Hi all, I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and am aware the common labour routine for Type 1 diabetes is early induction to minimise risks to mum and baby. I’ve since realised this is controversial and have also read of some really negative experiences. Does anyone have a positive experience to share?

Hi all, as it’s pancake day, thought I’d share a recipe for low carb pancakes. This recipe made 8 small pancakes at approx 2g of carbs each. I had mine with raspberries and creme fraiche and stayed steady until lunch. 60g Philadelphia 50g ground almonds/almond flour 12g coconut flour 2 eggs...

This week was my 6 monthly diabetes endo appointment. The last time I saw this particular consultant (1 year ago) I left the room feeling incredibly demotivated, lost and hopeless. So much so that I tried my best to hold back the tears as I waited inline to book my next appointment then cried...

I stumbled across these in Tesco tonight. The new flavour is delicious and only 9g of carbs per pot. They are on offer at the moment, 4 pots for £3.

When I didn’t think technology could get much better after getting the Freestyle Libre sensor, this has blown my mind! I did some research into how best to get my blood sugar readings on my Apple Watch and here we have it [emoji7] If anyone is interested in the process here you go (with Apple...

Hi all, Just wanted to reach out to you all and say thanks for all the support since I joined the Forum back in August. I’ve learnt so much from you all, firstly all about the Libre and low carbing which has totally changed my life, along with all my other queries! If it wasn’t for you guys...

Hi all, I started incorporating running into my exercise regime in April to step up my fitness and help maintain steady blood glucose levels. I started off with 5kms - it was a struggle at first but I managed to keep steady levels through trial and error. I recently increased the distance and...

Hi all, I’ve been experimenting recently and thought I’d share some photos of my attempts! peanut butter and choc bites, honey and oat cookies and chocolate chia pudding. These have worked really well for my blood sugars [emoji106]

Hi all, I’ve got an Apple Watch series 3 and iPhone 7. Just exploring the best way to get Libre data displaying on my watch. I know there’s some old posts about this but wanted to see if blucon nightrider transmitter is still the best way to do this? Thank you

Hi everyone, I’ve looked back at some old posts but thought I’d start a new one for any thoughts... I’m experiencing some unusual for pain, despite having the best control I’ve ever had. I’ve suffered with plantar fasciitis in the past so it’s not that. This is more tingling/sensation and...

Hi all, Just to confirm I’ve changed my name from @tiredoftrying2017 to mytype1.life Happy Friday

Hi All, I’ve set up a new instagram account to share my experiences of T1 and learn from others. Please follow me or share if you can [emoji106] #mytype1.life

Hi All, I’ve been doing some research into T1 accounts on Instagram and am keen to set up my own. I love taking photos and most importantly I really want to share my T1 experiences to help others. There doesn’t appear to be a huge amount of English accounts with users using both the Omnipod...

Hi everyone, Thought I’d share some good news. I got my HbA1c back today and it was the best it’s ever been!!! From 76 (Feb 2017) to 69 (July 2017) to 52 :):) Thank you so much for all the support. Below is a link to my first post on the forum. In particular thanks to @himtoo, @GrantGam and...

Hi All, I’ve been lucky to travel a lot this year and have always followed the same routine of presenting my letter at security and not walking through the bodyscanner. Each airport tends to operate differently, some times there is no follow up, other times I am asked to go into a private room...

Hi All, Just thought I’d share I survived my first day (afternoon) back on the slopes! I’d forgotten how much effort it takes just to put your boots on and carry your skis!! Thanks to the forum advice I kept my Libre in a lanyard and my Omnipod in a sock close to my skin for warmth! My levels...

Hi everyone, As we are approaching Christmas week I just thought I’d share how I’ve got on this weekend. I will be away for Christmas so have had an early Christmas along with other get togethers. A few months back I would have probably decided not to attend but I really didn’t want to miss out...

Just curious... today has been a rollercoaster and I was wondering if anybody else experiences anything similar. It’s been a very busy and pretty stressful week, consequently I’ve been struggling to sleep in the build up to today delivering training for the day with to our management...

I was reflecting on my potential HbA1c progress made since joining the forum and getting a Libre (fingers crossed for December!) and began to question why I’d been getting it wrong for so many years. By wrong I mean trying so so hard to be healthy but not seeing the HbA1c improvement. Then the...

Hi everyone, It's another one of those frustrating hypos which I've attempted to treat twice. I went to bed around 9 and here is my graph. My BS doesn't normally drop like this but I did do a high intensity interval class on Friday night which I expect is the cause. I'm keeping an exercise...
