Ha ha you are as cynical as me. I figured she would have her health needs covered in her "employment contract" along with the best diabetes physician available 24-7 to ensure she is well cared for and her chef will provide thenecessary meals...... Now I sound bitter but honestly I am not, just...

Hello, As our new P.M. Is an insulin dependant diabetic ( as am I for the last 50 years ) I wonder if it will be easier to obtain more strips to do necessary blood sugar tests considering our P.M. does at least 4 tests per day and has 4 injections. I have been TOLD one test per week is...

Hello, I have also been told that type 1 is lifestyle disease - I have been type 1 for 50 years and it certainly wasn't life style which brought it on. Also heard genes are to blame! Not relevant in my case except my brother who also had it. I hate it, mornings are usually the worst for...

Hello, I totally agree with your comments. I was told by a 12 year old (sorry, recently qualified doc ) at local hospital. Test ONCE a week, and perhaps leave insulin off altogether!!!!!!!! After 47 years on insulin and confirmation my pancreas produces no insulin if anything at all. I...

Re: Have you ever had mental health issues related to diabet I have been a type 1 diabetic for over 46 years. Syringes, insulins etc are far better now than ever. When I was diagnosed I was given no information whatsoever I found out myself from medical books which gave all horrible side...

I have been Type 1 for 46 years. I have had periods of depression on and off the entire time. It is only in recent years that depression inDiabetics has been recognised. I am going through an horrific time with depression at the moment. I live in Spain and support is virtually non existent...
