This new site looks great btw. I would like to delete my profile but cannot find any way to do so. Could you let me know how to do this ? Thank you

Hi The site does look great. well done. How do i delete this profile? Thanks

hmm Hale i cant but help think that you should get a second opinion from another consultant. If it was me, Id get a 2nd opinion. Ive researched diabetes for more than 10 years and I must say... im not understanding your situation and treatment. A Cpeptide test would tell you if you LADA which by...

some pharmacies do BG tests. Perhaps you should find a local pharmacy and go have a finger prick?

I personally dont think that low dose is doing anything to your blood sugars. My moto... its synthetic and if you dont need it, ditch it. Stick to Novarapid alone while thats all you need. Re LADA, Have you had a Cpeptide test?

2.5 units a day... wow. you certainly must be still producing insulin At that low dose per day....have you ever asked why youre even on it? Perhaps you should do an experiment.... Its such a low dose, have you tried going without levemir? I personally dont think 2.5 units of Levemir over a 24...

Oh dear cath.... sorry to hear. Hope your diagnosis is settling down. Its a huge thing to deal with and certainly life changing. All your friends symptoms were the same as mine when I was diagnosed. Test his blood first thing in the morning before food. If its over 7, Id say he need to get...

Hi Hale Hope you are feeling better today. A bad hypo always makes me feel rough for a good 12 hours. When I was on MDI - Levemir, I often had similar hypos to what you had last night. I also found that my hypos were very severe and it took a while for my BG to rise. I'd end up over treating...

This is from running high blood sugars. My vision went blurry from time to time and I ran higher than I should. In hindsight..... I should not have allowed this. i went for a retinal screen and to my horror I was diagnosed with maculopathy. Maculopathy is not reversible and if I did not get my...

and its easy to block these rude people.. i dont see any of their replies so its all good

Mezzy I see your HBA1C is 6 so that means you rarely run high. If you were running high, Id say that was the reason youre not putting on weight. To build muscle, you need to be eating protein. Carbs are more for energy. Are you drinking a good protein shake? Basically you should be consuming 2...

some people like to knit pick and scrutinise. It seems that they on these forums to do only that. I made my point clear. i stick to it. No further knit picking will change my mind. Mo1905...dont take notice anymore because these knit pickers will keep on. Youve been really great and...

hornplayer... surely thats my choice if I want to skip certain posts on any topics that I may have posted.

Chelsea and westminster carried out a study of pricing between tubed pumps and the Omnipod. There was only £100 difference in price between the two. The initial outlay is higher for a tubed pump but in overall comparison the Omnipod was only £100 more. Then if you look at the advantages of the...

Brett.. Im glad that these misunderstandings are happening right before our very eyes in this thread as it shows how easily mistakes are made and it shows how diverse diabetes and treatment is. i really do believe there is a need for this ready available identifiable information. M01905 - thank...

by annepgill 'Sw11bloke not true I'm type 2 and get exactly the same prescription as my type 1 brother so I think some of the replies on this thread are a little biased I can see a lot of ppl leaving this forum because of a few narrow minded on it ' Annepgill This is it. Not all T2 get free...

sure... but that gives me the choice whether to read the thread or skip to the next

To make myself (the OP) clear...especially to the likes of Andy1234, I have said a few times that Im not looking to segregate. I am asking for a system that can easily recognise who is posting a reply. A system that would quickly ID whether its a t1, t2, t1.5 and whether they on MDI or a pump...

thats exactly it ewelina, you advised wrongly without realising it was a type 2. Easily done and happened to me and Ive been wrongly advised. A quick reference to see if the person is a type 1 or type 2 on every posting would be helpfull to all. :) :) :)
