You actually 'belong' to the CCG your GP's surgery belongs to - not the one where YOU live ! There was deep confusion when I went on a pump because I live in Warwickshire so the bills were sent to Warwickshire CCG. However the GP I am with is in Coventry, therefore he belongs to - and the...

Well I didn't know it was USB !! A lot of days we don't move so I wouldn't use the engine battery - but as we have a 12v charger for the lappy I can attach the lappy to charge - then plug the thing into the lappy. Does the 360 degree software still work or have they got new ?

Re: Information re: Insurance - Help Wanted! Hee hee - always had the bank Account cover since they invented it - as you say NP with having D as long as you tell em (think they may have asked me a few Q's on control etc which is fair enough) So full of confidence, after I had my mental...

Hmmmmm - there is a school of thought that says we Diabolics are better to exercise v. strenuously/longer than 20 mins only every 48 hours rather than daily - the interval is to allow the effects to work out of the system and get you back to normal before you start again. Then you should be...

Hair Loss is a very common effect of untreated Thyroid trouble and many many peeps with Diabetes also have thyroid problems - both 'auto-immune' conditions. Treated relatively simply with tablets in most cases, although may take a little while to get exact dose sorted out. I strongly suspect...
