Thank you very much. I am going to buy the Frio wallet straight away. I have the letter, my diabetic nurse is fantastic and issued it straight away when I mentioned we were going on holiday. going

I have been re-diagnosed as a Type 1 diabetic and am going to travel by plane first time with my insulin. I am wondering whether to purchase a cooling pack to keep my new pre-filled pen cool. Will I be able to carry it through the security if it contains coolling ice pack/gel? Have you got any...

Hello.Sorry if this is a repeated thread and and for a long post. I have been TYPE 2 diabetic for over 3.5 years and was managing it by diet and exercise. I was very successful and my HbA1C were always good (5.9-6.3) The nurse always told me my results were "inspirational."I lost 4.5 stones in...

I have this tea at home, but find them a bit too heavy on vanilla and chocolate doesn't come through enough for me. I had some pretty good chocolate teas in the past, but don't remember the brands, silly me!

I used to wear heels all the time. For the last nearly two years I have nearly lived in my Nike Trail running shoes. They are light, water resistant and provide a lot of soft cushioning. They were even substantial enough for winter. I wear them with my skirts and dresses to work (I change to...

I just came home from a NHS course four type 2 and got quite angry. I have been diagnosed 5 months ago and did a lot of reading. I managed to reduce my hba1c down to 43 (from68) thanks to the great advice on this forum. I stopped eating pasta, potatoes, rice, have 2 slices of bread a week and a...

Well done! I am sure it made your day.

Well done! I am sure it made your day.

Thanks a lot, will make more crackers in the afternoon.

I made crackers using golden linseed. The packet I bought in Tesco states that it contains 1.6 grams of carbs per 100 g. I went to get the same product in Asda on the way home and found out that the same packet shows around 20 g of carbs (don't remember the exact number). Does anyone know where...

Thanks guys. I do walk uphill to work 30 mins every morning. When I said to "delay medication" - well, my GP tells me during every visit that my results are great, but I need to be prepared that I will not be able to control my diabetes with diet forever. And yeah, I have stopped to test in the...

My overall sugar control is quite good, Hba1c is down to 6.1 in December from 8.4 in August, Lost 3 stones in that time and feeling fine. However, my fasting sugar (before 6am when I am getting up) is usually high, around 6.8- 7.5, occasionally 8. This usually lowers to around 5.8 -6.3 by 10am...

I am lucky to work regular hours and my local leisure centre stays open until 10-10.15 pm. I walk to and from work 25 min. each day (uphill in the morning) and swim 4 times a week (around 240-320 length of 25 metre pool a week). I am not on medication and my doctor checks my sugar every 3 month...

Hi guys, sorry if I am repeating the post. I am T2 controlling my diabetes by diet and exercise. I measure my blood sugar min 4 times a day (obsessively, according to my husband). My GP is very keen to put me on medication and when I was diagnosed he gave me 3 month to sort my hba1c. The one at...

After I had mine I had higher temperature for a few days, my sugar went much higher than usually. Now 2 weeks later I got a proper flu. Funny thing is it's the first time in 8 years and I never had the jab before.

I have been sleeping in socks for years, long before I was diagnosed. I have a very loose ones, so they sometimes come off at night. I have always had cold feet, hands and nose. Back in my country (Slovakia) we have a saying - 'cold feet, hot heart'. :D

I am managing T2 diabetes through diet and exercise. One of the first thing my diabetic nurse told me during the first session was that I do not need DIABETIC products. My diet has changed rapidly. I still crave sweet things occasionally (it's been 6 weeks only) but I usually have fruit and...
