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...

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...

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...

Hi there. I'm currently awaiting results to prove I'm t1.5 not T2 as I've been treated for for 3 years (don't get me started on why it's taken so long!!!) Has anyone else here suffered with a fear of needles? If so how do you manage it or what did you do to overcome it? I litterly break...

Diagnosed T2 but very high chance T1.5 (awaiting test results) I've been observing a virtually carb free diet. I'm talking lower than 50g per day. I've had to or suffer high readings and all the thirst and peeing in the world. Low carb, low fat is near impossible so my fat intake has...

Hi there. I was diagnosed t2 three years ago. I've been on quite a lot of meds since then that don't seem to be working. A severe trauma and depression saw me not attend clinics for about 18 months but I remained complient with diet and meds. Since I've had therapy and got back to my diabetes...

How exactly do they know which type you are? I'm really struggling with management. I was diagnosed three years ago, prescribed 1000mg of metfomin and sent on my way - fully discharged and no follow up. Luckily i has health insurance at a work and am a curious type. I used the insurance to...

Hi there. Sorry this is probably going to be a long post. I currently work full time in a demanding office job. I'm also nearing the end of a part time phd that's taken 5 years. I was diagnosed almost 3 years ago. I've got a long history of depression too. Just before my diagnosis I had...
