Hi diaket, yes I’m due for an appointment at my DSN in 2 weeks so I’ll get talking to them properly then. I’m just about doing enough to keep me a float at the minute but even talking to people that understand it makes you feel better :)

Hi Nicole, yes I’ve massive family support who are helping with everything bar diabetes. I’m the only diabetic in my family so nobody quite understands how it can make you feel worse? Drinking.... I’m drinking out with friends at home ect it’s I’m just drinking too much even for a none diabetic...

Thanks for reply, great to hear you are on the mend now! I feel I will have a long way to go yet but your positive outcome has giving me hope :)

Hi folks, hopefully this is on the right thread? Well I’ve been going threw a tuff time recently and I’m on the verge of diabetes burnout. I’ve never burnt out before but I feel I’m coming extremely close to it. I’m drinking a lot of alcohol trying to void my feelings. I’m really looking people...

I’m on nova rapid and lantus at night time, hopefully I will be made to do a course rather than a swift “punishment” and losing my license as it is a one off and I’ve very well controlled. Going to lay off the alcohol either way.

Hi there, yes definitely a seizure along with a hypo [emoji20] I’m thinking the hypo has brought it on because there’s seems to be a lot of ppl commenting similar. I had no foam at the mouth or anything like that. I clammed up and unresponsive. My hands went stiff like I was temporarily...

Hi there, I’m type one 22 years so I do attend a diabetic clinic. I haven’t need assistance for a hypo in many many years. Only when I end up too drunk and can’t feel anything and forget to test. I was just caught out last night unfortunately [emoji20] I do have a drink each weekend and don’t...

Hi all, I’ve had my 1st hypo related seizure last night. Very scary for both my partner and I :(. What happened was I had a drink because I had today off work and with the great weather. I got up for work at 5:30 am got home from work at 5:45pm had my dinner then spent 2 hours 30 mins...

Hi all, just an update. I had proper eye tests done Saturday at specsavers and all clear! No maculapathy! My eyes are in great health. What a relief that was, and I’ve only a very very slight dot in each eye “aneurism” so nothing leaking nothing needing surgery ect what a relief.

Hi Jim, thanks for reply. The dot is only there when I blink if that makes sense? My vision seems clear other wise? Had my eyes checked by my optician and both eyes nearly 20/20 no need for glasses either, type 1 22 years

Hi jaylee, thanks for the reply. Do you have to sign a waiver before treatment Incase treatment doesn’t work? And how is your eye/eyes now after treatment? My small dot has dramatically got smaller to a point now it comes and goes, but seems to not be there at all when my sugars are around 9/10...

My hba1c is 6.1 and has been in non diabetic range for a number of years, I’ve lost some weight and my doctor doesn’t seem happy about it? I don’t wear glasses for anything my eyes are in great shape otherwise I don’t smoke either but I’m particularly worried about it as you can imagine....

Hi all, I had changed to my eyes around 3 years ago, then went to retinapathy now “possible” maculapathy :( I’m due for an appointment next month with eye specialist. Thankfully only one eye and only “possible”. I’m looking to know has anybody got the all clear? Or how treatment went? My eye...

Hi thanks for reply, yes I'm totally aware it's not compulsory to have life insurance for buying a home, it's more to the fact I earn quite a bit more than my wife so I'm the main income, we also have 3 young children so it's more so to protect my family if I happen to die young or get a...

Hi thanks for the reply, I've found an insurance broker here in Northern Ireland and they are keen to get me insurance. I was holding back a bit until I got speaking to my mortgage advisor again today and he's adamant that I won't get insurance because "if you had cancer you wouldn't get life...
