Today my IVF clinic took a blood test to see if I’ve ovulated, in order to start my next IVF cycle. Later they told me I had ovulated and I’m ready to start this cycle but I wondered would that blood test have revealed if I was possibly pregnant? Or are they only testing for ovulation and progesterone levels so wouldn’t look to see if HCG was in the blood?

I have some in date blood glucose testing strips for meters and I no longer use the meters so have no need for them. They are available to buy in shops so I know it is legal to sell them however I’m not sure if I can sell them when I got them free on prescription because I get free prescriptions. Does anyone know whether it is legal or not for me to sell them because I have no need for them any more and need to get rid of them somehow. Thanks
I mean in the UK under the NHS and an answer more than no would be good as I would quite like to know why otherwise your answer is useless to me
Right, I shall add, I am unaware of any free clinics in the UK, they are all free. I no longer receive them as I had them taken off my prescription (for obvious reasons) and I know it is legal for me to sell them, the bit I wanted to know was whether I could sell them when I got them for free. I KNOW I can legally sell them without a license. I do not require answers that are not based on UK law, but thanks for wasting your time

Type 2 Diabetes friendly Thanksgiving recipes?

My dad was just diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes this week and we now have to alter his entire diet. I still do not know much about the disease so I need help. We want to have a complete Thankgiving with Turkey and Side dishes he can eat. Maybe even a dessert. Do you know any recipes or good websites?

is it diabetes type 2?

well i’m 14, and not entirly sure whats wrong with me, if anything. Latley i have been feeling strange when i eat sweet foods, and im not sure if i am just neing paranoid, i cant remember how i came arross the conclusion of diabetes, because i didn’t know any of the symptoms/signs. But after reading about it i have come to realise my breath has a slight smell to it, even after i brush and mouthwash. Its like tinned sweetcorn in a way, but i have been taking ibuprofen due to a recent operation i had and i hear that, that can have a effect. I havnt noticed much of the other symptoms apart from i do have blurry vision from time to time, but my eyes just water a lot, but i’m still worried i have type 2 diabetes because both my nan and grandad have it and i often eat junk food, do you think i have it or am i just over thinking? I am going to the doctor, next monday but i havnt told my mum the reason just said i wanted to go and check i didnt need anymore jabs or anything (im very independant btw :L) but also the only thing stopping me from going completly wack about it is the fact, i read that the sufferes are USUALLY either overweight, over 40, do not do a lot of excerise ect, non of which are particulary like me. please just give me your opinion on what you think :)

My boyfriend is diabetic and sometimes he loses his meter. We were discussing glucagon and his shot today, because my doctor thinks (neither of us are convinced) that I am a diabetic, so he told me to watch my diet and gave me a glucagon shot. I was wondering what would happen if someone were to pass out with high blood sugars or just from heat or something, have it mistaken for a hypo attack, and they were given the glucagon shot? Is this dangerous? I don’t want to hurt my boyfriend if he passes out from high sugars, or has one of his seizures, and i give him his shot, mistaking the signs for hypo because i can’t find his meter.
His sugars are very well controlled right now, but he does have seizures sometimes. What can happen if his sugars are normal (let’s say 110-140) and i give him the shot thinking he’s hypo? I’m REALLY scared about this!!

Is this insurance fraud?

People buy diabetic test strips for cash and I get mine in a three month supply from my insurance, is it fraud to sell for cash? Can I get in trouble.

My doctor said I won’t be going into labor by myself before my due date and she would have to induce labor the day after my due date because I have gestational diabetes but she didn’t say what the risks are if we just wait. My baby isn’t too big.

I just found sugar-free rye bread, but there was not a calorie chart on the plastic wrapper. I want to try it but my husband is diabetic and I try to eat just as healthy as he.

I have a daughter who is telling me that she will lose her weight, get into shape and never get diabetes. My husband and I were both told that because we both have it. It is not if our children will get it, it is when. I would like to know, if I was told correctly or if my daughter knows it all.
