Hello everyone, Hope all’s well! Reaching out as interested to hear how people are currently finding treatment, hospital appointments and the like. And before I go into my current ordeal I’m by no means going to be slating the NHS as I’m fully aware of the amazing job they do and the...

Hello all, Hope you're well! First of all, appreciate how many threads there are on this already and the wealth of info available. However, starting a new thread with the hope I might get some advice on the options I have and from people that may have been in the same boat. To set the scene...

Evening all, Hope you’re good! I stopped smoking in January this year and moved onto the vapes... as you do. Obviously I know this still isn’t good for you, but better than the old ciggies. I guess one thing I wanted to ask was whether anyone has experienced high blood sugars after vaping? My...

Evening all, Hope you’re good! Apologies in advance for the essay. So I’m reaching out for advice and to also understand if anyone has been through this before and what you would do in this scenario. I work as an account manager for a media agency and the people that need to know I have type...

Afternoon all, Saw on twitter earlier someone post about using an Omnipod - never seen it before but it looks interesting! I’ve had a pump over 10 years now and it would be good to test something wireless! Is anyone using this - and did you get it through the NHS? Any pros/ cons to it? I...

Morning all, Yesterday morning I went for a 5K run, when I got back my blood was 6. I didn't really feel hypo after it however later in the day I started feeling the symptoms. Before bed my blood was 6.7 however I was starting to feel very faint and shaky. Before going to bed I had, 5 glucose...

Hi all, Does anyone find exercise and diabetes a terrible mix? Whenever I go to hospital for a check up I'm told 'check your blood' before carrying out any activity and the usual spiel, which I find never helps. Today I went for a 5K run and checked my blood before and it was 11. I checked...

Hi guys, Hope your weekend is going well! The past few weeks my accu check spirit combo has been playing up and my blood meter hasn't been connecting to the pump, which has meant manual bolusing and lots of high blood sugars. Tonight I unpaired the meter from the pump and now they won't pair...

Evening all! Recently I've been evaluating my Type 1 diabetes life. I've had it for over 15 years now and still struggle to really get good control. Further to that, I enjoy a drink and have a sweet tooth. I do test my blood as often as I can and bolus for meals so I'm not terrible, it's just...

Hi all, Hope you're having a good Saturday! I recently went for my six-monthly check up at Guy's Hospital and I was offered the chance to join a week long dafne course in January. My only concern is that I don't want to take a week off work if it's not worthwhile - has anyone done this...

Hi all, I recently went for my yearly retinal screening a couple of weeks ago, and it wasn't great. The nurse spotted some background retinothopy and referred me to Moorfield Eye Hospital in London. I've had diabetes since I was 11 (27 now) so I guess it was only a matter of time before things...

Hi everyone, good to meet you! This is a bit of a first for me, I've had type 1 diabetes since I was 11, so 16 years now, and I barely speak openly about it. Only those closest to me know I have it and I've never been one for testing etc. in front of other people. Recently I spoke with another...
