I definitely hope so! Thanks for the reply (:

For any horse riders out there, do you know how diabetes can affect horse riders insurance costs? I am currently setting up a share in a horse, and the riders insurance was advised, so can anyone fill me in? Thanks x

Check it out with your hospital, but I had a similar thing and they called it the dawn phenomenon. It is all to do with when you eat and stuff like that.

Hi! Trust me, you're not alone. I thought I was the only one until I found this discussion, so thank you! It is really hard. I have been a diabetic for just over two years, and my blood sugars have recently been a little chaotic, but are starting to come back under control, however, I am eating...

I am thinking of going on a pump, but I am not sure. I have had some problems with keeping my blood sugars in range at the moment, and have been advised to start on a pump by the children's clinic I attend. They say It will improve my control, and I get stomach pains from my injections...

I'm on insulin pens, so maybe pump is good? I just don't really like the idea of having a tube and needle stuck in my side! I sounds a bit uncomfortable, but I guess you get used to it. I did ask at the hospital today, and they say I should do continuous blood monitoring for a few days. I guess...

Hi, I have almost had t1 for 2 years now, and it still don't have perfect control. I am currently having heaps of problems overnight, and my blood sugars are on a roller coaster that ranges between 2.4 mmols and 21.5 mmols! I used to have almost perfect control, and barely ever went above an...

Hi, I wondered if this had I happened to anyone? I have no idea what to do? Go to bed (22:00) blood sugar = 5.5 Night testing (1:00) blood sugar = 7.6 In the morning blood sugar = 21.5 This is happening every night, how can I help?

Hi, I'm about the same age as you are! I guess we go through the same sort of thing. When you are at school, do you tell your classmates about your diabetes/do they know about it? I haven't told people, so if they see me blood test, they get really surprised. Do you think I should have told...

I have thought about your theory and I don't think they link or anything, but I will look up everything that people have said, because I am a little fed up of this depressing feeling! (As you can expect!) ;) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Wow, that practically exactly what happens to me! I am proud of being healthy, but you know there are still temptations... Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thank you so much x As I said, one of my friends is great, the other just messes everything up. :( I know what you feel about not understanding and stuff, because even though my mum is the best and really supportive, but I leave the house at 7:15 every morning and get back around 5:00 I also...

Oh, and meditation sounds really good!!!! I used to almost every day, but I dropped it when I started getting a homework overload, but I have more time now so I need to start up with that again x Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thanks, and about the friends. One of my friends is really nice and very understanding, but doesn't really get the fact that I find it irritating when she does eat really good but un healthy foods, but she doesn't really eat as much stuff as my other friend. She is not exactly a friend, she just...

About once a month I have a bit of a mental breakdown about my diabetes. I just have a day when I am running really high or something like that, and I just collapse because I am a really ambitious person and I have got to admit that I get very frustrated when my blood sugar is above 9! I also...
