    GLUCOMEN TEST STRIPS BEING RECALLED

    That is so bad. They've known about it since last November apparently? Even on their facebook page they seem to have nothing to say about it. Very irresponsible.

    Remember to take meds

    I've got an app on my phone called Dosecast which I've set to remind me 4x per day. It's the free version, I haven't felt a need to pay to upgrade it. Alternatively I could just schedule different alarms on my phone. Just an idea, I'm not assuming that every one has a phone these days :?

    Glucomen LX plus and GP supplies (or not)

    Hi Jeff, I have the same meter and have no problems with repeat prescriptions for the supplies. I'm not sure if the computer system differs around the UK but my GP didn't seem to have any problems locating the supplies at the time. Now I just go to the chemist to pick them up, as and when I need.

    Breakfast and Snack suggestions?

    My dietician gave me a list of snacks that generally don't have to be matched with insulin. I guess DUK should be credited with this. I've become quite partial to Bombay Mix these days :mrgreen:

    Glucomen are giving meters away

    My doc prescribes me with strips for my Lx Plus. I get 200 per time which is 4 little plastic container things. Plus tons of lancets, - perhaps I'm one of the lucky ones in the postcode lottery. My pc cable took 2 or 3 days to arrive from Glucomen. I can't get it to work though, but I'll try it...

    Glucomen website

    Re: Glucomen website So glad that I saw this thread because I thought it was my pc playing up. I spent an hour clearing my cache, updating my java and checking my firewall, etc. D'oh! Talking of Glucomen, I love my Lx Plus. I requested a data cable to download my readings on my pc, but I'm...

    Coffee or tea for a person with diabetes?

    Coffee for me please. I have about 5 cups per day. I drink about 2 cups of tea per year and that's usually because a friend has made it for me by mistake. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

    Progression from diagnosis to insulin? How long?

    I was diagnosed as type 2 back in March of this year. Two months later when my first appointment to see my diabetes clinic occured I was re-diagnosed as type 1. I was immediately put onto insulin 4x per day and am in the process of getting the balance right to find the correct levels for me...

    Hello

    I was diagnosed as Type II on 06th March this year when I was admitted to hospital for a completely unrelated matter. It's not a huge shock to me because my mum and one of my sisters also have diabetes. Nice to meet you :smile: Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
