    Acne in a T2

    Hi all, I'm going through a prolonged period of quite bad acne on my face. My BG control was not so good for about 3 months but is now back to normal due to a change in my insulin regime.

    Shitebetic

    hi all. i was just wondering what somebody does when nothing actually works to reduce BG levels? Is there a way to just kill yourself with all the insulin that you get given by the NHS? I wonder if that's what they're aiming at as they give me a shed load of it haha. Perhaps the new NHS...

    The later I get out of bed, the higher my BG level

    Hi everyone, sorry if I'm repeating something that's been covered before, but I've noticed with me the later I get up during the day, the higher my BG levels are. For example, up at 10.45am BG 8.8 (5.3 before sleeping); up at 10.17am BG 7.7 (6.3 before sleeping); up at 8.20am BG 6.5 (7.2 before...

    Hi All

    Hi everyone, I've just joined this forum so thought I would introduce myself. I've been a T2 for 4 years now and have not found it very easy (as I'm sure you can all appreciate!). However, I'm learning all the time and hope to continue to learn more from this forum. Cheers, Steve :)
