I have been LADA for over a year now. My Diabetic Nurse has been pleased with my improving HBa1c scores along the way. I inject 8 units Levemir at 10.30pm and exercise, eat sensibly and maintained my 12stone body weight since I became a 'thin' diabetic. My BS scores have always been the wrong...

Happy New Year everyone! I am thinking of travelling around Europe for a couple of months in our camper van. It has a fridge but cannot be relied on to keep my insulin pens continuously cold for the trip -the fridge only lasts 3 days before needing to hook up to mains electricity and we will be...

Hi All, My Diabetes UK D Tracker App, which I've been using since my diagnosis, doesn't work with Iphone IOS 11 and I get the impression from a quick google that is being made obsolete. I usually record Blood Sugar and what I've eaten (in note form). I can then scroll back to see my history...

I have just used up half of my first Levemir FlexiPen and my diabetes nurse advises I should start another pen as 4 weeks have gone by. Does anyone know if I should put it in my recycling bin or my 'straight to landfill' rubbish bin? In either case, should I squirt the remaining contents away...

I am sharing my tale in case it is of any comfort or use to someone in a similar position. I am 56 year old guy in fairly good shape weighing 12 stone with BMI in normal range for my age/height/weight. At 50 I took a well man clinic blood test at my GP and was told I could turn type 2 if I...

Hi All, I was diagnosed with Type 2 four weeks ago and have been put on Metformin. My diabetes nurse has done more blood tests which I am waiting for as she thinks I might be something called 1.5. I've been steadily losing weight all year thanks to improved diet and lots of cycling (but she...
