I've had people on line I though were friends. Turned out they weren't. Those that go quiet, it could be because of their own issues or things going on in real live.

Na in my case it was that they didn't need help anymore and they didn't want to deal with someone that had to now inject themselves numerous times a day :( never mind you don't need people like that x

I think in my case it was because I fell pregnant...and my control wasn't great....I kept messaging/emailing even on the forum....and they was online and posting....just ignoring me..so maybe I did something wrong...heyho!
xx
 
Sorry to hear it was like that for you both.
It wasn't on the diabetes forums. It was elsewhere. I've had people decided they didn't want to deal with me, and some other people too, anymore.
Broken, it could easily have been them and their own issues. And like Kaylz says, you're probably better off.

Hello BrokenPancreas & a warm welcome to our very friendly & supportive forum - glad you found us - but wish you hadn't needed to if you understand me! I'm T2 and not on insulin so I'm afraid I am unable to give you advice but what I can do is lend my support which I'm willing & happy to do. You will make many friends here as I did when I became a member. Take care BP x

OK BP - I have a 2 tablet dispensers to choose from to keep all my tabs in - once a week I top up one of them with 7days tablets in each of the days compartments - this way I don't forget to take my tabs - but also it is a reminder should I accidently forget to take one or more tabs. I think you should know when to take your tabs ie before or after food - first thing in the morning - evening or last thing at night. I also have a small tablet holder for one days supply that I take with me when I go out. x

Oh please don't say that BP - you just need some of us to point you in the right direction - may I suggest then that you treat yourself to a tablet dispenser to organise your daily/weekly tabs. 🙂 that will be one thing less for you to worry yourself about :D and you could keep the dispenser in your kitchen or on your table where you're likely to see it. Ask as many questions as you like - there's plenty of folk here to answer them for you. Take care & good luck x
