I use clikfine auto protect, my stomach was sore changed site to thighs, no problems approx 5 injections per day 5 31g mm

Oh Yes, but support is lacking. I desperately need to understand the cycles of glucose bloods. When people quote a reading they cheerfully state a figure ie 5.6 but they never say when it was taken. After using a freestyle libre, quite unnecessary some might say, I get cycles ranging from 17 at...

I should add, as you do upon reflection that 2000mg Metformin seemed to cause an overactive bowel, and that I do of course have other medication for non diabetic but chronic conditions hence the reference to "tablets" and balance.

My hospital Doctor said to me, you are taking tablets but you have to have a life and need to do the best you can. Words of wisdom I have carried with me for many years, I enjoy life to the best of my ability and do the best I can with Tablets. I had large doses of metformin 2000 mg a day and...

My concern is with the 2013 additions and the fact that the chemist was querying my warfarin which is handled perfectly well by my gp and hospital. The chemist does not know my history.

There must be someone amongst us who can explain or comment upon the MUR therapy check 2012 modified 2013. I may have misunderstood my chemist but I thought participation was voluntary, or is the a way of moving services from my GP and hospital to the high street. My particular concern is that...

Spoke to my Nurse female and then doctor, problem much improved. Some loss of sensitivity but excellent support from diabetic team

I dont like to compare but I have received excellent care and attention from my Nurse, she treats me like an adult and we make joint decisions, for testing I was given a meter that was acceptable to the Health Trust and test as required, ie if I think it necessary. I also purchased contour...

According to my understanding there is an entitlement for erectile dysfunction if you are diabetic. I discussed it with my nurse and then with my GP. Different areas different rules perhaps, but certainly I have Cialis, and I also find it helps to make urination easier too since with my...

I have had ramipril for the last few years, possibly ten. The cough is dry and unpleasant but my Dr has said that for me it offers the best protection. We have discussed medication and since I have been on Warfarin since the 70's I rely upon his judgement. Responsibility for my health managent...

Surely there were comments about reducing or eliminating hydrolysed oils for neuropathy

I am cautious about my reply because my experience is probably unlike most peoples situation, I find it very difficult to tell whether it is a problem caused by warfarin or diabetes when out on the golf course. My surgery warned me last time that I would be unlikely to have further supplies of...

Thank you all "serious food for thought". As stated or implied the motivation is to enjoy a game of golf, walking with a trolley and to avoid the highs and lows. Today I had a porridge and honey breakfast with orange juice and unsweetened tea. I abstained from food and drink during the round...

Thank you, my concern is that I obviously have got it wrong. My figures were running at 5.6 average and everything seems under control and there seemed little problem Hbs were about 5.7 for about three years and 6.2 last one which sounded a warning, and now the figures are shooting up to 10s...

As a type two diabetic it would be appreciated if anyone has experience of a regime that will result in a balanced level during a game. On medical advice I try to have porridge and honey before starting, with a mouthful or two of a sugar drink at the ninth. From my meter I seem to use up about...

Me too, just what I have been waiting for, small compact and easy to use with a computer. Very similar to a memory stick in operation on the computer, but a standard glucose meter in use. Cannot fault it, it has so many convenient features. It took a while to get used to the software because I...
