Just needed to have 1 last say on this thread. I think that the medical advice that is and has been handed out by doctors nurses and alike seems to vary widely from place to place and time given. I distinctly remember a doctor saying to me when i was first diagnosed,"we use each needle once...

Dont be disheartened by statistics they dont take everything into account. Non diabetics can die young the same as diabetics can live to a ripe old age. If theres one thing ive learnt its to make the most of life and enjoy it as much as you can. Stressing about it is just as bad for you. Dont...

Hi all, again. I tell you what. I wish I had looked up this site earlier in my life, Thanks for all the views and comments and HELP that I have seen on here. Supprising how much it helps to know other people experience the same things, and nice to learn how they react. Keep it coming. Pef.

I think it can be serious, I suppose how deep the hypo is and how fast asleep you are both matter. On the few occaisions ive had hypos and woke myself up I find im much more confused at night than in the day so glucose of some form closeby is a good idea. On the other occaisions my partner has...

Ive been diabetic for over 20 years now and have found I always get a bit of a warning of hypo so have never passed out. Harder if you go hypo at night though, so always keep some glucose nearby.

True. Dont know that they would pay me very much anyway. No I must say I tend to just inject in my stomach when I go out (less fuss). But I still think it would be nice to be considered by large chains of food establishments. It seems its ok to breastfeed in public these days (and fair...

Perhaps if we all stand in the middle of the restaraunts and drop our trousers/skirts to inject then we can charge entertainment fees. :wink:

Does anyone else hate having to inject insulin in dirty toilets? I often inject into my thighs, i rotate to different areas but dont like injecting into my stomach as this gives me fatty lumps. When i go out for a meal I dont want to drop my trousers in the middle of the restaraunt as people...

Hi all, I was medically discharged from the army in 1991 becaus after a posting to cyprus I became t1. When I first came out the army was not paying me a pension beyond my time served pension. Whcih at the time was 5 1/2 years, and was about £10 a week. So I got in touch with the medical...

Re: Flu jab 2010. sorry hope my message was not seen as anti flu jab. I posted it as an answer to another thread and it was moved here as it refers to flu vaccine. I am a total believer that the flu vaccine is safe and was not trying to question that. Just wondered if the jab or perhaps...

Flu Jab 2010 Hi im type 1 and have been for 21 years now, I have had several occaisions where flu jabs have seemed to throw my sugars for a day or two. But it never lasts long. I dont know wether its coincidence or if there is link with some flu jabs. Does any one know if there is a link? Pef

Hi all, This is my first visit to this forum and I wish to start by offering late condolences. It is a hard time when a close one dies. Please remember though that being told you are diabetic is like being hit with a sledge hammer. Please dont hold it against someone who has trouble dealing...
