Thanks for the replies guys, took the key parts from both and stitched them together, big help! Naturally I'm the same I'm great at explaining a lot of stuff but my diabetes isn't one of them [emoji23]

Hey guys and gals, I'm a T1 diabetic and have been for around three months now but I'm only just getting back into the working sector again and getting my life back on track. Now the work place I'm in (CEX) is a great place to be, I'm a huge nerd so it's pretty much my natural habitat... But...

Sorry about the rushed post guys, naturally I'm pretty much half dead from being out of the whole working game in general and because of this, I promise I usually construct grammatically correct sentences, to clarify. About a month after discharge and before I was told to always space my shots...

Hey all, was wondering anyone could help me out with a subject I'm stumped on. So I was diagnosed about two months ago now, and naturally been working my way up from knowing nothing to now being able to keep my bloods in a good range and have a some what normal life. But now I've started...

My personal favourite that seems to pop up on some of the things that were labeled "Diabetic Friendly" was Brown sugar... And melted mars bars [emoji23] but thanks for the recipes, that peanut butter one is ironically something I used to make before I was diagnosed, naturally it was jam packed...

Hey guys!!! So straight to the point... Does anyone have any recipes for biscuits/cookies or anything treat wise?? I swear I spend like half my day scrolling through so called "Diabetic friendly" recipes for things like biscuits and the like... Being Christmas and as such being a holiday...

The feeling rough at around the 5-6 level is normal for someone diagnosed recently in my opinion, I've been Type 1 for just under 3weeks and I can vouch on that part. I was walking around with my bloods in the thirties with severe ketoacidosis, when I was rushed off to the intensive care ward...

Hey Nicole, firstly... Welcome! Secondly, I was diagnosed with Type 1 a little under two weeks ago, and as you can see by the replays you aren't alone here, these guys and gals are great at answering any questions you may have. I'm 20 so not that much older than you, and the diagnosis did hit...

Thanks guys for the support! It's slowly getting there, bloods hardly ever spike into the no go zone and are within the optimal range almost all the time [emoji4] Had a few highs but it's all just trail and error at this stage as I'm about two weeks in (plus I was testing a home made mince pie...

@tim2000s I kinda understand the very basics of it, but not enough to have a positive effect if that makes any sense? Like I said, I was literally (not even joking, wish I was) discharged with a booklet, my pens, no needles for said pens I may add and a very loose and poor understanding of the...

Thanks for all the replays, support and tips guys, greatly appreciated [emoji4] For the people asking yes it is the Basal/bolus regime so I can work my insulin around what I eat, at the moment it's all touch and go with naturally a very steep learning curve for me. Luckily for me however I...

So it's been a week since I was diagnosed with type one diabetes, I'm 20 years of age, and it hit me hard... Always had a sweet tooth and was a big food lover but now it's all about finding out what I can and can't eat, a big learning curve for someone who used to just demolish an entire home...

Thanks guys, greatly appreciated!! [emoji4] At the moment it's a bit touch and go with food, naturally I've burnt through a lot of my natural body fat so I'm trying to gain that back now that Im getting my insulin in me but I'm finding it extremely difficult with all the carbs, things not to...

Just to start off I'm absolutely terrible with forum posts so if this isn't in the right place I whole heartedly apologise... So I was newly diagnosed with T1 Diabetes about three days ago, I'm 20 and live by myself and naturally I can cook the basics but I'm no chef... Was wondering if...
