There is no way yet another stealth tax is required. The answer always seems to be charge the public more! Green tax being a great example! Why do they always want to charge us more, all this does is line the pockets of someone else and we all still buy the stuff! ENOUGH! Educate people!

Been through this myself, readings off the scale for a month, lost 21kg in 5 weeks! In turn it must have been high keytones that caused the massive weight loss. Very very frightening indeed. Then suddenly stopped and blood sugar dropped fast! I put it down to a trapped stone as was in massive...

Use Cinnamon pills

I took photos on an 8 mega pix camera, clear as day they are faulty. They refuse to pay the return postage to Northern Ireland so not worth my time returning them. Distance selling laws STATE they must pay for the return postage on sub standard or damaged items. Stay well clear of...

I will pop by next week and see if I can get some. Many thanks :)

Flight socks will not work for me due to the fluid retention. I need non elastic style :(

1. they state they are diabetic, which is rubbish 2. they fall to bits and I can't get a refund 3. They play on the diabetic side to get your money The other problem I have is fluid retention so even socks that have no elstic etc cause huge pressure marks in my legs, sometimes very unsightly...

I recently bought 3 pairs of these http://www.sockshop.co.uk/products/mens ... index.html all be it on ebay. After 1 wash the tops all unravelled and fell to bits ON ALL 3 PAIRS! Needless to say the seller won't refund etc.. It's bad enough having diabetes but being ripped off because I have...

I would say firstly you have to accept he has one awful illness for a youngster, he has to accept and live with that. I can only imagine the feeling of facing a life ahead with type 1 :( I am now 45 with type 2 and it has devastated me, I feel like I am at the end of my life and dying. I can...

GUys for a start off, I want to thank everyone who has had input into this thread and my newly arrived thread. If I hadn't spoken to you guys I would still be piling in carbs and almost certainly be on Gliclizide, metformin and sitigliptin! As it is gliclizide has been kicked into touch and a...

Ok when I joined the forum I never realised carbs were so bad, since cutting a lot out my levels of high sugar have significantly dropped, so big thanks to all concerned. On another side, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU EAT?!?!?!? I get told stick down proteins and meats then read this: QUOTE Hold the...

woops, sorry, I got that wrong, it was 5.2 ;)

Just tried it again today, half the birthday cake left, gobbled down a good portion, more than would be normal, measured my blood sugar 2.5 hours after .... 5.3!?!?! :crazy:

It's a funny old game as you come to terms with blood sugar control. I have had nearly 2 weeks now and it is amazingh just how differently your blood sugar varies. For example, tonight was my daughters 8th birthday party. I had a Chinese meal, with rice, chips, birthday cak, 2 slices, finished...

2.5 hours on after these gripping pains and my blood is now 10.1. I did 2 tests in different hands the other was 13.1!!!

WOW, gripping chest pains again tonight. Some of the most painful I have had. Measured my blood sugar as they started 6.9, measured them again an hour later, 8.3!

After yesterdays huge hike today decided to try again as my sugars are staying a bit high anyway. Yesterday 1 toast 1 egg and 2 bacon. Egg fried in butter and toast smothered in butter. 6.4 raised to 10.4 Today, 1 toast, 2 egg, 3 bacon fried in olive oil and toast smothered in butter. 8.7...

Well I have a feeling I may have to look at more meds anyway as I can't get my readings down below 8 now the gliclizide has been stopped :(

what also amazed me is she was going on about how being over weight causes diabetes? I read that that is a lot of rubbish, especially if you have a history in the family?

:lol: I got a roasting at the hospital by the doctor today for omitting carbs! She was furious as says I MUST take carbs and use medication to level it. I have now been told I have to monitor my keytones as well and was given a new meter :(
