Hi ya, No, I don’t take Creon. I’ve refused to. It’s extremely rare that I eat ready meals and it’s extremely rare I cook something to eat. I eat cakes, biscuits, chocolate, sweets etc. I only drink Relentless, which is an energy drink. The bloke I see at the hospital, he is lovely, but he...

I’ve never heard about diabetic burn out. That actually seems fitting for me at the moment (looking it up on the internet) I will certainly have a look at what you have suggested and I’ll see what I can do with contacting people. Thank you so much x

Seeing as though when I was in hospital, they only wanted to give it me 3 times a day, before meals, and was going to lock it away the rest of the time, I’m going to ask the doctor, or someone how often I should take it! (I walked out the hospital because of rows over my meds. It happens every...

I have had some insulin now. I’ll use some but not as much as I need and I’ll see the doctor next week x

It’ll be next week now before I can get an emergency appointment with the only doctor I’ll see. She only does Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s. As for A&E, as I’ve got insulin at home, it wouldn’t be justified. All they’d do is give me insulin at most. After the last time I was actually admitted to...

I’ve only got to wait until March to see the bloke at the hospital who “deals” with my diabetes. That’s IF I bother to see him again at all. I’m going to look up to see what else I can sort out, to see who else I can deal with / talk to about it all. I feel like all I’m doing is injecting...

How to use insulin properly has never been explained to me. Carb counting has never been explained to me. I have literally been told I was diabetic, given insulin and left to it. I see someone at the hospital every 3 months but all he does is tell me where the i was told I was diabetic, given...

I haven’t been told or shown how to use insulin correctly. This is the problem.

I’m not really bothering taking insulin now. I have my long acting and sometimes my fast acting but I’m just going to leave it. My Libre 2 sensor finished today and I’m not going to start another one. You see, the hospital and doctors can’t be bothered so neither can I. At last check, my...

Zero carb versions of what? Energy drinks? If that’s what you mean then they only do one sugar free flavour in Relentless and it’s raspberry and I didn’t like it. I don’t know how much Lyumjev to take. I just guess it. Like at the moment I’m 22.4 mmol/L so I’ve had 6 units. But that could be...

I’m on Tresiba, which is Balsal and I have 16 units a day and Lyumjev is my rapid acting and I take anywhere between 3-6 units a time, up to 7 times a day. I am producing some insulin but I don’t know how much. I haven’t got a clue about carb counting, I just know I use a lot of Lyumjev because...

Yes I’m in the UK and I’ve had damage to my pancreas due to several bouts of pancreatitis. That’s how I worked out I was T3c

I ended up going to ambulatory at the hospital as my gp said my glucose was high at 24 something or other. They gave me an injection at the time, didn’t tell me what, then a nurse came over to see me when my level had gone down. She told me I was Type 3c which I already knew. She gave me the...

Hi PenguinMum. No, I don’t take Creon. They gave it to me the once, for something else … think it was on going stomach pains, where I couldn’t eat and lost nearly 2 stones in weight. That was before I was diagnosed diabetic. I tried to take them but couldn’t. Also, I don’t like the idea of...

Hi MissMuffet, That’s one of my biggest problems. I can’t eat the same thing the next day and if I freeze food, I won’t eat it. My friend ends up with it. So batch cooking is no good to me. I have to really fancy something before I’ll think about cooking, even though I love to cook. Then if the...
