Thanks guys. I'm going to have a chat with the GP I trust as soon as an appointment can be found for me. I called up today and asked if I was allowed to ask his advice. The receptionist agreed it's a good idea to speak to him. I have precious little sight so, right now I'm unable to respond...

Forgive me for jumping in when I'm type one (no harm intended). I just wanted to say, the ONLY thing I've found that helps me is magnesium and chromium taken together. You can SOMETIMES get chromium from Holland and Barrett but I tend to get mine from amazon. I discovered Magnesium Berries by...

I have a problem at the moment. I got a wonderful continuous glucose monitor. I know some people have had difficulties with it but FOR ME it's been awesome (sorry). Biggest thing was it saved my life last Saturday because I had such a major hypo. I would have slept through it. I have...

I love mine too! I now have a good idea what different foods do to me - what's even better, some I thought I maybe shouldn't have, I've tried - and found they barely affect me so it's brilliant in that way. I agree the alarms are a pain - but they are doing their job. Before I went with this...

I had the same problem. Not sure if i'm sickening for Covid (possible) and my body is being contrary (doctor told me it's not unheard of to go low if I'm fighting that - my Mum has it). Thank God for the sensor because i had no idea I was so low - trouble was, nothing I did brought the sugar...

How I wish you could put a thumbs up or something on this site. I'm losing my sight (long story but nothing to do with diabetes) so I may be missing something.

I'm so sorry! I do understand. While I can't help, I do want to let you know you are in my thoughts. I have been having trouble with my HbA1c (it started in the 100s before I changed to a new team ... now it's 75! After less than a year! I'm having a problem at the moment but it's been...

Oh boy this site is not easy to navigat when you're losing your sight! Just wanted to chip in here as I always struggle with hypos in the heat. Just returned from Florida and found a bizarre solution. There are these cake decorations from Michael's (Flamingo seemed to work the best) which are...

Hi everyone Apologies - I rarely ask questions on the forums (always nervous of people saying I'm asking stupid questions) but I had such a bizarre experience on Thursday I thought I'd reach out. I am type one diabetic for the last 8 years and have never had an experience like this. I'm on...
