I love my soup maker. I'm going to give the pea and ham soup a try.

Talking of AWT, I saw I think it was a BBQ sauce with is name on it, the first ingredient....SUGAR :shock:

I wondered about the cream idea patch but wondered if they would set as firm. I have a box of blackcurrant and orange flavour in the fridge at the moment but lime jellies make yummy 'sweets' Also I usually just eat the odd couple as it would be very easy to eat the equivalet of a whole jelly...

1 sugar free jelly 2 packs powdered gelatine Makeup the sugar free jelly with 1/2 pint water Add 2 sachets powdered gelatine mix well makes about 24 sweets ...I use silicone sweet moulds as the 'jellies' are easily turned out. These are good when you just fancy that sweet 'kck' I find they...

Thankyou Gat. I do have a sharps bin to dispose of the needles and apparently I hand this in at the doctors when it is full......but I wasn't told what to do with the 'finished' pen

I have just finished using my first Byetta pen and wondered how I dispose of it......do I just throw it in the bin ? Thanks

Thanks Dave, I was getting a bit worried that my numbers weren't coming down and adding that with the fact I haven't suffered from feeling sick ...I was wondering if Byetta wasnt working for me. I suppose 5 days isn't long enough for me to know anyway.

Ok GaT Thankyou anyway

I started on Byetta today along with metformin and glyclazide. Can anyone tell me approx how long before I will notice a difference with my bg numbers. Thanks

Thanks Cugila....I'll look for that thread now.

I start on byetta tomorrow and the nurse told me to take it half hour before breakfast. I never thought to ask but can I have a coffee (with milk) before the half hour or aren't I supposed to drink either ? Thanks

Well I just gor back from the diabetes clinic and have been prescribed Byetta. I am so pleased I stuck to my guns with the GP and asked to be referred to the hospita clinic because he had said to me, you may as well go straight onto insulin as you will be prescribed that eventually anyway. I...

Thankyou

Just been for the appointment and it wasn't half as bad as I thought. Urine sample was fine, that was a worry so thank goodness. The doctor was really good and like unbeliever said it was good to talk to someone who really knew what they were talking about and was extremely informative...

Thankyou so much everyone, you have eased my mind no end. I see and endo this Thursday and then diabetic nurse next Tuesday. I just hope I dont have to go in hospital as my bg numbers are around 15 at the minute.

I ave a hospital appointment with a view of going onto insulin or something else. I am really scared at the thought of givin myself an injection. Can anyone ease my worries by telling me what its like and where do you have to inject yourself and are the needles long and need pushing in a long...

Thankyou for that, not quite so daunting when you have some idea.....none of which I got from my GP surgery or the clinic when I rang them. I dont think they realise some of us are actually frightened of hospitals/doctors etc and just a little advice would help settle our minds.

Hi there, My medication no longer keeps my bg levels at an acceptable level so I asked to be refered to the hospital diabetic clinic which I have been. Today I got an apt for the week before to the endocrinology clinic to see a specialist. have to take a water sample. Can anyone tell me what...

so far so good guys. Viv, carbs have always sent my bg levels high, I listened to my nurse and gve it a good go but my numbers were terrible.

The past few days I have fallen off the wagon and oh boy :o( I wouldnt say massively but enough to make me realise how carbs affect me. It started with me craving something sweet. My low sugar jelly bith raspberries didnt seem to help and I gave in and ate bread. I ate bread again the next...
