    How old were you when you first diagnosed with type 1?? And how long do you have it??

    Omg,! That's ridiculous that you need a script for strips! If u buy a darn meter why can't you just go buy strips . If your diabetic you should be part of a national scheme that let's you buy them at a discount rate. As many packets and anytime you want,! That how it's done in Australia. Sent...

    Thyroidectmy

    I checked my dates and it's actually been around nine weeks. Time flys. I was told I had been given the safest of the two drugs for your liver. If I have the radiation to see if they can stabelize my thyroid I will run the risk of not feeling hypos. And still I may then end up with an under...

    Thanks everyone. Everything you have told me seems very positive. Once I get over the "nerves" I'm sure it will be good for my diabetes control as well. Counting the days down to the 13th. ( bit of a chicken :0( Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

    Thyroidectmy

    Thanks everyone, I am not sure what my ft3and ft4 readings were but I know all results were not good as the pre op dr that I saw the other day also remarked that things can't go on as they are. She assured me I will feel much better after it's removed. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

    Thyroidectmy

    Forget that last question. I saw on another thread your 49 when diagnosed. I was 52 and they continue to look at me like its impossible. Yet I they read up on it they would know it can come on at any age . :0) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

    Blood glucose meters which are the best?

    I find the optimum freestyle teststrips good as u can tear the packaging half off in such a way so you can insert it in the meter without touching the bare strip. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

    Thyroidectmy

    Yes I was on carbimozole, I have had to go back on it at a lower dose as I can get sick again without it. That means I would not be able to have surgery. So on a lower dose, still not doing my liver any good and I been booked in for 13 May for surgery. How have you been since your surgery? Did...
