    Foot Pain

    Does anyone have any advice for pins and needles and numbness and generally uncomfortable feet? I use flexitol and foot cream, but keep getting soreness on the side of my big toe. I've changed my shoes to a wider style which has helped a little. Any advice or experiences is most welcome. It...

    Whats the most annoying thing people say about diabetes?

    I find 'politically correct' diabetics annoying. People always looking for an angle to take offence at something. Those and the 'demanding' people. I have diabetes so I'm going to be indignant and insist on being treated differently rather than get on with things and look after theirselves...

    Losing insulin in a bleed?

    This happens to most of us on occasion. The insulin is injected into body tissue directly and the blood is a reaction to the surface puncture. I wouldn't worry unduly over this as the insulin is absorbed by the tissue and eventually carried into the bloodstream. Unless it is more than a bead, I...

    How can I get my motivation back?

    START NOW! The sooner you're well balanced and healthy, the better you'll feel about yourself. I've been through this before and I find this to be true. If you don't know how your levels sit, how can you dose accurately? Accurate dosings are vital. If your sugars are too high or too low you will...

    been away for a spell...

    ...So how're you all doing? I've had a mixed time of things recently, ups and downs, highs and lows, but generally things are on the up. Thanks to those who offered me stronger support than expected on here! It really helped me through the tougher times. To the negative people too, you made me...

    the secret!

    Eating little makes your brain reserve energy and less reluctant to burn off excess fat in my opinion as your body will automatically defend itself against starvation. Eating LESS however (I find) like 3/4 of what I would usually eat is a great way to lose weight AND enjoy the meals you enjoy...

    Anyone know about alert dogs?

    Thank you Paul. Nice to see someone with a bit of humanity and compassion, instead of control freaks. I appreciate your kind remarks. Three people on here, I hope you're pleased with your vile comments, PM's are so bold and not cowardly are they. You must feel brilliant about yourselves. You...

    Anyone know about alert dogs?

    Thank you hooked. I did say I was in a black mood yesterday as I'm worried sick about my cancer-riddled wife whose had her first of 5 procedures to remove her breast and ovarian cancer. I actually acknowledged I was not weighing up the whole story at that time and had not made a balanced and...

    Am I diabetic type 2?

    I'd kill for your readings! If you are worried get it checked out though. You obviously produce insulin though and they are well within range. If your blood sugar levels DID NOT drop I'd be more concerned. I think you'll find you're ok. I have several friends who had gestational diabetes and ALL...

    Scary incident

    It all depends on what you ate and when. Having high BS levels tends to feel ok, but having them high all the time can cause organ damage. A one off is ok. If I ever have a bit too much to drink, it doesn't affect me, but I drink small amounts regularly. If you rarely drink, which is wise and I...

    I still haven't had an appointment?

    If I was concerned at all, whether I was due an appointment or not I'd contact the diabetes clinic regardless and they'd book me in within 7 days. Don't be afraid to ask, that's what we pay our taxes (for those that work) and what they get paid for. Don't suffer in silence, they'll be more than...
