Thanks! Thats great to hear

Thanks! yes its quite a niche topic :-)

Hello! Any type 1 diabetics have any experience taking citalopram for anxiety? Positive or negative. I started taking it today and am nervous about side effects - on sugar control or otherwise!

Thats interesting to see you had similar struggles! I hope you find something to settle the pain, that is no fun :-(

Thank you for the update!

I know its super controversial shutting schools and far from ideal but I just cant help feel they should shut them for a month or two and try to get others vaccinated as quickly as possible!

you can see what that GP said if you go to 8.19am on the catch-up https://www.itv.com/hub/good-morning-britain/2a3211 Seems that they tested the pfizer vaccine in 16 yrs+...

Agreed! Does seem however that it is up for discussion: https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/government-looks-at-vaccinating-secondary-school-pupils-to-control-covid-spread-802282 Although this isnt the most reliable source...

Quite a niche question! However I was wondering if anyone knew of the ins and outs related to getting Type 1 diabetes supplies in New Zealand? As am strong considering a move there. Thanks!

I have Type 1 diabetes but also PCOS and would ideally go on the combined pill to help with symptoms. However I tried Gedarel for a few months and it made me quite insulin resistant and blood sugars hard to manage. What are others experience with contraceptive pills?

Bless you! You have my sympathy! I am a bit older than you (was diagnosed a year ago at 27) and its quite the shock right? I am still the same about injections sometimes! Its v weird, sometimes i just cant do them! Im not going to lie and say its easy but you will start to get used to daily life...

Aah, ok, thanks! maybe i need to give the frio wallets another chance then! Do you make sure they are open to the air so they can evaporate properly?

Can I ask how people have managed when travelling in hot countries with their insulin? For example taking an < day long bus trip between locations abroad where there wont be a fridge. I feel frozen ice packs wont stay frozen for long and I find frio wallets are only good at keeping it a few...

Hello all! I am a recently diagnosed type 1 diabetic (at 28 years old). I was always very independent and hoping to travel a lot through my life but am suddenly feeling like travelling somewhere tropical or far afield is now going to be very intimidating! I lack the types of friends who would go...
