I'd be scared the vet would just put me down though hee hee

These jokes are so funny. Keep them coming ☺

I'm so glad it's going good for you. Yes youre right about rotation. I've never tried it on my thigh though but if you recommend it as another area ill give it a try. When it's on my backside I always forget and end up ripping it out. Thanks for the idea and again I'm really pleased the pumps...

Oh my god I'm so sorry. How sexist that was of me lol. I'm glad you can't see how red my face has gone. Well in that case you're a brilliant dad. Complimant still stands lol. Karen

I'm not familiar with the Animas Pump but I also have that problem with my Omnipod Pump. Sometimes a small lump forms under the skin and the insulin flow is comprised. When I used to inject I always did it in the same place because it didnt seem to hurt as much but big lumps formed which i still...

Hi, I'm a newbie myself but wanted to say hello. I'm sorry to hear that your hospital is lacking in info especially in this day and age. It shouldn't. I've been type 1 for 35 years and am pretty clued up now over the years. This site has everything you'll need to know about diabetes and how to...

What pump do you use? I'm on the omnipod and love it. Nearly two years now. Hope you're getting on ok with your pump and not having any problems. Happy pumping ☺

Well actually now he's older he doesn't listen to me at all. It's very hard to get through to him the complications that can happen if he doesn't look after it. I'm suffering the complications and he sees that but it's still not enough for him to keep well. I do understand him though as I've...

Hi I'm new here to but thought I'd say hi as my son is diabetic type 1 and I know how hard it can be. I am also type 1. It's can be challenging looking after a child with diabetes as they don't always do what they should to keep well. This is a great forum and you'll learn a lot from people on...

Very funny jokes thank you

Ditto

Lol very funny, made me laugh

I shouldn't really moan as I still find some enjoyment in life. Got a fantastic grandson who makes me smile. As for james well he doesn't listen to his friends either. Tonight I just blew my lid at him. Another HI then after loads of insulin it was still HI four hours later!!! His sugars must...

Thank you Catherinecherub I have now sent a pm today. I'm learning lol ☺

Thank you azure ill have a read now. Think it would be good for him. Did his sugar today and it was HI. Been like this for weeks. I think he isn't doing his long acting insulin as he knows he can lose weight this way or he just can't be bothered. I try to watch him do his insulin but he's 18...

Thank you I will try to work out how to pm you. Computer illiterate unfortunately but learning ☺ what a wonderful site you and others run.

Yes that is good idea maybe he won't feel alone. Sometimes I think because I'm the only diabetic he knows he just thinks he will end up like me so what's the point. Maybe if he reads some of the stories on here he will realise people can live well with diabetes. Thank you for the idea I will see...

Thank you very much Catherinecherub that would be great. Nice to meet you. You too RRB, nice to meet you and thank you all for making me feel welcome. This is a great site.

Hi 4ratbags hope you are well and thank you for your welcome. To be honest I grew up thinking the only complications of diabetes were amputations and blindness. I only found out about Autonomic Neuropathy when I got diagnosed three years ago. It's when the vagus nerve (second largest nerve in...

I have taken neurontin also known as gabapentin for ten years now and works a treat. It's an anti epileptic drug but works on nerve pain too. It's so good, I'm on the highest dose but I know others who find just a low dose a relief.
