Before I was diagnosed as T2 I deliberately injected in public areas at work and not discreetly either. I couldn't care less what other people say or think but my reasoning was that everyone could see me and then had the opportunity to ask questions and spread the word of (what I thought was) my...

It always cracks me up when people use the term "user" for cannabis smokers and then say 'I have the odd beer/cigarette'. Alcohol is a drug and significantly worse for the body than cannabis, especially when vaped. Of course there will be people that shouldn't smoke it but I guarantee there are...

I've been smoking regularly (in moderation) for >25 years with no problems in any aspect of my life. I smoke one day a week unless I'm on holiday these days but I've never found it to negatively effect my diabetes (T2), quite the opposite in fact. The main positive is its effect on my anxiety...

I was always exhausted and no matter what I did with my diet and meds I felt no better. I then added a vitamin D supplement to my morning routine and less than a month later I was, and still am, full of the energy I had as a teenager. Just to prove the point, since that energy returned I've gone...

Thanks guys. I don't think I'll be going anywhere near Cantherone given the choice, an excruciating blister on the foot won't go down well working in security. I think I'll speak to the DSN about having it frozen at the practice, I've had poor pain sensitivity since childhood (not gotten any...

Thank you. :)

Hi all. Does anyone have any experience with T2D and verruca treatments? I bought some salicylic acid plasters and bazooka gel and they took a decent layer of hard skin off he top but the stinging was a touch uncomfortable (though normal) and I didn't really want to try it again, what with the...

I was told I was type 1 and thought so for two months until the final diagnosis. Dealing with what was thought to be T1 for that time was one of the most stressful things I've ever had to deal with and tbh, I'm not sure I could have (I'm 40 and very organised). Being told I was T2 was the...

I wish I knew my original hba1c results but I was diagnosed at a really poor hospital and I get little to no information from them. The only reason I have my results from this test is because my local surgery based DSN asked for the results of my latest test done there but they didn't send her...

Thank you for the links and information, it's much appreciated and settled my anxiety somewhat. I do have a follow up question though. Bluetit and Hiitsme, you guys said that my reading is within the pre diabetes range, does that hold true even though meds are involved? As in, i'm not achieving...

Hi all. I was diagnosed T2D (originally T1D diagnosis) around 6 months ago and just received my hba1c test results for the first time and would appreciate some help in interpreting the results. 45 mmol/mol = 7.4 Normal Range = 20 - 42 mmol/mol Everything in the test results shows up green...

I work a lot of hours (70p/w) and used to find it tough to eat properly when I was first diagnosed. What helped me was finding www.myprotein.com. They sell low carb very healthy microwaveable ready meals (6 pack = £2.50-3.00 per meal). What I do is steam some veg and cook a small amount of pasta...
