To be honest was absolutely terrified. I'm a bit of a needle phobe, nope tell a lie there is no bit about it. However due to auto shield needles and a fantastic supportive DN really really wish I had done it years ago

I mentioned it to DN and she said it would settle soon but am still keeping fingers and legs crossed :)

Hi there. Have recently (last 12 weeks) been put on the novomix 30 insulin pen and have noticed an extreme increase in, well how can I put this politely, botty burping. Quantity, frequency and as my husband puts it, flavour. Has anyone else had this problem???? :oops:

Hi YES! YES! YES! I know where you are coming from, have found that if you make up an angel delight (the sugar free one) then freeze it or put in an ice-cream maker you fool yourself into think that you've had an ice-cream. Usually half a bowl 3/4 scoops is enough to satisfy the craving...

Yeah am type 2. My main problem is that I have a very small appetite and don't always get hungry. Been told to add some carbs with all of my meals, which is not my favourite type of food. Any advice you could give around small lunches that regulate would help as lunch time is my biggest down...

Hi Mike, I know what you mean about feeling younger when you have the correct medication and diet. I went on insulin about five weeks ago and can honestly say I didn't realise how ill I felt till I started to feel better. Am still up and down with my insulin so have therefore put on a little...

Hi there. Not exactly newly diagnosed. Have been diabetic for 21 years but due to poor management, and not soley on my part, have recently been put onto insulin. Still trying to get the insulin levels right which has been fun, especially the low hypo in the early hours of the morning. By...
