Is it just me or does anyone else experience high pitched, piercing, whining in their ears around meal-times/injection times. I'm T1 diabetic for nearly four years and this has just started happening. I also get massive leg-cramps (which have just woke me up) that massively frustrate me. Just...

Glad it wasn't a joke joke, because it wasn't funny funny.

I can think of better things to eat than chocolate and snacks as a diebetic. I rarely eat chocolate, maybe the odd mars bar once a fortnight or so as a treat. Fruit, though it does contain natural sugar, is so much better for you. Your employer sounds like a tosser, by the way. How come they...

You are advised not to drive afyerwards for 2 reasons : (A) your safety (B) the safety of others Why not get a taxi rather than risk harming you or others. It's a one-off and not worth chancing it in MY point of view. Imagine if you knocked over a kid, a mom with a push-chair and old person...

For a start off, re: stinky wee, try boiling the water first to leach out the chemicals or use mineral water. Alcohol also contributes to a pungent smell. Try drinking a couple of glasses of boiled water (not necessarily hot) or bottled water and see if that helps at all. I don't know your fluid...

I was also seriously ill after a major operation and was off work for 6 months exactly. There was never problem with anything to do with me regarding health issues. I know that not everyone is so fortunate though. Good luck with it.

I work on the railway and my boss let's me come in late every wednesday after anti-coag blood tests. Diabetes and hospital appointments are ok as well as and when they occur. I never leave work unfinished though and always meet my deadlines. It's all down to the individual or company that you...

Re: Arrested for drunk in charge when actually Hyperglycaemi That is why the DVLA brought in their policy to test before and during your drive.

I suffer this daily in my legs and feet. I hate it. It's like needlepricks and flies crawly over me.

Hello, my employers are aware I am type 1 diabetic and have blood clotting issues. I start about 0930-1000 where everyone else starts 0830-0900. My line manager says as long as I do the time, it doesn't matter. I have a break for however long and as often as I want. I don't see a problem if...

I dislike chocolate, yet enjoy a fag and a pint, been in Newport SW, wicked people. Salt of the earth. Chococlate you can 'ave! The fags and alcohol are for me in moderation. Be careful. ***. Love you guys, x

I love eggs and haven't been ill from them. What is Burgen? Maybe that made you ill. Did you mean burgers? You have to be very carefull with meats and proteins, if unsure leave a bit longer rather than undercook, just to be safe.

This is a crash diet, loadsa weight, short time. Just eat leass in future. I eat 3/4 of a meal and yep, a bit wasteful but it works. Please be careful.

Please don't worry. Most places in the world sell diet/zero everything. It may help others as well as you, so good post. Most spanish speaking countries have a drink with "sin", meaning without, ie:beer, coke, etc. Good luck and enjoy your break!

And keep your insulin with you if type 1. Go careful.

I find REALLY low salt levels contribute to cramps,etc. Feel free to have a go. I ate normal meals while in South Wales, me, wife and dog and did loads of walking. This was fine. No night cramps, did need a vimto after a few hours on monday though. Keep your monitor with you. All will be well.

I find this topic informative, but don't recall any hyperglycaeimic instances as funny. I'm sorry, but it is deadly serious. I nearly died on Boxing Day 3 years ago. Luckily my wife and girls are first aiders. I count myself lucky. M x
