I haven't no but that's a really good idea. Our drs in Cornwall are somewhat useless and don't tend to listen but it's definitely worth a try thank you :)

Thank you for your reply. It's still the same on and off, the only thing I can think of is my tresiba. I can't really remember feeling this bad before it. Luckily enough I am going on to a pump in the near future so hopefully this will tell me if it is the long acting Insulin. I truly hope you...

So you think it may be what I'm eating? I am a lover of food and I ate everything from take outs to healthy items but I can't honestly say I feel better after a salad or fruit. High carb foods do make me more sluggish though.

Hi everyone, Just wanted to see if I were the only person to feel this but on a regular basis no matter what my BG is, I feel like I'm on a stinking high. It's like I feel tightness in all my joints, my sense of smell goes off the chart, standard sweet tasting in my mouth and can't cope with...

I'm a regular smoker of it. I swear by its properties to help minimise the dreaded diabetic eye problems from too much laser but there is one thing that does annoy me which is unless I have my libre sensor on I struggle to tell (without testing BG) of I'm smashed or if I'm going on a low. Either...

I have been a T1 Diabetic for 23 years (diagnosed at 10) on and off through my life I have smoked weed. In my early years it was used as a numbing agent to get over troubles at the time then I stopped for about 8 years just because I couldn't really afford it. Now I am back smoking it again but...

Thank you everyone for your views and responses. Things have settled down for the moment and looking to be ok ish. I think the idea of written consent is a great idea and something to be looked into. There are not really many steps happening towards her needle phobia at the moment apart from...

I received mine actually due to replace the second sensor today :) it was a complete waste of time getting in contact I was just told I would receive notification from them when dispatched although I didn't get any further emails from them I did get an email and texts from dpd saying they would...

@AndBreathe thanks for your reply. Yes probably a good start I will look into it. As for the first aider, the pharmacist is the first aider of that location but a course on administering insulin might be a good idea :)

@noblehead seems that way yes although no policy has been mentioned and no risk assessment put in place since diagnosis. Not 100% that's a requirement for diabetes though :/

@catapilar I don't have any issues with them either although I can never watch when I have blood taken. Yes she would but I believe our diabetic nurse said she wouldn't be able to go on one just yet because of the length of diagnosis time (only 5 weeks ish)

@urbanracer your probably right although I had my flu shot from the same pharmacist last year lol

Hi there. Yes the metre reading read high so over 30 mmol She has only been diagnosed since March and has recently in April been diagnosed with hyperactivethyroidism. Due to a missed breakfast dose (couldn't do it) and a very late lunch dose (again couldn't do it) she went on a downward spiral...

Thank you both for your kind words and advise. My wife suffers from a slight needle phobia. By that I mean she doesn't like putting extra pressure on the pen to pierce the skin. I have to do her night time insulin every night in her leg because she can't bare to look/do them herself which...

Hi, bit of I strange one and a question I thought I knew the answer to. The other day my wife was at work and couldn't inject, she went off the meter and was in a right state. She tried her stomachs numerous amounts of times but with no luck. She rang her diabetic nurse who said "is there...

Hi, was wondering if someone could help me. My wife and I are both T1 and we finally decided to order the freestyle Libre last Thursday. There was a lack of communication between us and we ended up buying 3. I rang to cancel 1 but they said it was already processed and that I would need to...
