Thank you so very much I have learnt so much on here from other supporting members-who welcomed me with open arms and helping me at a time of crisis.


which at least now that I no longer need to feel like throwing the gauntlet down and for the 1st time today, I had a healthy breakfast half hour AFTER having my insulin injection (Novorapid ASPART 18 units which is a Orange flex pen X 3 per day ). Which I didn't even know the name of my daytime insulin and (40 units of Glargine X 1 at night)


That it's Units NOT MLS Which I was left to believe, when infact that is units the correct term which I have learned and that I should be taking it before Meals.


I could not believe My sugar level was 10 instead of 19-20 's and it was the first meal I had in nearly two weeks and my sugar level had dropped, As I was afraid of my sugar levels going increasingly going up but it was due to the very kind members on the forum that reached out to a newbie member that was So afraid that helped me on my way.


I Will never forget from all the members that gave me the strength and support of having the opportunity to be part of a family of friends.


which my situation is very complicated but that wasn't too large a load for them to see me as person and some who also shared the same problems. Well that's how I feel on here that fate brings people together for a reason.


It truly is the most educational helpful tips, Amazing supportive forum and site That I have ever come across from eBay- to card making, and we can only be all together due to the people that lead by example, That's how much faith I have in this site as it can only be as good as the everyday members from all walks of life.

I can only thankyou all for comfort and support that you all have given to me over a weekend. I have learned so much and able to say today that I am able to enjoy eating again and today is the first day of having 2 meals a day that I learned to plan ahead. With again a great app for meals on here so as I can try to put together with a little help from my family. Re: using the cooker and some guidance.

As always appreciation to you all. Wishing you all the best in life, love and wellbeing for a brighter tomorrow

So when I say from the first time I had a desktop version of computers, it must be 19 years,at least online on and off, This site deserves an award for being the best.
So glad you have come back, I was thinking about you. Great your numbers are starting to come down and do ask any more questions here.
Sending you loads of support and glad you are getting the help you need.

I think that you can be reassured that hopefully I will be around for a longtime.


I meant every word I posted and I feel so much can be learned.


Hopefully in the future I to could be there even in support by giving positivity. I can only try and the strength I received from all on here I can share with everyone to go around no matter what the issue may be.

Huge Hugs

Hello @BinkyJo very pleased to see you back again and as others have said please stay in touch 🙂

I'm not sure if you saw my comment in a previous post regarding your steroid dose timing, you are meant to take your steroids in the morning not at night.

Very pleased to can now eat without fear as well.
