Interesting comments there - all very useful. Thank you all of you. It sounds like a bridge is the way to go ! I'll ask the Croatian dentist what he thinks of that - mind you, if he's an implant specialist he may be snooty to that idea ( not as much money in it for him !) .... or of course...

Grantg, A bridge ? - that's interesting, I'll ask my dentist about that option thank you. (I just left her this am after a clean - I should have checked this forum and I'd have asked her about it this am ) Lupf- yes I will tred carefully if I go to foreign lands and I'll look into UK prices...

Thanks - I'll avoid Lidls new improved flavor creamy version _ I found it tasted sickly sweet. I'll look out for Co ops and Aldi thanks guys ! Shoran

Ah ! Thanks

Ruined what I hear you say ? Coleslaw ! I love the stuff and eat heaps of it with salads. I used to buy Lidl's as it had a proper plastic hard lid on it ( not like the useless flimsy - peel off lids ) and it tasted just great..... until I noticed very recently a some Lidl bough slaw had a funny...

Thanks Elena, Ush, and Antje My own dentist - she's been great, I don't think she'd be doing the implants herself though.( I'll ask next time I go in , though shes on maternity leave ) Mind you I think she loves inflicting pain - when I've had have a good cleaning session ! ( plenty of...

Fantastic info Nicola. Yes I am tempted to see how dentures go - they may look ok , may feel ok. If not great I could go about getting some implants ..... ( it's this bone grafting and all that that kind of puts me off... plus of course the exorbitant cost ) Thanks, Shoran.

Hello If any of you have had dentistry work involving bone grafting, tissue grafting and finally implants. Could you share any tips and what to expect - I'd really apprecate it. I am a T1. My my crowned front tooth is falling out due to bone disease /periodontitis. I have been advised...

Hello, No nothing different at all, though I did run around Hyde park a few times which I've never done before . Just kidding. I had my covid jab ages ago probably 6 weeks or more now. Not sure this would have anything in my case to do with my new hypo's I maybe getting less hypo-ish now...

I knew I was getting the formula wrong. Fancy forgetting the colour of the socks ! Interesting what you say about basal etc. Infact i printed ogf an amarical insulin calclation sheet guidance.I need to study it. I should probably perhaps try ( with consultant guidance ) quite a specific...

Wow Antje , So suddenly your basal needs dropped - was it a one off ? ( were you ill ? ) Has you basal need remained less ever since this mysterious change or has it gone up and back to what you used to take ? You did say in your previous posting: "In my case, I was diagnosed 8 years ago...

update; I did a covid test yeterday ( a new one , just bought from the chemist ) came up NEGATIVE. So throughout the day I was keeping a specially keen eye not to head toward hypo - land. I was ok . I went to bed slightly high ( 12mmol/L ) and usually I'd give myself a correction jab for...

Lynnzhealth, Hello, Have you spoken to a diabetic nurse / consultant who knows what are talking about ? ( you must have ? ) Being a T1 . I assume you have two types of insulin to take ? 1)A fast acting insulin - you take just before each of your meals ( called the bolus ) usually at a...

Hi Antje and Dches, Thank you for reading and trying to help out. I appreciate it very much. When I had the hypo in the middle of the night ( 4 am ) I was ok by waking up time as I'd turned the hypo around by drinking a sweet drink and eating a bit of toast with marmalade . The next hypo I...

Hi there Hopeful, That's the thing - for quite some time ( about a month) I seem to have got the night time basal unit amount about correct - by morning my fasting level is usually anything between 7-10 mmol/L Like I mentioned it's taken some time and a few visits to the diabetes nurse and...

Jo, Interesting thank you. Levels dropping like a stone when you had Covid. I do have some test kits Ill havce a go ! By your hypothesis ( no pun intended ) it's possible when "ill" to have your levels fall rather than rise .... Perfectly rational / possibly valid in my case ? Thank you...

Hi Jo, Thanks for your input - much appreciated. Yes, I did check with a finger prick and I was still deemed low . I suspect that maybe I should perhaps increase my carb intake slightly, reduce the correction ratio for my fast acting insulin : post meal corrections necessary before I go...

When I used to be T2 I was always mindful of sugars / carbs and tried to eat less of this on the basis that I was attempting to maintain my sugar levels through "sensible" eating and medicine ( no insulin ) Try and read up as much as you can about food and what is likely to spike you - avoid...

Hello fellow diabetics... Have any of you got some ideas what could be happening with me ? I'm starting to get hypos when I shouldn't as far as I can tell. It's a bit strange . These are happening either in the middle of the night like 4 am, or first thing when I am about to wake up between...
