Recently I’ve found to be needing at least ten injections a day. Some days it doesn’t have much effect, I’m very aware there’s so many different factors that affect sugars but it’s becoming tiring injecting all the time. I definitely can say this isn’t my best controlled time in 12 years and my...

I get that often when I have a bad infection. First of all don't panic! When you're unwell your body needs more insulin because your liver kicks out more glucose into your blood which is why you're seeing these very high levels. So it's a good idea to slightly higher your insulin doses with your...

That's an example of a day where it was completely off. The sensor said i was a 20 but then came back to 14 which my glucose sensor was saying all along. I've been made aware of it sometimes goes overly high when it's over a certain amount but that's way off.

Never knew that was a thing if I'm honest. I've definitely had it happen several times!

This is an example

Hiya everyone. Just a quick one to see if anyone is having the same issue. My libre sensor keeps giving me the wrong results (3 sensors in total now). I understand Vitamin C supplements impair the sensor but this is now after a week without taking them I'm still having issues. Last night it said...

Very quick question. Can minor neuropathy affect driving. At what point do I have to consider not driving? Thank you

I am having weird tingling in my toes, no pain but it's a weird feeling like something is stuck between my toes. Anyway I'm having an appointment regarding this.

Thank you for everyone's replies. My HBAC1 has been a lot higher for the past year, the last one was 60mmol which is high for me. I used to hit around 49 to 54 easily. That was my concern for driving.

Hello just a quick simple question. What does your hba1c have to be to drive in the UK or is it measured of that? The rules are confusing.

I am having an appointment soon as well. Hope all goes well with yours x

It Depends on your insulin but 2 hours is the usual guideline

So I think I potentially might have some issues with my feet. So recently I've been unwell and my Bm's have been on the higher side. I've had some of these symptoms for years but not really fully acknowledged them until now. Sometimes I feel like I've got something stuck between my toes...

Thank you!! I've been here before, it's just a long frustrating journey to get back to good again.

So just needing to get this off my chest. I'm having an awful time with this lovely condition lately. So for years I've not been the perfect diabetic but I used to be able to achieve HCA1s of 49 percent which is almost non Type 1 level. Since I contracted COVID early 2022 I've not been able to...
