I'm so excited! I have turned my diabetes around through exercise. I wrote an amusing, light hearted book about my journey and it has been published today. 99p on amazon for anyone who fancies a read! I hope this is allowed mods!

Hi all, Linking to the Hot Weather thread on General discussion, I have a question. This recent spell of hot weather has resulted in me having a few hypos. I have found that afterwards I have no energy, my muscles feel sore and I feel nauseous for a good 24 hours afterwards. Has anyone...

At the moment I have a stinking cold. Sore throat, runny nose, congestion, headache etc etc Everything I have read says that my blood sugars are likely to go up whilst I'm fighting the infection. However, whilst I am having higher than normal morning readings, I'm finding that my ad hoc...
