I have just tested positive for Covid. The strains are supposed to be milder but I'm really unwell again, just like as last time. I had the Covid vaccine booster 13 days ago. Has anyone else caught Covid this Autumn?

Or otherwise know as Tibialis anterior, flexor Digitorum, and flexor Hallucis longus in the ankle. Running overuse injury. I wonder if being diabetic has caused these not to heal as they should? I have not been able to run (everyday) for 14 weeks now and am wearing a splint. The MRI scan came...

I had my yearly interview with the 1st year medical students from an Oxford College who get to try to diagnose me with type 1 diabetes presented with my initial symptoms. They also ask lots of questions about what is it like living with diabetes. At the end of the interview, the GP's came back...

I just received the call. I'm having the health screen check on Saturday followed by the injection if I pass. Is anyone else on the trial? I feel like I've won the lottery. 300,000 have signed up for the original 5,000 places.

I'm having my 16-month-old spaniel trained to detect overnight hypos or high blood sugars. This is just through my dog trainer rather than the charities where you have to have had serious incidents to qualify for a medical assistance dog. Has anyone had or have a hypo detection dog? If so, what...

Any personal experience or thoughts here? I sometimes experience high blood glucose overnight, particularly when eating late. This morning I was sick five minutes into my before-breakfast dawn run, and noticed that my dinner wasn't digested at all, 12 hours since eating. I had high blood sugars...

https://jdrf.org.uk/event/yorkshire-three-peaks-2/ I'd really like to do this - it's a great cause :), and I've done the 3 peak challenge. However, the issue is, unlike before, I'm now on insulin. Realistically, I have no idea how I'd even start to plan a 12-hour race when all I've done so far...

I'm on long-active Levemir since yesterday. It's taken until this moment to get my prescription for fast-acting Fiasp. My blood sugars usually go down at dinner time and spike up 3 mmol/l 6 hours later with 12 grams of carbohydrate and nightly running, weights and the gym. Considering my fasting...

Well. It happened over the last three weeks. The fasting c-peptide of 0.126 nmol/l explained why my blood sugars simply got higher and higher and no longer fell back with exercise and fasting. I even gave up eating low carbohydrate vegetables. But in the end, I simply didn't have enough insulin...

Three days in with a cgm and I've discovered: Running for 50 minutes elevates my blood sugars for 8 hours. I've been doing this daily for two years without any knowledge of the consequences. Eating breakfast spikes my blood sugars for 6-8 hours. I think my insulin is lower than low overnight so...

Do all type 2 diabetics have high insulin levels on diagnosis? My specialist diagnosed me with T1DM as I had extremely low insulin on diagnosis on a c-peptide test. I am GAD and IA2 antibody negative. My specialist suggests that the antibodies only stay around for 6 months and they must have...
