Ha ha - great idea, I'm fully for people starting new trends or word labels...go for it..what could get broken.? You could name it JoKalsbeek or Snoopy or whatever...what you are trying to communicate with it or who you wish to connect with will be affected of course, but why not have some fun...

Hi nannoo bird, first my commiserations - I get that this has you 'climbing the walls'. I have type 1 diabetes and have had sketchy control of my bgls over the years. Lately (last few years) I have also been very aware of my depression and had been spending a lot of time in bed. Not...

CRAZY - why would stevia (a non-nutritive sweetener) be bulked with dextrose/glucose (a VERY fast-acting blood glucose raiser?)...sorry Mr Pot - I haven't noticed this particular blending of products but it may indeed happen. Im in New Zealand and maybe haven't seen same products as you (?) in...

... I have been type 2 for 25 years and when I was diagnosed I was told I was type 1 but it took them 2 years to figure out why I was still producing insulin from my pancreas which I still am today and that they messed up and realised that I have had type 2 diabetes since I was diagnosed and...

...just thought Id better click a reply to your post - so my question in the above post is seen...? ..so this is my post post post.? o_O

Hi porl69, thanks for the news re miaomiao2 (and Libre2) developments. Im in NZ so I guess this will all take a bit longer to come to us. I have a miaomiao (bought about 2 months ago) but had no success getting it to connect with my phone (a Samsung) - felt frustrated and .. so havent even tried...

Hi Robbity - I dislike (being polite) when products get 'quiet' changes too. There is a space there (methinks) for Consumer watchdog organisations to keep databases on all groceries (I know that's a big ask) and when prices, ingredients or packaging (size) changes. Would probably get some...

I was looking for the serving number info too - it wasn't stated but I assumed that we probably aren't 'meant' (?) to eat 2 cups of icecream in one sitting - but that dosn't mean its not possible!...and on some days I might just do it...

Hi Crumbling Wall, My commiserations for a start - I myself hate the land of guesswork that diabetes can have us ambling around in. I have t1 and a tendency towards anxiety and pushing for 'perfection' - which I never attain and never likely will but taking a step back and seeing my unhelpful...

Oh okay, you were a little (more mature) than I had projected - but nonetheless your Doc sounds like his perception of his knowledge was larger than his knowledge. You poor thing for going through that time. I'm glad the hospital corrected it. Makes me wonder - do they ever give feedback to each...

Ugggghhh. So much for scientific method.

It seems to be an issue all over the place. I'm a type 1 in New Zealand. Some regional diabetes clinics here seem to get good reviews from their patients re their efforts and understanding of the conditions and best managements but a lot fall short - including mine in many ways. Medical care in...

Wow - did I read your message right? You were diagnosed over 30 years ago (so probably quite young then?) with type 1 and now they are 're'- diagnosing you as late-onset type 2?...has your Doc completely missed reading your diagnosis of 30 years ago and casework since? And isn't type 2...

Hi nikolakiss, Ha ha - here I was thinking - I know the answer to this one (when just reading your subject line) but then reading your actual message in whole - I also became confused...hmmm maybe I don't know - so like you I'm on a quest to understand this stuff. My thoughts were that low carb...

correction....oops ..I meant quite diverse not quiet diverse...

Hi ickihun, you have had your fair share of difficult and painful illnesses - I feel for you - I am type 1 and have had some other illnesses too - irritable bowell/gastroparesis - never been properly diagnosed as one or the other but improving (less painful symptoms) as I limit my flour intake...
