Thanks. Wonder if anyone can tell me how long did the cracks take to heal. I am thinking of going to see the doctor next week as the heel sometimes feel a bit painful

I have been quite neglectful of things lately. Anyway with the warm weather I started wearing sandals etc. I knew my heels were getting dry but last Saturday I noticed a few cracks and my heels were very dry. I got some creams which I have been applying since and have to say that the skin looks...

I started insulin in July and have sine put 30 lbs on. It's very disheartening. If I exercise and follow low carb I might lose 1/2 lbs a week. I hate it. Don't know how to overcome insulin resistance plus sugar is still high so probably need to take twice as much insulin.

Anyone has any more thoughts. So far I have not really had any other classic victoza side effects

The last five days I have been having this weird sensation in my arms and feet. It's like tingling, like having something crawling under my skin. The only things that have changed in the last few days is that I started victoza. I am still on the starter dose. Also I have started controlling my...

The course is about eating exercising and generally how to deal with diabetes. I am sure they will be advocating eating carbohydrates etc. Plus I have been diabetic for 10 years as well.

Hi I am not too far away from rugby. Pm me if you want. Oh I am already depressed I think hence why I am struggling to do anything about it. I hate my diabetes with a vengeance. I am at the hospital on Monday and I am going on a desmond course at the end of the month

You are lucky. I am on novomix 30 and I put on 20 lbs in 8 weeks. I am so miserable

Oh poor you. No that is not pleasant. I never eat them on their own or with other dry food. Usually have them with a bologna sauce

Calling them is nigh impossible. All I get is that they are busy and to call later :(

I tried the slim water ones and we're not as bad as another brand I tasted ages ago

I sent them my form after iv went on insulin about six weeks ago but have heard nothing back from dvla. Do they always come back to you one way or another???

I have been using Morrison supermarket and have to say that I do like their meat. I do try and buy free range eggs and I only get 97% sausages. I tend to be intolerant to milk and cream so I use almond milk or lactofree stuff but they are hardly ever on offer. Seem to be okay with cheese though

Take care of yourself x

I understand how it feels as well. I see my diabetes as a curse. The way I always hurt and punished myself was by binge eating. Not helpful at all. Now I have had to go on insulin and put 12lbs in 4 weeks. I know it doesn't help my depression. I blame my diabetes for not being able to be happy...
