Sorry you are having trouble getting your insulin, many types of medication are in short supply these days and it’s worrying for people. Just so you are aware this is not the Diabetes UK forum or website. This is Diabetes.Co.Uk https://www.diabetes.co.uk/about.html not connected to the charity...

Message from the mod team Hi guys, mods have noticed there’s quite a number of posts that are now and again taking the thread off topic, we appreciate that you are supporting each other and it’s great to see that forum members have support of others when needed and we don’t want to stifle that...

Hi @Andymac62 :) We can’t diagnose or offer medical advice on the forum only share personal experience, the best thing to do is to get in touch with your GP and get it checked out.

Great result well done :)

I can’t comment on anything T1 or the workings of the sensor as I’ve never used one and I maybe not at all right but could your dad be pulling at the sensor in his sleep? Maybe it’s irritating him and he’s fiddling with it unbeknown to him? Also totally agree with others about getting both POA...

Hi @Markwrig - nice to see a long time lurker posting :) You may get more answers if you start your own thread with your question as you may get more responses mods can move your post to a new thread for you. If you would like us to do that just respond to this post :)

Get well soon @IanBish, take care of yourself

I used something like those years ago before T2 diabetes when I used to be on my feet at work 14 hr days - strangely they made me feel a bit queasy- a bit like mild seasickness. Never got away with them

Ooops sorry meant to say welcome to the forum :)

I was diagnosed T2 14 years ago whilst in hospital for something else, I’ve never seen a GP just the practice nurse. I have seen a GP a couple of times, once in the very early days when they took me off statins because my liver count went through the roof & once when my white blood cell count...

Here’s a link to various articles on this forums website https://www.diabetes.co.uk/?s=Life+insurance+ I haven’t read through them but hopefully there’s something there that’s helpful to you :)

From my recollection you can only re apply once you get the reminder - from what I remember you can’t apply for your next one until there is only 3 months left. A medical exemption cert covers a lot of conditions. A fair few that may not need life time exemption so I can’t see them issuing it...

Hi @Rustytypin Admin have contacted mods and confirmed it’s not related to this site

Thanks for the info - it sounds like it wasn’t a problem with the forum but the Safari page, but I’m not one bit tech minded, I’ve let admin know anyway so let’s wait and see

Hi @notafanofsugar - unfortunately forum members can’t advise on mediation & medical matters so we can’t say whether you can still use it or not, no one here knows your medical history. Like others have said you are best seeking advice from podiatry or GP. You could also speak to the pharmacist...

Thanks @Rustytypin :) so it wasn’t on DCUK site/forum but the Safari home page? I remain logged in all the time too and haven’t had an alert

Thanks for the tag @Rachox Hi @Rustytypin, Were you already signed in or do you sign in with your usual password? I’ll report to @Administrator for you as this is out of mods remit, if in the meantime you get any more problems please report them in this thread, hopefully it’s just been a...

When you say your BS started at 8 was that the test immediately before eating the meal and the 2nd test was 2 hrs after first bite was 8.3? If that’s the case your meal was absolutely great BG wise as you are looking for a rise of no more than 2, everyone even none diabetic will...

I think you do, it’s my recollection that I got a reminder about 3 months before, my hubby who has medical exemption since he was 22 for a different condition used to get reminders - both of us are over 60 now so no longer need them

Mine 14 years ago was credit card sized card, the next 2 were plastic, my last one is still just in date but I’m of the age I no longer pay for scripts anyway
