@JoKalsbeek Been taking the 'happy pills' for almost a year now and weirdly enough, I still aint happy lol. @Juicyj thanks, I have tested my bloods for a couple days now so just to try and get the insulin doses sorted out. Have recently found out that a VERY close family member is pregnant...

After a LONG battle with Diabulemia and generally not giving a **** about myself.. A 4 day stay in hospital where the doctors had no idea what was wrong with me other than I was close to death's door, I decided it was time to sort my life out. I have an appointment at eye clinic and...

I eat VERY low carb, if I eat more than 1 'proper' meal a day I am sick. Diabetic clinic here are poop (I would use a lot more stronger words but best not). I only use Lantus and refuse to take NovoRapid until the diabetic clinic or GP start listening to me and actually help instead of...

I know I have posted ages ago about this burt am absolutely sick of gaining weight every time I try to be a 'good diabetic'. Diabetic clinic near me (st johns hospital) are pathetic and I dont know where else to turn. My gp says to trust the hospital but they have no clue and I am at my wits...

Still not heard from GP so guessing he will phone sometime next week. The consultant also vhanged my meter to one that checks for ketones which I did not want so my plan of attack so far is. 1) Screw them, I have approx 2 months worth of tablets and intend to keep taking them. 2) 30 units...

No idea, he didnt even tell me his name. Fingers crossed GP calls soon cause I am really not wanting to go back to that place again

I take 20 units Lantus at 6pm and 10units at 7am, down from approx 50 units. The tablets are the 10mg of Jardiance. The consultant was a complete moron. Asked me if I take insulin to begin with 'well, no mr consultant, I rely on magic to control my type 1 diabetes'.

So, had my first appointment at new diabetic clinic and amSERIOUSLY hacked off. Running 40mins late then when I finally got seen, they decided to do a foot check without warnig (lucky my nails were painted lol). Went in to see the consultant who without ever meeting me told me I was taking...

I just got home from Diabetic clinic and have been told that as the tablets are not licensed for use by type 1, I have to stop taking them immediately. (That will NOT be happening!) They have wrote to my GP to stop me getting anymore as well.

Its not the bike that is unsafe, it is the driver/rider!!! How about the 17 year old speeding in their car not long after passing their test & showing off?? My Dad always had motorbikes, he was killed when I was 2 by a drunk on a motorbike. Several friends have died in crashes showing off in...

@Chowie I have been on them for about 6 months now. My insulin needs have gone down quite a lot but not sure about HbA1C as dont get it checked until Thursday. It has made a real difference to me & it has helped with losing some extra weight as well as I am taking a lot less insulin. Within...

Does anyone attend St John's Hospital in Livingston for their Diabetic Clinic? I have my first appointment there next week, have lost the original appt letter but have the reminder. Just curious as to where I actually go when I get there, I have never been to the hospital before but know how...

I have started vaping not too long ago and it has had no changes in levels at all. I will say though, be careful what vapes you buy and where from. I have started on ones with tobacco and plan on using them for a month or 2 before movig to the ones with no nucotine. Not going to happen...
