Wow. I am so green at all this! Makes my cancer meds really boring! I find all of it a nuisance to be honest, but I can see where it would make your life a little more interesting and bearable, colours wise. Pretty much staying around 6-7 for me at the mo' and adjusting my insulin in accordance...

Ironic in what way? If you mean I was doffing my cap to you, yes ma'am, for your stamina and clear decorum for dealing with the pest all those years!

Wow! You're a pro! Bloody hell! Long term or what? I stand before giants, and to thee I offer my humility!

Jelly babies in the drawer by my armchair! Glucose tabs bedside drawer, soft liquorice and test kit in my workvan! Stand by for action-hypo in this case!!!!

Aah funny you should mention that! Army doc says the lypo could have started as far back as 1972 in Oman! 2 years of unprotected sun at 130f! Apparently met a few guys at Marsden from the same era, also army. Melanoma same time I guess! Have je!ly babies on stand to! My hylos are around 10.00...

Hahaha, thanks. lypo sarcoma in right leg, 3.5kg, which brought out the magic melanoma monster with post op radiotherapy, which infected all lymph glands on my left neck, 2 neck resection there! Type 1? Yeah, I can do it! Good to hear from you! Thank you!

Hi Karen!

Hahaha! Thanks for the info! Trying to get round small spikes after meals at the mo!(11) Difficult as my insulin dose has not been matched to my low carb normal diet, so making it up by trial and error (EOD to the core!)!

Oncology say the fact that I have a secondary auto immune illness, there is a good chance that the cancer will go into remission, and the type 1 may dissipate!

Wow! Fantastic info from all of you. Gonna reply individually though! Only good manners! Thanks!

Thanks! In a strange place at the mo. Need all the 'hellos' I can get!

Thanks. Pre meal readings down to 5.6 aftef 12 weeks so not bad I guess. Started with panic at my Oncology dept. at Royal Marsden, at 29! Transferred to Chelsea and Westminster, who were bloody marvelous! Now referred to local hospital who have been fab thus far! Thanks for your input!
