Brilliant result Ick23, I have to wait to 22 Oct for my results. The docs wont let the receptionists tell you. I can only hope they are good. Usually get asked for an early appt if the BS are haywire.

LOL, just the pick-me-up I needed everyone, thanks. I had forgotten all about the MoserRoth choc, will have to get some. I am more worried about what the increased milk intake is doing to my BS levels, I have a clinic visit 22 October. I am afraid the gluttony and the vomitting is playing...

Well, I have a very good reason for this. I have been diagnosed with fairly low grade breast cancer and undergone a mastectomy in August. Now I need to keep up calcium content as well as try to follow Slimming World guidelines on foods. I admit to going off the rails, if I crave chocolate I...

Getting by on multiple fronts, diabetes is not the main priority at the moment.

Hope you dont mind if I share this one on Twitter, it really is good. Adding my thoughts here on your scare, keep recovering. Life sure throws some wobblies at us.

Re: Book recommendations / what are you reading Barricades by C A Shilton, if you like Les Miserables you will love this story of Javert. Currently only available for Kindle but will be in print before long I hope. Like prehistorical fiction? stories of something totally different mystical...

Three months ago I was but on a whole load of new meds (gliclazide plus metformin and new cholesterol tabs) following a rather disasterous blood reading of 11.5. Today I timidly asked for the results of the test taken Christmas Eve. 7.3! and my cholesterol 3.8! There was a message on the...

Naughty, naughty, lol, but I LIKE that one. Put the grin back into a fast closing afternoon.

Yes, i am dental phobic. Been last week as missing filling forced me. Half an hour of torture! Now that wasnt so bad, was it? I was asked ..... think I did well not turning the air blue. I was still shaking. Next visit? When I cant stand the toothache any more and not a minute before...

Please let us know if you find an answer. I suffer from this myself (so I've ascertained from problems at work, now since retired). GPs could find nothing and husband has no sense of smell so Im left in the dark. All I can do is ensure my hygiene is as perfect as possible and use deodorants...

Thanks to all here who have helped my ramblings this past year. Here's to a better 2011. Merry Christmas and Peaceful New Year to all. With love, Susan :D 8)

hi, just my tuppence halfpence worth - ALL diabetic sweets and chocolates make me run for the loo (and not just the once!) - even after only one or two bites/pieces. You would be better off having small portions of really good dark chocolate and 'treats' of sweets if you have to - not too...

hi LittleV, have felt this way myself for longer than I care to admit. My 'control' is haphazzard to say the least and I know I need the proverbial kick up the pants - but have no motivation/interest. Life has been a bore and down due to various reasons for the past year but wont go into that...

hi all again, in process of trying several suggestions. Thanks to you all. Unfortunately now out of job - NOT because of this hasten to say - I have been in several positions since last Feb and a year later nothing else suitable so taken redundancy. This has quashed one of my anxieties, am...

THANKS TO YOU ALL FOLKS, you have cheered me up. I think anyway. I have seen GP, who has advised spraying 2-4 times daily plus a mouthwash (as I have had tooth infection and recent extraction). Nothing more than Im already doing but a heck of a lot more frequently! We have discovered a...

hi Northener from another this is THE best sight for info and support, welcome. Sue

Thanks folks ..... No, dont smoke and try to keep to basic healthy diet. Odd curries are for weekends! This is HR dept Im talking about saying they have had complaints from the last paces I have been at - last one for only a month! They are very reluctant to place me elsewhere due to this...

Firstly, hope nobody on here can identify me! Secondly, is this a diabetic issue? I am currenty in process of losing employment due to hygiene issues. This has been brought up on two/three ocasions in separate posts, so must be an issue although I cant see myself as Ive been portrayed. Im...

Am I alone in just this week requesting strips and lancets along with other meds no questions asked and all given?! Im T2 and on metformin and statins feel like I rattle at times but need reassurance of testing twice a week to check BEFORE problems arise. This DESMOND sounds a load of...

YEP Sugarless Sue - exactly. I had nasty hospital experience as toddler and HATE white coats!!! LOL, it usually takes 3/4 attempts to get BP down to 'acceptable' - how on earth they think keeping checking time after time deep breathing etc notwithstanding is going to work!!!! Will try and go...
