Hi, Anyone know what the sensor is like in the sun? Or using a sunbed?

Quick question: when the sensor is applied, is it recommended to use some kind of clear dressing to hold the sensor in place? Will this still scan? Just received my order yesterday and don't fancy having to try 3 or 4 sensors due to them falling out etx Thanks

Hi, I was just wondering if T1D pay for dental treatment by the NHS? I have to get my wisdom teeth removed and was asked if I pay for my treatment, is there something for us type 1s where we don't pay for dental treatment? Thanks

I was fitted with a CGM last week and was testing 4x a day for 6 days. My nurse called me with the results and said I was sleeping through hypos every single night my tea time insulin had been reduced and my bloods are now between 7-10 before bed and 5-8 in the mornings. Can I still be having...

Hi Does anyone get headaches when their blood sugars are low? I've had headaches for a few days now and I have found when I am testing I'm between 2-3. Usually I get the shakes and feel like I'm going to pass out when they are dropping which gives me plenty warning. Can ur symptoms change? Or...

Hi, You are defiantly not alone. I've been diagnosed now for just under 10years and still in denial. I had a breakdown a fortnight ago was totally fed up with everything as my bg was either 20+ or hypo I couldn't get anything right. I went and spoke to my doctor and told him how I felt. I am...

Hi, I have just returned from my diabetic appointment with one of these monitors...I've to keep it on for 6 days then the nurse will download the information into a chart. When is the best time to be testing as this needs to be done 4x a day? I am currently using novo mix 30 but I am changing...

Hi esmg, I feel the exact the same about you towards my diabetes. The whole denial thing, "why me" and it doesn't run in my family either. I feel like I've had no support with anything through out my diagnosis and everytime I go to the check ups they change my routine. I go throu phases with...

Yeah I am trying to be more open about it infront of people/strangers. It's a common illness now so most people are aware of it I guess. I do tend to inject in a different room out of the view of people. I've been diagnosed for 7 years now. I think my last hba1c was about 8 or 9. But as I said...

Sounds good :) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I was great at taking my lantus at the same time every night....my downfall was the novo rapid. I have been diagnosed for about 7 years now and I still find it difficult to inject infront of people so when I was out and about at work or friends I had a habit of not testing and taking my insulin...

I have currently been changed from novo rapid and lantus to novomix30 in the past few months my sugar levels are either between 6-14 in the mornings and 14-20 in the late afternoon. I can't seem to get on top of it all. Are you finding the novo rapid and lantus easier? I have always been in...
