Thank you. I'm not much of a red wine fan, mixed with horseradish it sounds positively foul. It's. Really making me freak out a bit. My nan had big swollen legs. I don't want that.

Hey everyone. I was diagnosed LADA about 2 months ago and now have insulin treatment. I've put on a lot of weight since then and can't loose it as quickly as I'm used to (I had ketosis for quite a while but only upto 3mmol). Recently I can see that my ancles are becoming really puffy. I...

Thank you for the recommendations and great to have that reassurance regarding night time hypos.

My post meal readings are taken 2 hours after eating when the bolus is not longer affective. As advised by nurse. Nurse agreed it wasn't quite covering. I don't drive I cycle. I will give my nurse a call today. My morning reading today was 4.2 so maybe it's a bit too much basal. I don't...

This has only happened since starting insulin and I don't have any other symptoms of PCOS

Thanks for the honesty. I have a coil fitted as the pill makes me a bit of a crazy ******. I get quite nasty with them. Tried all sorts of brands and types. I'm not comfortable with irregularity. I'm a bit concerned you can wake up and fall asleep again. That is really dangerous. You could...

Hi all. I'm still relitively new to insulin and have a few nooby questions. 1) for the ladies. Can insulin mess with menstruation? I missed a period (definitely not pregnant) this month. Which is very unusual for me. Has anyone else had this? 2) night time hypos Today I had my first...

Thanks for the advice all.

Thank you. I was worried as about an hour has passed now! Appreciated

I understand you are trying to help but I must point put that you are not helping. We must remember that orange juice has a far higher fructose content than an orange as it has had all the pulp and fiber removed. No one on earth should be denied a portion of fruit. It's and orange for Christ's...

This might sound ridiculous but tonight I forgot I was diabetic. I've had a really long day on very little sleep. Travelled from Birmingham to London and back. When I got back to brum I was starving and popped in for a KFC. I'd had very little to eat all day so wolfed it down, got on my bus...

I'm pleased to report I got insulin about 3/4 weeks ago. My levels are at a healthy level now and I can really feel the difference. But yes the same as you I put the warning signs down to depression for a long time. It was only after a course of CBT followed by a course of EMDR I realised there...

Injections have been fine - hypnosis did the trick :D :D :D

Sorry for the delayed response. Indeed they are, thank you. its amazing - i have my life back - with just a little added self care and some sharps. Fasting levels down to the 9's now on 18 units of Lantus and due to increase by 2u in 2 days. that should do the trick. ;) xxx

LADA confirmed. Always get your GAD test people!!!

LADA - discovered after 3 years of being treated as T2. Recommends C-peptide and GAD antibodies test for any newly diagnosed.

I've officially had LADA for a week. I was put on Lantus Sunday and then got my fast acting Apidra on Wednesday My readings are still too high so yesterday and today I have had 14 units of Lantus as advised. They were 15.9 this morning. Down from the 20's Wednesday. I've been told to have 1...

Latest update: Had a bit of drama. Yesterday morning I was uncontrolably sick everywhere. It lasted about 10 mins and was all bright yellow green stomach bile. Since the consultant had previously asked if I'd been inexplicably sick when determining if t2 or 1.5 earlier this week I decided to...

Fab thanks for confirming. I'm. So relieved. I was starting to worry I was really t2 and was doomed to a life with as restrictive a diet as I have had to follow. When the latest consultant said I was definitely t2 because I hadn't lost weight I thought maybe I was wrong after all. Maybe my...
