Hi Gemma, thank you for your lovely message. I have seen a psychiatrist myself however it wasn't successful, I kind of had the revelation to take my insulin again myself. When I lost weight I was a lot happier, having said that food was a big part of my time I.e. Planning what to eat etc...

I have noticed that protein does crank my sugars up. Today is a new day and I am going to record what I am eating and see if that makes things better. Thank you for your help!

Maybe I will have a look into that! Thanks jack! Hi Abbie, I think stress of uni most properly does, also my blood sugars go up when I exercise which doesn't help. I do drink but haven't much recently, and if I do I always have vodka with diet mixers. I have had 4 shots of the injection now...

No bmi is just done in a calculator online. I usually have 2 eggs, 2 slice of bacon and maybe half an avocado for breakfast, then a snack of nuts, (I eat alot of nuts :/ could go through a 200g bag in one day!) then lunch is usually vegetables (like cucumber, courgette low carb ones) with...

Yes it came back as 8.4

I've been having around 30g max I'd say. This is where I get confused because on low carb high fat I will eat loads and not gain but never loose, and when I did restrict and count calories I still didn' loose! I wear size 12, sometimes a 14 (my booty gets in the way!) see I want to be lean and...

Yeah I use my fitness pal every now and then, maybe my protein is too high, I have been having protein shakes after my runs as I have been training for a race ...maybe I'll try this ratio! Thanks

But LCHF isn't even getting me the results I want. I did it for over 4 months and only lost two pounds ...

I'm 6ft 2 weighing 12st 8, so my bmi is 22.7, which I know isn't high but my lowest weight when I dieted was 11st 8. My sugar levels on average I would say are 7/8. My last blood test came back as 8.4 not my best. The nurse wasn't too pleased. Having said that when I wasn't looking after...

Hi, I have been type one since 2011 diagnosed at 17 years old. In my first year of being diagnosed I gain over a stone and a bit due to having to treat numerous hypos over the honey moon period. Once this had ended I began the dangerous slope of avoiding insulin in attempt to loose weight. I...

Hi, So sorry if this is a little TMI but recently it seems I have one health problem after the other, not only do I have IBS but recently I was diagnosed with BV (bacterial vaginosis) in which I am taking anti-biotics and today it seems I have the start of a UTI (serious burning sensation when...

Hi, I am a 20 year old student who was diagnosed at 17. I am really struggling with getting myself together recently after loosing nearly a stone and a half,I have now gained half a stone. I find myself binge eating after a day of dieting. Also I find it a struggle again testing sugars etc ...

Hi, Basically I lost 2 stone last year, partly due to insulin neglect and the other to a low carb diet and exercising properly. However recently I have gained half a stone and counting in the past 3 months. I was on the implant and changed pills numerous contraceptive pills which made my sugars...

Hi all, I am currently a diabetic student studying at the Illustration at university. For my next project I want to do a short animation dispelling the myths of diabetes and also giving advice on what diabetes actually is and the reasons why people have it. I was wondering if any of you could...

Hi, I have been diabetic for two years now and I went through a rough stage of not taking my insulin but have been back on track for a couple of months now! Only problem is I am finding the cold weather are making my sugars rise big time! I am now going back into double figures?! Its annoying as...
