Hi Gail,

Welcome to the forum. How is the diabetes going for you, have you had the diagnosis long? Love your profile picture! Life must be hard sometimes managing all three diagnoses you have, how are you finding it?

I have been using this forum for about a year and really like the people and the support. Hope you enjoy it to and get what you are looking for.

Take care

Hello gail,
Welcome. Not been here long myself but found lots of useful stuff. Hope you do too.
 
Thanks everyone for the wellcome. Have now had a good look around site and i like what i see.
Sugarbum have been dx since 2006. Been on insulin for about 9 months now. It is hard managing all 3 dxs.Have been sectioned in past because of this. Thankfully i have a very good GP whos always been there for me hes very canny limits my insulin to one pen at a time due to my past history and something i did a month ago. At the moment im on Lantus Solostar 40 units a day, its gradully being put up as they are reintroducing it into my system. but this is being changed to another brand soon as he can sort out how its going to be dispensed. I remain convinced that theres a link between how i feel mental health wise and my sugar levels. I do sometimes wonder if there is a link between the Temazepam/Risperidone/Seroxat and how it effects my diabeties. Saw my diabetic consultant during the week my sugar level is high 19.2 and my HbA1c is 9.9 so hes not a happy bunny. He asked about the exercise i do i go swimming 3-4 times a week and i try to push bike eveywhere.
I will admitt i hate taking meds im on temazepam,lansoprazole,metformin,pioglitazone,risperidone,seroxat,simvastatin and insulin but i have to otherwise i end up in a bad place
You all take care
