    Toujeo Insulin - BEWARE!!!!!

    I've been on it for 3 months (80 units a day) after using Levemir then Lantus and for the first couple of weeks my readings improved i.e. many below 10. Then the last couple of months has been a nightmare with highs of 20 plus for no particular reason, resulting in shots of 30 units of Novorapid...

    Suarez's New Selfie

    I see your point Fergus, but 3 strikes and your out ( or rather 3 bites and you're out :D) I expect Liverpool FC have done n'owt about getting Suarez any help after his last nibble against Chelsea? If this is the case, then they must take at least some of the blame for this.

    cramp in ankles

    Yes Suzy I do. I get cramp in my muscles to the side of the shin bone in both legs, at the tops of the calves and in in my forearms and fingers. I've tried many of the standard treatments but nothing seems to stop it. I hope you get your cramps successfully treated.
