That's not fair Shannon [emoji17]

Yes same, my control's ok too so I feel like it should be my decision. It's annoying!!

Hi KK, it was just a procedure at a beauty salon, so nothing life changing! And I completely understand her reasons / policy. Just makes you think.

You honest bunch [emoji6] I'm just feeling a bit miffed as I was turned down for something... this hasn't happened before in my 12 yrs of diabetes so I'm almost wishing I'd notbeen so honest!

As per the question, have you ever covered up the fact that you have Type 1, and why? Not that I'm planning on telling a fib of course [emoji87]

Enjoy your sun lounger - sounds wonderful [emoji4]

Yes, every day is different, what with hormones, holidays, special occassions, one day you've cracked it and the next it all goes wrong again! I've gone wrong today as it's the office Bake Off!! No self control!

Some really interesting comments. I was having my doubts about how fast Novorapid actually is...

Hi @porl69 48 years... you must be an expert [emoji6] One just has to keep motivated. I hope you're feeling better soon and those sugars come down. x

Thanks for your reply Juicy. I am lucky enough to have a Libre due to the fact I was finger pricking more than 10 times daily. It really helps. And you're right, I think life will eventually get easier again! I do need to prioritise food in general - you are what you eat after all! I'll give...

Hi... I’m over 10 years into Type 1 so you’d think I’d have mastered it by now! But it just seems to get harder. In the early days my control was really good - with my HBA1Cs in the 5s, but now I have more responsibilities (eg a family) to factor in I simply can’t keep on top of it. I...

I agree, although I find it difficult to cut out bread so stick to the lowest carb stuff [emoji1303]

Thank you Juicyj, I will try! xxx

My DN always says I give myself a hard time, as my HBA1C is quite good. My lifestyle is quite hectic, there's always party food, drinks, eating out so I give in to temptation quite regularly! I tend to have a few 'good' weeks then a few 'bad' weeks which is probably why my HBA1C evens out ok. x
