Oh no! Haha it really is a life saver though

That sounds exactly like me!! I'm sick of looking at lucozade and Gluco tabs I never want to see them or have them again! Lol! At least it's not just me X

Thank you very much! Yes I'm definitely going to have to set one or two alarms during the night! Have a appointment with my diabetic team in a few days so I'll definitely ask them about the insulin adjusting!

The last few weeks I have been getting a lot of hypos! I'm currently 10 weeks into my pregnancy so it's still quite early! I'm finding it very difficult to deal with them, thankfully I have always been able to feel when I'm getting a hypo which does help prevent it going too low at times but I'm...

Not sure if this will be any help to you but I was diagnosed nearly 14 years ago when I was aged 6. To this day I still remember the hardest thing for me personally was that for a long time I didn't know what was actually wrong with me. I was in hospital for 2 weeks and finally when I was well...

Not sure if this will be extremely helpful and I'm not recommending anything but myself and my partner were not planning for a baby so it was a shock when I found out I was expecting my first worry was that my hba1c would not have been low enough I straight away took control and got my blood...

It happened between the ages of 6 and 11, So when I went to the hospital I was told by my doctor that my control was great so I believed that what I was doing was good. That's not really the point in this post though anyways, just warning people, they probably already know but I was very...

@tim2000s @gem09 yes the blood test I get is the fructosamine in the Phlebotomy section of the hospital, it takes about a month to then get the results! Thankfully my diabetes team were very thorough in Ireland and realised what was going on, I have met about 4 other diabetics who did not find...

I previously lived in England and was diagnosed at age 6 with type 1 diabetes ! From the age of 7 to 11 every 3 months I went for my hospital check ups and hba1c's they would always roughly be 7.1 or 7.8 ! Doctors thought this was really great and I was so happy knowing I was doing a great job...

Thanks everyone!

Hi was just wondering does anyone know of a website or does this website sell or send out Diabetes Diarys so that I can log my blood readings and insulin doses for each day? The ones in my hospital are very basic and not great and they are pretty stingey about giving them out lol thanks in...

It was very disheartening to find out that all the hba1c's were false! Just wanted to let people know incase they feel as though this could be the case for them! If they hadn't been so thorough my blood sugars could be all over the place and I would have never known! Luckily they know now and I...

Thank you everyone! I really do need to start living in the present and be thankful for the life I have now, just sometimes I feel diabetes slowly creeps over like a blanket and only after it does do I realise I'm being smothered by thinking about what if and the future! Your words all mean a...

Oh thank you so much that's so unbelievably helpful! Iv been eating a lot more things such as seeds and nuts and chick peas other type of beans etc! I might try stop eating them for a while and see if there's any improvements! Xx

Green tea! I swear by it!
