    Blood Sugar Anxiety

    Yes, that does sound like a good idea. I get so panicked that I forget to slow down and stop for a moment to check my sugar. I have never thought about the possibility of being dehydrated. I will keep that in mind for the next time that I go for a walk. Thanks

    Blood Sugar Anxiety

    Thanks for the advice. I will need to have a look at the apps that you have mentioned. I have noticed articles about mobile apps for blood glucose management, but I have never tried them. I shall give them a go!

    Blood Sugar Anxiety

    I have been Type One for almost 13 years and through those years I have received conflicting advice about how to manage my blood sugars during exercise - my Consultant and Specialist Nurse at the Pediatric clinic never gave me the same tips so I received mixed messages. However, I am finding...

    Blood Sugar Anxiety

    That does sound like a very alarming hypo Thanks for sharing your experience with me. Your post has reassured me. Thankfully, I haven't had as an alarming experience as yourself. However, for being Type One for almost 13 years, hypos have always given me a fright but like yourself, I have...

    Blood Sugar Anxiety

    For a few months now I have been experiencing anxiety about hypoglycemia. My Diabetic Consultant believes that I do have anxiety surrounding my blood sugars as I tend to check my blood sugars more often than I should - even during the night. This may sound like a good habit to have but I feel...

    11 years Type One Diabetic and worst experience ever

    Thanks for the reply, I am hoping to attend university in September and I do have a fear about how my health will be and how others will accept me. I do have a close friend that I talk to about how I am feeling and she is very supportive. My family is very supportive too, my mother really does...

    11 years Type One Diabetic and worst experience ever

    Thanks for your reply, I am hoping to attend University in September and I believe that my biggest fear about going is my health and how others will accept me. I don't want my T1D to stop me, however, I do think that sometimes I can be too cautious rather than diving in to something new. Thanks...

    11 years Type One Diabetic and worst experience ever

    I have been type one diabetic since I was 7 years old and from a young age I dealt with my TD1 maturely and never caused a fuss, my parents were very lucky! I would compare living with T1D to a rollercoaster ride as it has its ups and downs with a fair share of surprises. Of course, I am not the...
