Many thanks for all the comments really helpful Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Today I met with my Consultant for a check-up, he was generally happy with how I monitor, my type 2 Diabetes, but was concerned my HbA1c, which two visits ago was acceptable, but had gone up, to 10.1. This I believe is down to stress, as my wife is recovering from Cancer. What was strange was...

Been on Byetta injections for about 2yrs now, and generally consultant has been very happy with 4 x month reviews, however during March discovered my Byetta Pen was not working properly regarding doseage amount. At recent blood test instead of my Hb1ac being down had gone up to 87% yet nothing...

Dear All Not sure where to Post this comment however In my opinion the Diabetic Community need to be aware so here goes:- Was watching QVC Shopping Channel a few nights ago when they brought on a product called Prue Pedi, which was to exfoliate & remove hard skin from yr feet, this was an acid...

Hi Folks - Just picked up the end of a News Broadcast this afternoon from some Professor who thinks people who are Type 2 Diabetic are the cause of their own problem due to being Porky in other words overweight. A specialist from Diabetes UK responded & was most annoyed and advised that...

Diabetes UK have published an article as above in todays Scottish Daily Record page 14 they give figures for numbers with Type 1 & Type 2 Diabetes & cost to NHS - Number of Deaths etc & how they have teamed up with Tesco to raise £10 million to tackle the disease & raise public awarness...

I go roughly every 3 weeks to see my Health Care Nurse as I am on Byetta Injections - to cut a long story short its become a real bind this diabetic thing & one visit all is ok local testing is with in the guidelines & next week its out of sorts, nurse says its to do with my pancreas & when I...

I have been on Byetta Injections twice daily for 2yrs now, and although I manage fairly well with a very fine needle, I hate needles, however my main issue is how injections take over control of your life as I have to take an injection every morning 1hr before food due to a regurgation issue I...

I have now been Type 2 Diabetic since 2007 & because about 2yrs ago it was discovered that I had only one & half kidneys & signs of Renal Failure stage 3 many of the standard Diabetic Medications were taken off me as they caused problems with the Kidneys, to that end my main medication is...

Well, I am a bit rusty on Health & Safety Regulations, however I beleive that "Duty of Care" comes into this one, especially if your employer knows you are Diabetic. Perhaps apart from anything else you may want to refer to cases handled by the Ambulance Service Emergency Biker TV Programme, the...

What can I say but well done, however I am confused with all what Dtrs/Consultants/Healhtcare staff want. I am Type 2 Diabetic, and last week was at GP Practice to see Diabetic Nurse, who took my Full Bloods for Testing along with my routine check-up on other Medications/BG etc. She was a bit...

Not sure if this info is any use to you, I spoke to consultant at last visit, as I use Byetta Twice per Day and thought Bydureon would be easier, he felt it was to new although licensed for use in UK, was not user friendly, and in my case I have stage 3 Renal Failure, and as I understand License...

Diabetic Neuropathy It appears as a Diabetic (Type2) this is one of those things you have to live with, although it can be very painful at times. Since being diagnosed back in 2007 the posiatrist having carried out all the sensitivity tests declared I was a moderate risk with good pulses...

I have type 2 Diabetes, and the whole HbA1c thing does my head in, as despite using a tracking system on my tablet computer which shows an average of 6.5% having calculated my daily blood tests to obtain same, when I visited the consultant I am told not to worry with readings of...

I have had type 2 diabetes since Nov.2007 and had a very sweetooth and infact still do. However I had to give up things like sugar and tried various sweetners without success. As I cannot take coffee without sugar and I now use "Slender" 100grms £3.45 and usually last about 2 wks - also keep...
