Hi there, I work as a nursery nurse in the private sector and although I do not have experience of looking after a child with diabetes I do know that my nursery buy in gloves for uses such as nappy changing, cleaning, first aid etc. I would hope that any other nursery would be the same. In the...

This sounds silly but always thought that I should avoid Malibu because it is so sweet! However when I looked online it seems that there are 0g of sugar per serving and around 5g carbs for a serving. Does this mean that a few malibus with a diet mixer will not affect blood sugars badly? I'm...

You have that right and its the doctor and nurse's job to help you along the way. This might not be very...

I get that feeling too after a high carb meal and blood sugars usually reflect how I feel (nausea usually means they are high). Going for a walk even just about the house and drinking water seems to help make that horrible nauseous feeling go away :-) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
