No, Amazon US will not ship food items to UK.

Does anyone know where in the UK I can buy the Extend brand of diabetic snack bars. I tried these in the USA and brought some home, they were fantastic in having little if any effect on my blood sugar level. Walmart has a whole shelf dedicated to diabetic foods/snacks, unfortunately not so here...

I will get the full lipid when I go for checks. Really just looking for a home monitor to see that I'm still on the rails.

Is there a good combined cholesterol HDL & LDL and blood sugar analyser/monitor available within a reasonable budget, or is it better to have individual monitors. I am Type 2 diabetic.

I am Type 2 diabetic and went for my annual medical check some months ago. The practice nurse was so pleased with my blood results, she couldn't believe them. I had to get another blood test for all the usuals and go back for the results. Again, the results were the same and nurse was well...

Had my feet checked shortly after being diagnosed. This was only to check sensation in feet, and checked OK.

I have been looking for a toe nail clipper suitable for diabetics. There are many of them that claim to be the best, so thought better to ask if anyone can recommend a set.

Diagnosed with type 2 only 3 months ago and put on Metformin to control blood sugar levels. I have been OK with this medication, experiencing the odd period of diarrhea. But now I have had diarrhea for 48 hours with no sign of it easing off. Now I put it down to two things, either i am now...

Got the flu jab today, and also another that protects against pneumonia, meningitis (I think) and septicemia. Only need this one once. Now I feel protected - thanks to this forum. BTW, friend checked my blood sugar today, down to 5.7.

I did not know I had diabetes when I went for eye test, and the thought never crossed my mind.

Not yet.

OK, lets turn the clock back 1.5 years. I went to Specsaveres for routine eye test and was prescribed a new pair of glasses as my prescription had changed. I wore these for a couple of weeks but was never happy with them. Specsavers re-tested my eyes and found that the prescription was...

Been given Pavacol-D by pharmasist, and booked in for flu jab on Wednesday.
