Yeah the day after, aside from being less sore than the first time, I felt quite 'hollow' because I'm assuming that all of my stored sugar/glyogen was used up. It takes a lot of energy to lift my 120kg ass up a wall. It's tiring but really good, I like the mental side as well as the start/stop...

So I need to loose weight and do some exercise and I did some indoor climbing / bouldering with a friend while on holiday. I was wrecked but it was good exercise. I found a local place and did it again and was less wrecked. So that's good. My main concern is footwear/feet care. There seems to...

Interesting. I'm also being investigated for this and had an MRI of my pituitary. It has resulted in tiredness and severe depression.

I'm on lantus and novorapid. I tend to wake with higher blood sugars so last night I tried upping my lantus a little - I apparantly thrashed during the night and awoke with pounding headache - I guess I was hypo. So that's the end of my lantus experiment. =( Still feel tired. Had bloodwork...

I feel tired all the time. It started ages ago but has been getting worse. I've had my thyroid checked and my thyroxine doubled. Most days my limbs feel tired and I yawn a lot. Infact I could sleep right now. I have been off ill but now my GP says that we need to observe. I'm getting a bit...

This sort of rubbish is why I won't waste time or money applying for one. Even if I get one higher insurance and having to reknew every 3 years is silly!

Been playing Deus Ex Human Revolutions and Spacemarine on the PC. Also re-playing Baldurs Gate and Vampire the Masquerade:Redemption.

Get thee to a specialist team ASAP

Hi Robert - I was diagnosed at 22 as well. I remember feeling 'empty' as opposed to 'hungry' for quite some time. It takes time to adjust. You will have good days and a bad days. If you still feel hungry a lot and notice you're gaining weight and have no energy get yourself a THYROID FUNCTION...

Re: diabetes and driving licences. The best questions on the form are along the lines of Diabetes Type : 1[] 2[] How is your diabetes controlled insulin[] diet [] tablets [] (tick type 1 and tablets to confuse them!) If you are Type 1 have you **** EVER **** suffered from a hypoglycemic...

Tests: Creatinine and Electrolytes - essentiall the protein in your blood to check if your kidneys work Liver Profile - checks if liver works Thyroid Function - measures Thyroid stimulating hormone and free T3 (I think or T4), as often type 1's autoimmunity decides to eat the thyroid a bit...

Well done :-)

Essentially no insulin means that your body digests part of itself rapidly to get energy this produces toxins in the form of Ketones (a type of molecule with a C=O bond group - like acetone (hence why its called acetone)), meanwhile there's usually high bloodsugar resuling in lowering potassium...

I just lost my post :evil: The point was: if there was a guy in a wheelchair and you said 'oh im afraid of wheelchairs/dont like them/whatever' should the head then lock the wheelchair user away for lunchtime lest it offend others? You have the RIGHT to take your insulin, the paired...

Funnily enough I've been thinking about this recently. This link (diabetes.org.uk) has something along those lines. The test would be if a Type 1 diabetic got HIV/AIDs and their insulin production started up again as the compromised immune system wouldn't be able to attack the 'foreign...
