I'm curious to see what everyone's first thoughts when they got diagnosed. When were you diagnosed, and how old were you. Thoughts about the present and the future.. needles and diet that would have to be followed, checking blood levels everyday for the rest of your life... Let's see if there...

Oh my goodness!! How did you do it, my worst nightmare :wideyed:

When diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, there are many things that go through your mind at once. What were your first thoughts when you were sat down with your doctor and had the news?:wideyed:

Hi Ted! Just read your thread and I'm liking the sound of it! I do a lot of excersize at the moment, including a lot of walking, to try and reduce my hba1c (I wasn't happy with mine last time either). I'd love to try this app out since I only use nike run at the moment. Would be cool to try...

I've been living with type 1 diabetes for 5 years now and i've always injected the apidra solostar (daytime) around my belly button, and the nightime insulin (lantus solostar) in my inner thigh. I don't think i'd inject anywhere else appart from these areas for the reason that insulin attracts...

I'm a type 1 (diagnosed Dec 2012), and was at the gym about a week ago and i've started to reaslise that everytime i go on a treadmil (sprinting), i get pains in my leg/ankle, and its as if i've twisted my ankle after about 3/4 minutes? (I haven't actually twisted my ankle though.) I have a...

Hi, I'm type 1 diabetic and I've got the Accu-check Aviva Expert which I find is brilliant! I don't know what's the difference and what the other meters have that this one doesn't but on my meter you can see reports, so it shows like a line graph of your readings over 90 days so you can see how...

Hi, Water is the best! I sometimes find water on its own a bit boring, so I use robinsons sugar free squash with it! It's really tasty and very healthy at the same time :joyful: Hope this helps :happy:

Hi, I remember my friend who is type 1 telling me that when she went to see her doctor, he asked her why she tested at this certain point when she had a high. He told her, if you can tell that you're having a high why do you bother testing?

Hi! This sounds familiar! Before I was diagnosed, I would drink a lot! And this meaning I could drink around 3 bottles (550ml) in a matter of an hour- hour and a half. I was in high school when I was diagnosed, and even my teacher thought i was trying to skip lessons because I wanted to go to...

Hi! I'm a type 1 diabetic and I was diagnosed 5 yeara ago! I'm a student so alcohol is a good friend of mine :cyclops: When we go out, I eat a good meal around 2 hours before goinb out, so that I have plenty of time to check levels before going out. What kinds of drinks do you like? There are a...

Hi! Wow that is some motivation to hear that you get up at 4:20am! I'm here to ask you how do you live, being type 1, with excercise? I'm a student and I love to work out around an hour a day at the gym, working on 5 different machines for 10 minutes each, which is a small amount compared to...

Hi, I wake up at around 7:45, test then eat breakfast, then test again an hour later. I'm then off to the gym at around 9, and i'm there for an hour. Test again straight after coming back, and have lunch at around 12. Test again an hour later, then do whatever that I do in the day, test again...
