    Freestyle Libre 2 to become real time continuous glucose monitor in UK from mid July 2023

    Is Shuggah available in the UK? Feels like making Libre a CGM is a huge step forwards but please put the flippin number on my screen or watch!

    Sorry it's another Freestyle Libre thread

    Well as the big 4-0 approaches and my diabetes celebrates its 18th Birthday, I am pretty determined to take the plunge. I suffer from Neuropathy so am having immense problems with my feet and every attempt to lower my HBA1c is resulting in many dangerous lows (including thinking the Christmas...

    A REAL Cure for Diabetes

    Viv - of course T1's can reduce their insulin intake, but we also could by drinking whiskey to excess, not sure that's advisable either. The point is that it is by no means a cure! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

    Theresa May and her "shocking disease"

    Re: Theresa May and her "shocking disease" I'm suggesting money helps, she is unlikely to be treated poorly at work etc. unlikely to not receive adequate test strips et al. She may turn out to represent us well, not at all or badly! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

    August.............talk about

    I've never actually tried an audio book, I did (ahem) borrow a few pdf books for my ipad but it felt like cheating on paper - couldn't quite get on with them. RRB - can we make that shop in a little Derbyshire village next door to a traditional bakers with a pub with ale and a log fire...

    August.............talk about

    Andy, I'm not suggesting that everyone must read. The mind is a funny thing, I can remember that The house of the rising sun was number one in 1964 but struggle to remember my own age. Weird! Its just that so many books are better than the films, all the Hannibal Lecter offerings for a start...

    Theresa May and her "shocking disease"

    Re: Theresa May and her "shocking disease" RRB, I was simply highlighting a potential problem, obviously I wish Ms May no ill. However, we've already seen the meeja mis-interpret her words and start with a misleading headline. I fear that those in a priviliged position can make conditions...

    August.............talk about

    Andy, it might seem a silly suggestion but try reading 3 or 4 pages and then seeing what you remember. My eldest son has autism and many people see many of his traits in me, as a youngster I used to read a book a day and barely remember a page as I was reading. Several days later I could...

    Sugars rising during day when I'm not eating

    Re: Sugars rising during day when I'm not eating Either that or slightly higer at meal times to prevent going high 4+ hours later - it may also be that you're eating too many complex carbs that are taking a long time to impact your sugars... Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

    Theresa May and her "shocking disease"

    Re: Theresa May and her "shocking disease" Sabantha, nobody is questioning how she spends her money or whether the common man would like to be able to afford better care. However, her position of influence and wealth has the possibility of her peddling the wrong message. We await stories of...

    New friend said I was always playing the Victim!

    I think the problem here is that females and the word friendship don't mix. Blokes go out, have a beer, perhaps do some diy, and that's it. Women compete, have an agenda, get all emotional. I try not to get involved with my wifes friends, they're all a disaster zone... Sent from the Diabetes...

    A REAL Cure for Diabetes

    So the conclusion to your 'experiment' is that you cannot keep to a juicing routine and when you did it merely lowered insulin intake rather than cured diabetes. Interesting! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

    That voice in your head...

    I came across a statement I made a few years ago about having diabetes: "I have diabetes. It doesn't necessarily define me as a person, just negates me putting too much away for my retirement. It has though put a little person in my head that stops me living life with the gay abandon of a...
