    Struggling to eat normally

    I'm not losing a significant amount of weight :) I don't eat much normally - I get distracted doing other stuff and just forget about it - but when this comes along, I end up not eating ANYTHING, going a whole day with nothing, and then maybe a cereal bar the next day. It's certainly not...

    Struggling to eat normally

    I do lose weight, but it's not drastic, maybe 3-5kg. It comes back up to normal once I start eating properly again. I think maybe this is just a personality rather than a diabetic thing, though, because I do consider eating to be a waste of time. Not great for a diabetic, or a human being who...

    Struggling to eat normally

    Hiya! Thanks for responding :) I've told my doctor and specialist about it and they don't seem too worried, since they don't think it's an eating disorder. My BGs are the same as normal. It's not affecting my BGs much, I was just wondering if it was a phenomenon related to diabetes, although...

    Struggling to eat normally

    I don't seem to eat as much as normal people. Everyone else seems to get hungry all the time and I can sometimes go days without eating anything but a few biscuits. It happens every now and again - sometimes I'll go for a few weeks without eating anything and then I go through a stage where I...

    What's on your shovel list?

    I'm obsessed with Supernatural, and every time Sam says "So get this" I want to slap him over the head :D

    Aviva Expert Meter

    The expert meter is amazing simply because I don't have to do any more maths! As for the case, I've just put the strap over the middle button, so I just press on the strap, which works for me, but then again, I have small hands :)

    Feel like my friends are getting bored with my diabetes

    Thanks! And I know what you mean by family giving you the vacant look! I think I saw a good pic to illustrate what you mean by all-consuming ;)

    Feel like my friends are getting bored with my diabetes

    I also heard those wise words from Rizzoli and Isles ;) thanks for understanding, a lot of people don't get that being diabetic defines us :)

    Type 1s: What stupid things have people said to you?

    I think I may have an original... I was complaining that my time of the month was complicating my blood sugars to a male friend, and he said, "I guess loss of blood affects it, right?" :D I found that kind of amusing ;)

    Am I allowed to rant? Diabetic consultant...

    I'm lucky that I live in a small town so I know most of the nurses and specialists, but it still doesn't mean they're really patronising. I've been living with this for 4 years, and every 3 frigging months I go to the clinic, my specialist says, "How are you?" I say, "Fine." and I leave! Even...

    T1 diabetes in the family?

    I was diagnosed when I was 14, the only one in my family. My mum has autoimmune thyroiditis, and her side of the family do have a history of t2, but my brother is the healthiest person I know (hope I didn't just jinx that) and males are supposed to be more likely to get diabetes than females, so...

    Feel like my friends are getting bored with my diabetes

    Sometimes I feel like I'm bringing everyone down if I tell them I've had a bad diabetic day, or having a bad low. I guess it's just one of those things ;) Thanks for all of the support, guys!!

    Feel like my friends are getting bored with my diabetes

    I'm 18 and was diagnosed with Type 1 four years ago. My friends are pretty much indifferent to my diabetes, which is great because I don't want them pestering me ;) but lately I've been talking to them about it more often, and it just kind of feels like they're bored with me repeating myself...

    Just for fun..type 1 sayings..

    I seem to have too much energy when I'm either hypo or hyper, so whenever I'm hanging out with my mum and I don't let her get a word in edgeways, she just looks at me and says, "Where's your testing kit?" lol!
