In the UK how does one go about organising private blood tests and what sort of tests would be useful for diabetics? I asked my dr about the cepetitide (?) test but he said I don’t need it. I’ve also seen mentioned here by someone a privately sourced insulin resistance test. Is there any worth...

I went to the doctors yesterday and saw the diabetic nurse due to spending all night and half the day dropping into hypo territory. I wanted reassurance that now I’m not on insulin or any diabetic medication the hypos weren’t really something to worry about, or that there was something else...

Hi, I really need some help on what to eat post dental surgery in 5 days time. I’m type 2 diabetic insulin controlled, I have 2 set doses of 40 units in the am and 12 in the pm. I cannot adjust my doses as it’s signed for by care givers. I don’t cook for myself, so the menu plan will be totally...
