Hi Karen I tested the injections with 20 units into the caps to see if it worked and it seemed fine xx

Hi there Have changed my insulins and opened new boxes. I'm okay and don't believe I have an infection at the moment. I'm in no pain, just got a really bad headache and chest ache but that's come on from the high sugars. Got no ketones but I'm feeling sick now because they have been rubbish...

Hi all, Today has been a strange day - my sugars refuse to come down - I don't appear to have ketones when I've tested either. I gave 14 units this morning to bring down (was 21) and for breakfast, hadn't eaten between and it's still high by lunch time, didn't eat anything different and gave...

I find it super hard to not have carbs. I'm a very fussy eater and eat a lot of junk and I'm trying to clean up my diet, which I already have done massively.. however my sugars are still haywire as I have a lot of carbs and find it hard to calculate for. I also have a high sugar diet and...

HBA1c from 14.9% to 13.6% small victory!!

I know, I wish I could tell my head it's not a weakness, that actually breaking down is a good thing and it means I can start again but with not so much of a heavy burden of emotions being carried with me.. I used to see someone in my team when I was young but I didn't like it, I haven't been...

Depression sneaking up and ruining your weekend into break down mode was not ok...

Hey you, private message me :) We can talk it out, I know how hard it is and what it's like to want to call quits on life because of it, hugs x

Thank you I really appreciate it! I have a hospital appointment tomorrow and they have been asking me to do a 'no carb day' for some times, but my depression effects my mood and I can't bring myself to do it, and I also am a very fussy eater who has a high carb diet. I know they are going to be...

My GP's wife is type 1 so he's really good at allowing me to have what I need and it makes me feel good that he just understands and never questions me. Mine over the weekend were good considering, I had a few that were 15/16 but others that were 5/7 so it's the first time I bought it down that...

I totally get the whole promising you'll test more.. that was quite something! I felt so ashamed every time I went back!! Recently I have been getting my mind and body into routine in many other ways, and a lot of stuff has come second nature to me now. I want to try get blood tests to be part...

Yeah that's an idea I may try, see how that works for me for a week or 2. Visually seeing it may be of some benefit to me, I learn better visually and remember things that way too so it may be of some use to me. I have now asked my GP (who is wonderful and extremely patient with me) to refer me...

I always get so anxious when speaking about myself, as I know that people may look at me and think why on earth are you complaining about your results when it seems you're not doing much to help yourself, for me mentally I find it really hard to get myself to just do it, forcing myself causes me...

Hiya! Thanks for link, I've been taking a look, nice to know I'm not alone, scary how someone feels that similar! Appreciate this :)

Yeah it can be overwhelming. I find it really hard to cope with diabetes, depression and anxiety, I find that they make a toxic mix.. It's like someone giving you a drink that's spiked, it just doesn't end well for me. But I admit, and I have to give myself credit for how far I have come, and I...
