Hi, Yes I think it probably was the cramp as it did spasm for what felt like forever (probably was only a few minutes)! Weirdly though when I have cramp and spasms any other time the pain doesn't seem to last as long but I suppose it will be something to do with the lack of glucose as well :)...

Hi guys, Odd question, on Saturday morning I woke up with terrible cramp in my right calf, after this had passed it became apparent to me I was in a hypo, I tested my bloods and they were 3. My right calf was then painful and stiff for the next 2 days. I just wondered if this has happened...

Hi everyone, I was just after a bit of advice as I've tried google but for once can't find an answer! I currently use a Guardian link 2 Sensor as a CGM with my Medtronic pump. I am trying to connect this sensor to my phone and subsequently to my Apple Watch (series 4). I have downloaded the...

Hi, How did your night out go? :) I am 21 (been diabetic since I was 10) and I have found alcohol really is trial and error, I seem to have found a good way of dealing with alcohol (I think!) although I don't really drink much anymore: Always make sure you eat a good carby meal before starting...

Hi, im 21 and was diagnosed 11 years ago :)

Hi all, Hope you may be able to help me! On diabetes day this year (14th November) I am planning on adding something to our intranet at work to try and help raise awareness. I need some material or links that I can put in my article that will attract attention whilst being an easy read so...

Hi all, I was diagnosed with type 1 when I was 10. I am now 20. My diabetes has never been what I would describe as ‘well controlled’ as much as I have tried. I am on a pump and a sensor but have frequent hypos and also frequent highs. I have just been told I have peripheral neuropathy in...

Hi all, In February I am going abroad for the first time (I'm 19 and people struggle to believe that, but its true!) I am type 1 diabetic on an insulin pump. I was just wondering if anyone has any advice, I know I've got to take plenty of supplies, and I understand I need to get a letter from my...

Hi all thanks for your lovely messages and advice. The general consensus seems to be that it could be a problem with my nerves. I did have nerve studies done on my feet a couple of years ago, as I have numbness in the bottom of my right foot but as far as I'm aware nothing came of it. When I...

Hi all, Just wanting a bit of advice and to hear if anyone has had a similar experience as me. On Friday I had a 2 hour hypo. Started around 6am and didn't hear pump alarm until 7.30 (which is a separate issue). I spent the day being completely out of it and sleeping, but the main issue is my...

Hi all, haven't been on the forum for a while but could really do with some advice! In mid April I went for a run and when I came back I had a wheezy cough which progressed and ended up in me not being able to breathe or talk. My partner ended up calling an ambulance and I was rushed into resus...

Hi Chloe, I'm also a Chloe ( the best people are ;) ) I'm 18 years old and have been diabetic since I was 10. I am now on a insulin pump but when I used to inject I used to have people staring at me (adults more than children) and I used to be made to inject in my primary school toilet so i...

hi! im also 17, been diabetic for 7 years! wouldn't say im new to the forum but have just come back after nearly 5 years of not posting! i think it feels very isolating being this age with type 1, and it is rare you meet anyone the same age with diabetes, but I see there are some of us around!

Has this come up before do you know?? Is it common in diabetics?

I applied for my driving license in the January of this year, and only received a decision in august! terrible service which I was highly irritated at. I rang many times and often got as rude response telling my I 'did not understand' how it worked and they would not tell me what was happening...
