Hi all, This is all really useful information. I have a call with my DNS nurse later today as I have filled her in on the results. I will make sure that I do the research once I have spoken with the doctor and then make a decision as to whether I take any extra medication. Thanks for the...

Hi Maisie, I am new to Diabetes and am also a Type 1, only found out in July of last year and I am 39yrs old, so was a shock. I am lucky to have a work force that understand that I need to inject to keep me safe and they are great with it. You should never feel that you have to hide it away, it...

Thank you so much, that has put my mind at ease slightly, I am assuming that this is something that happens to most diabetics. I was so worried that I have been doing something wrong. My doctors I am pretty sure have the online system, I will give them a call tomorrow to find out how I can get...

It was in the normal range of 4.5 and they were not worried about it at all and that was only back a year ago I think.

I was diagnosed as a Type 1 in July last year. I have been doing so well and have brought my Hba1c down from 127 at diagnosis to 44 in November. However, I visited my GP on Monday for my routine check up and foot check, all good but they told me I needed a blood test to check my Cholesterol...

Hi, I seem to have picked up a cold and I wondered if it is normal to suffer low levels while you have a cold? What is the best course of action for this if it is normal. I have only been diagnosed as type 1 for just over a month now so I am still learning and experiencing new problems as I go...

Hi all, Thought that I would update you all, the night went really well and the Script were amazing, so glad that I went. My levels seemed to stay under control and I made sure that I checked them as soon as I got in the car and then when I got home. I had a couple of biscuits before I went to...

Thanks for all your help guy's. I feel much better about it now and I know that I am not taking too much of a risk if I end up taking the Lantus later than normal. I always carry my BG checker and low kit around with me everywhere that I go so I should be ok. I am off to see the Script...

Hi, thanks for this. It is the first time I will going out and I don't plan making a habit of it. I will see how I go and I may find that I can dose myself during a break but it does all depend on where I will be in the hall. The time I take my Lantus at night works really well as it is...

I will be there from around 4.30pm this afternoon, doors open at 7pm. I have a plan for my queing time, will be getting something to eat that is slightly higher in carbs for while I wait just to be on the safe side. It is just the Lantus dose that I am worried about as I don't know if I would be...

Hi, I have only been diagnosed a month now with Type 1, I am on Novo rapid and also Lantus at night. I am supposed to be going to a concert tonight but I am worried about when I should take my Lantus Insulin, I normally take it at 9pm every night but I think that I will be right in the swing of...

Hi, I'm new to all this too, I was diagnosed on Monday with Type 1. My levels are also all over the place they are ranging from 13.8-25.8. I am on tablets until tomorrow when I find out if I need insulin, pretty sure I will. If you do find some ways of bringing your levels down would you mind...

Thanks so much for the hug at the moment they are most definitely needed. The doctors have put me on Glicazide twice a day, when I went to the doctors on Monday my reading was 21, but as I was not feeling ill they said that they would put on the tablets until I could get a proper appointment...

Thanks for replying, my BG readings have been ranging from 13.8-25.6 I am reading up on a lot of things but it is a big information overload and I am quite nervous about tomorrow and the whole insulin area of it, but thanks for the re-assurance on the insulin pen. I have a list of questions...

Hi there, I was diagnosed with Type 1 on Monday this week, great shock and completely unexpected as i'm 39 only 11 stone and work full time so am active all day. I am currently on tablets to try and bring my levels down until my appointment tomorrow where I will find out my other test results...
