Hi, I started taking insulin injection in September 2012 and I was terrified. I put it off for so long, that I actually let my diabetes get worse. My GP talked me through the Humulin3 injection, and let me try it out in the surgery on a simulated arm. I wasn't sure that I was doing it right...

Hi, I recently heard about Kashi sugarfree products from USA. Does anyone know anything about them & where in the UK they can be bought?

Hi I'm T2 also on M3 30/70 Lilly Pen my GP told me to cut my 2 a day glicazide to 0.5 twice a day. I too started on 10u then 12 & now 14. My BG averages 5-6. Speak to your GP & ask if going back on reduced Glicazide might help. I'm also still on Metformin (1000 three times a day). Are you on any...

I will light a candle and say a special prayer for Jakub & his family. May you all receive God's blessings for health, happiness, peace & love now & always. Please keep us informed. Sending much love to you all.

Can anyone help? T2 on Humulin3 Mix + Metformin + Glicazide + Januvia. Currently well controlled except for early morning/fasting reading. Example - 4.9 at 11.30pm last night & insulin at 9.30am this morning with reading of 8.4 fasting. Doesn't make sense!!!

I read somewhere that fresh Cherries are good for diabetics. Anyone know if that's true?

Thank you both for your advice. I'm sorry it triggered some bad feelings. Please don't let this stop you from posting again. All advice is gratefully received & opinions will always vary. I would hate to think that my original posting has caused a rift.

Hi, yes it was the roularde - this is it. Thanks must try it. Love meringues but haven't had it in 8 years. Thanks again. Rachel (Sassco)

Hi all - T2 on Humulin3 + Metformin + Glicazide + Januvia. BG before lunch today was 6.2 yet 2 hours after lunch of sausage boiled egg & salad BG was 4.3 !!!! Isn't it suppose to rise? Don't get me wrong the numbers are great but I'm very confused.

Hi some time ago I saw a recipe on here for sugar free meringues with nuts. I tried to find it again to copy it & have no idea where I saw it. Can anyone help? Desperate!!!

Hi sorry you didn't get a response earlier, but I'm T2 & I'm on Humulin 3 Insulin with Metformin (6x500 a day) also Glicazide (1x a day) & Januvia (1x a day. I've been on insulin for 6 weeks now & have not had the warmth you're describing. Are you storing your insulin as directed? With mine...

Thank you so much Phoenix I've downloaded both form DIAB1 & the Guide & will read through tomorrow. You've been a great help.

Hi Phoenix I drive a car & I've been driving on an auto license for over 30 years. The hypo I had was over 5 years ago (on tablets only). I was diagnosed with beginnings of Retinopathy in Jan 2012 but a recent follow up examination showed improvement (which I have in writing). The form I've...

Thanks Hana I've been using the sugar free range of remedies for 8 years now whilst on tablets (without any probs) just wondered if it was going to be a prob now that I'm on insulin.

Anyone offer advice on what cold remedies I can take whilst on insulin (mixed) My BG went from 5.2 to 11.0 after taking Lemsip. Won't be taking that again. Feel lousy & any remedies would we welcome.

Thanks Ann I know that makes sense. I just feel like I'm being punished for being on Insulin.

Just downloaded the DVLA form for completion & OMG can't believe how intrusive it is. If completed correctly I may have my license suspended. I've got to get reports from my GP, my hospital consultant, my Optician AND possibly undergo a medical by a DVLA nominated GP. I'll probably also incur...

Welcome Mattpink looking forward to your recipes. Good luck with your new lifestyle.

Thanks Noblehead I was really beginning to think I was going OTT with the testing. I can stop worrying.

Thanks for the info & links I will certainly follow up on this.
