I was diagnosed with Type 1 May 2019 and I'm still in my honeymoon phase. There's been some signs where I've thought that I'm out of it but nope. Still going strong a year later ha ha

Yeah same. The statistics are too high to just risk it and go back. I've only been out to exercise during this lockdown. My Husband has been doing the food shop etc so I don't have to. Seems silly to just now go back to work!

I'm in a similar situation. I work in a primary school and have been off with a Dr's note which is expiring on the 12th. I asked my nurse for advise on returning and she asked my specialist who asked my specialist and he gave the go ahead to be back in a classroom which I thought was strange. I...

Thank you! 1 whole year! And yeah I'm just gonna see how it goes really. And regarding the sinusitis I've had 2 lots of antibiotics but it just keeps coming and going. Very annoying! But my boss seems very understanding as there are a few others needing to social distance with asthma etc. We'll...

Yeah I had asked last week after reading about the new statistics. I was honestly expecting them to say stay at home as when all this shielding stuff came out I never got a letter but when I asked my nurse she said yes I'm in that group of people. My specialist said there's not enough advice to...

I work in a primary school as a 1 on 1 TA and just before the lockdown I contacted a Dr who told me I should be working from home for 12 weeks which is due to end soon. I contacted my nurse who then contacted my specialist to find out what I should do regarding returning to work and I was told...

I was looking at that last night. I think I've placed my sensor in an awkward part of my arm as it seems to be lifting up at the sides. I think it'll last the next week. I should maybe get some in case. Thanks

I'll have a look! Thanks

Hi. I've just been given the go ahead for Libre funding which I am super happy about. I've done a 2 week trial previously and now I have started my actual prescription. I'm just wondering what people use to keep it stuck down? I was really careful when I had my trial and it never came off but...

I've signed up for next years Great North Run! Me and My Husband are doing it together! How exciting! Will keep you all updated. And of course I'm running for Diabetes UK

At the minute I'm just running 3 miles as I've just upped it from 2 miles. My main aim at first was running 1 mile in a decent time and then once I was happy with that my Husband suggested running further so I am upping my mileage once I am comfortable and can do it easily. A diary is a good...

Will have a look! Thanks!

At the minute I just have 3 units of Toujeo and then 1 unit of NovoRapid with breakfast and 2 units with dinner and tea (sometimes 3 if my levels are above 10) but I'm still in the honeymoon stage. I was on more insulin but I keep having hypos so trying to adjust until I'm out of it. I find...

Hi, I've been a Type 1 since May this year. I've always been active, I currently do pole dancing which I've done for a few years and I've started running again since finding out I'm Diabetic. I've been thinking about working towards doing a half marathon. I'm just wondering if anyone here has...

Is it normal to feel guilt too? I feel really guilty for worrying people like my Husband and my Mum? My Children are too young to properly understand but I feel really bad for bringing it into the Family (even though I know I haven't done anything to cause this)
