Is there anyone else out there?!?!?! I was diagnosed diabetic in October 2014. In May 2015 I was rushed to hospital and diagnosed with Crohns disease... both auto-immune diseases!! It's been a struggle. I had just nicely started to get my diabetes under control when all of a sudden I am put...

Hi All I was only diagnosed with Diabetes in 2014 so still a newbie really. My DSN did warn me straight away that I would gain weight by going on insulin. To say I was unimpressed was an understatement. In February 2015 I noticed that I had gained weight so I started to miss my bolus when I...

Ooh forgot to mention I inject my Lantus either in my thigh or buttock and my Humalog in my tummy! ;)

Blimey this is quite a shock to read! I was diagnosed only in October 2014 so I am very new to all this. I was initially on glicazide but my HCPs at the hospital decided I needed insulin so put me on Lantus alone. That was not enough on its own so then came the bolus, Humalog, which seems to...

Hi there! Again, same situation for me. Your diagnosis sounds very similar to mine. Diagnosed in October at 38 years "young" with no family history. I am still asking why me and I don't think I have still accepted my condition. Currently on basal-bolus regime and if I'm honest not doing the...

I switched from sweetex to Truvia. I wanted to remove aspartame from my diet and many of the sweeteners contain this. I love the taste and a little sprinkled on my weetabix it is lovely... It has the same texture as sugar.

My readings were varied. The first time my friend tested them I was 22.7mmol and hours later 21.2mmol they never went below 15mmol and that was only when fasting. Most of the time in the early 20s. To be honest at the time of the diagnosis I was hardly eating, I had no appetite at all. My GP...

Ah the joys of running around after the family... And squeezing in the management of diabetes! Now that's hard work and a total changer!!! L x

Hi all Just reading the previous posts. I was only diagnosed in October and immediately referred by my GP to my local NHS diabetes centre. I still remain under their care, the DSN and consultant, and they will not discharge me back to the GP services yet. I cannot state enough how brilliant...

Hi Emie... Just saw your post re constantly having to explain yourself. I feel just the same, it can be quite tiresome at times. No one in my family or friends is diabetic so it's all new. Being newly diagnosed myself and everything keeps changing. Complete shock when I was diagnosed and just...

Hiya... My pancreas broke too! Still trying to find out why... It can't be alcohol as I am not a big drinker and no, before anyone thinks it... I am not in denial! Dave, love the humor and upbeat attitude. My take on my diagnosis... You've got it...deal with it. It's not going to go away...

Hi All! Diagnosed in October 2014 so this is all fairly new. Health care team were unsure if T1 or T2 but just had very recent diagnosis of T3c. Still no where near under reasonable control... basal-Bolus insulin regime. - What is your name? Leanne but please call me Lea - How old are you? 38...
