are Ikonboard. Making new members reply to an email by clicking...

Thanks erroneous, amazing how the price varies between different companies isn't it. kind regards Dave

I have a OneTouch Ultra2 meter. I've only had it a week and noticed that it has a hole at the bottom that looks like it could take a lead of some sort. Anyone know if that's the case? I must say that I'm very impressed with this new machine in its ease of use, it gives an average over the...

Sorry, I should've posted my stuff too. I'm 6' and weigh 90kilos/14 stone. I haven't yet started the pen system, but based on my current consumption the doctor has suggested:- Lantus - 30 units NovoRapid - 10/12/14-16 This may change, but is the starting point. kind regards Dave

If only I could get Lucozade on prescription. :D kind regards Dave

The last time I had a glucose tab was about 1974. I'm just surprised that you have the time to chew and swallow them. Do they work that quickly then? kind regards Dave
