Thanks- the message I got did say I can carry on driving for now. So fingers crossed

Hi Sorry if wrong message board, let me know if so and I'll post elsewhere. I've recently discovered that the DVLA didn't know I'm diabetic (T1). Today I informed them via the online form on their website. A series of questions were asked which I answered then got a message saying I'd have a...

I hadn't realised my individual comment feeds appear above, so I've probably flooded your wall with my replies!! I'll stop for now haha :)

Hi sorry for my late reply - if I'm making progress, you definitely are. I haven't tried Novamix, was it giving you problems?

thanks - much appreciated.

thanks, I'm so glad I started posting here as I feel so much better!! :)

Thanks PseudoBob77, I am indeed taking the bull by the horns. Can you suggest a phone app I could download?

Totally agree it's not a death sentence - I view it as a nuisance, but this isn't helpful either of course haha

Thanks again everyone for the replies. It's been almost a week since I last replied and I've been fine, apart from a minor low sugar at the weekend, after a Xmas party. Luckily I recognised the symptoms and sorted it out. Since my first post last week, I've been trying to have a more regular...

Thanks everyone for your quick replies. @lizdeluz - you're right, it has to stop. I hadn't thought about the gassy nature of lucozade. I used to use Dextrosol, I will try them again. Lucozade is sort of a security blanket. @noblehead it has made me feel better. I don't share enough about this...

Hi everyone I'm 30 years old, was diagnosed Type 1 at around 18 months old. When I was a kid and in my early teens I was the doctor's dream - the example they told others about for good diabetes control. Then I became a teenager... I didn't drink heavily as a teen, but as I got older I had...

Hi Thanks for your reply, this is helpful. To be honest I don't check my sugars very often... I was basically dreaming there maybe there's a miraculous 1-injection a day solution which obviously there isn't haha. I don't want to be checking my blood sugars all the time and the current setup...

Hi everyone I often reply to posts on the Facebook page for Diabetes.co.uk but this is first time I've posted on the forum. I wanted to hear about from others who have moved from Novorapid/Lantus Solostar (4 injections a day) to something which doesn't require so many injections. To give a...
