I have type 1 diabetes woth CKD. One infection could wipe my kidneys out. They are at 21% now. This is not on the list so I’m not sure where I stand.

Thanks for the help guys. I’m so silly, usually I’m so organised but got up late today so I was in a mega rush. I will contact my pharmacy tomorrow and see if they can fast track some emergency stock for tomorrow morning. Xx

1 day, I took my Tresiba last night as normal x

I have gone to visit my dad 125 miles away and just gone to take my Tresiba and realised I have left it at mine. Has anyone else had a problem and not taken it ? Will I be okay?

Hi All, I’m sorry to be such a misog but I have been having a bad time recently and have been told I need a kidney biopsy as there’s likely damage to them. Feet look like elephants feet and it’s coming to summer so I am feeling ultra sad that there will be nothing I can do to make them go...

It annoys me so much. It was worse when I was on metformin as there was obviously nothing I could do to bring it down. I’m also a little under the weather too which isn’t helping xxx
