Hi I have just answered my own question! Diabetes UK do collect used stamps as a form of fundraising. If anyone has used stamps that they would like to donate please pm me for details. Kind regards Pud x

Hi, As I am a typical tight Yorkshire lass I throw very little away (Gordon would be so proud of me). I have a huge bag of used stamps, I just wondered if anyone knows of any collections of used stamps that go purposely to benefit Diabetes charities? I have in the past donated them to other...

Thanks for your reply Lionrampant, I know I am probably worrying about nothing but you know how we parents are! I also had a lovely pm from Sam, which set my mind at rest. Kind regards Pud x

Well I'm a parent and my son (diagnosed T1 at Easter) isn't quite a teenage but he will be 12 in September. All I can tell you is that I am worried sick about him, I see his two older non diabetic cousins doing all sorts of normal teeanage stuff and I wonder how on earth he's going to be able to...

I would say, listen to your child, he/she has probably got a better grip on the situation than you realise! Kind regards Pud x

I love F1, I'm the only one in the house that does though. My cousin was Karting World Champ a few times many years ago.

I thought it was bad enough having to do Matthew's lunchtime BM in the reading corner, which is situated in the main corridor in the entrance to the school. So far he hasn't needed a lunchtime injection otherwise we would be doing that there too! I would object to injecting him in the toilets...

Hi there, Yes we have been through the mill with my sons school too, although that is a primary school. There is a post on here somewhere about it as they decided to 'exclude' him for a week. They have been a bit better this last couple of weeks but that is because Matt is in his honeymoon...

I don't know if this is common or not but my son complained for quite a while that thigs didn't taste the same. In fact for the first month all he ate was rice krispies, even they taste funny to him now. He was diagnosed at Easter and is 11. I know that is of no help to you but at least you...

Hi Young, I suspect we might be going through the same with my son. He's 11 and just have 5units of Lantus at night. We went out for a very nice meal to Frankie & Bennys and since then his sugars have been a real roller-coaster. Prior to the meal he was avering 6 but over the last two days he's...

Thanks for the advice SarahQ. Bailey has managed to learn how to sit on command, but only if he thinks we have a treat. He also gives a paw when he wants you to give him a treat and you're right, he has the most soulful eyes! We are having to watch him constantly at the minute as he wants to...

A quick update on the doggy situation, we went last week to look at a litter of labrador puppies and came home with Bailey Boo. He's a chocolate lab and is 9 weeks old today. He is soooooo naughty, we have spent all week chasing him round stopping him digging in next doors garden, eating the...

We are in Barnsley, my son (aged 11) is the diabetic one. He was born in Colchester though. We have also lived in Bergen Belsen in Germany and also in Dishforth near Ripon. Barnsley is my home town and it's lovely to be back amongst family and friends. Kind regards Pud x

I make hand-crafted cards, for which I get quite a few orders. We have just bought a new puppy (choc lab called Bailey) so I am constantly following him around at the minute to stop him chewing the curtains, the sofa, the shoes, the table, the telephone, the tv, any cables he can find, the cats...

My son prefers his ring finger or middle finger on his left hand for getting blood. He prefers to inject his Lantus into his tummy, even though the nurse has told him it works better in the legs!

My son has had this problem a few times, the week he was first diagnosed the diabetes nurse said to him, 'We usually put builders and the likes of your dad on 4 but you'll only need 2'. She then tried to prick his finger on 2, then on 2 1/2, then on 3, then on 3 1/2 then on 4 and finally got...

I've always resisted getting a dog but my son was diagnosed as diabetic just under two months ago. We went to a friends house who has a seven month old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and I fell in love with it. We are now lookinig for breeders in our area and hope to have a new doggy friend by...
