im not sure, I have asked doctors this, and never get a direct answer! I wonder if it is an immune type of situation, I have read articles on his being common with type 2. yes when I first noticed it, it was because of highs, ive kinda combated that with either less food, or more insulin, which...

its my understsnding that all questions on aplication forms have to be answered honestly, failure to do so can be used to sack someone. since most aplications have medical questions it would be considered a lie to fail to disclose Sent from my GT-I9300 using DCUK Forum mobile app

Re: How would you handle this? Work colleagues taking the mi I agree with the above, its down to ignorance and a complete lack of understanding! im a bit of rebel me, use to be terrible as a younger lad, yet now im 38 its just part of who I am. So id guess id do one of two things- quitely...

that to is an option, yet does have a pitfall. if an employer finds out youve failed to disclose this, its grounds for instant dismisal .. guess theres no great way to handle it. damned if you do, damned if you don't. Sent from my GT-I9300 using DCUK Forum mobile app

this sounds like discrimination to me, and illegal. The sad thing is ...if you pursued it im sure the employer would say it wasnt down to diabetes. I have experienced this myself in the past. I have to say these days whenever im attending anything where my health condition might be questioned...

I agree with whats been said! they'll only refuse if you have serious complications. I had issues with my eyes for a while, all they wanted at that time was the eye clinics details which I provided. the eye clinic confirmed I was attending and my treatment at the time. they still gave me my...

I cant - this information was given to me by Dr Price, who was head of diabetes at great almond street hospital during the late 80s early 90s. he may well still be there, yet its been a kong time since I last visit that particular clinic. im sure any doctor will confirm that your body stores...

hi, the DVLA will want to speak to your doctors before issuing you with a license. my advice would be to go see your GP and ask them to make the appointments youll need, I.e have blood tested, have your eyes checked. And maybe give you advice on how to manage your diabetes yourself. Sent from...

the information is correct, it was given to me in my teen years by one of the countrys top diabetic specialist! Sent from my GT-I9300 using DCUK Forum mobile app

it is so yes 100% fact! why do people who have constant high BS lose weight? because the body burns off fat looking for insulin. yes insulin is dedigned to do what you suggest, yet unused insulin, or insulin thats been in your blood stream forvto long is stored in fat cell's. feel free to ask...

lol thanks.....think im off out to buy myself a zimmerframe as im so old :-0 all good points, I really dont think a pump is for me thought. ..I rock and roll in my sleep and id feel like terminator with something strapped to my arm lol Sent from my GT-I9300 using DCUK Forum mobile app

more insulin is one way, yet exercise is also important and beneficial. the reasons for this are- your body stores insulin in body fat, so if you exercise youll burn off fat and release insulin (dont think its much) yet the cobination of exercise and that little extra insulin thats release will...

Hi Vick. Sorry im not a similar age to you know. I got diabetes when I was 5, I found it very difficult as a child. I went through a 4 year stage of not taking my insulin and constantly living in hospital because of it. I caused no end of issues in my family, and had an aweful relationship...

hey, I did some research on the pump myself a while ago. I have to admit the medical benefits seem good, I just didnt like the idea of having a needle in my body all the time. I know it would annoy me lol. Not sure if this would help either, as if I am becoming immune to insulin (which is common...

hi J, I too went threw this a few year's ago! firstly is your insulin one of the mixed range, or is it fast acting only? I found when on the mixed I was never getting enough of the fast in the mix so was ending up with high BS. Changing insulin helped solve it in part. secondly have you tried...

hi all, im 38 and have gad type 1 since I was 5. in the last three or four years I have been noticing that insulin injections dont seem to be working like they use to. Its kind of like my body is becoming immune to insulin, it just doesnt seem to do what it should anymore. Anyone else...
