Hi, I want to give myself a kick start in losing weight as i've piled the pounds on since I had a couple of rough patches meant increasing insulin doses therefore increasing my waistline. I am currently using Metformin to try and get my doses down and my numbers in control but it's not...

Diabetes and Depression are connected and with all that we have to deal with it's understandable. I suffer from Depression and was put onto a low dose of Fluoxetine which has helped me greatly. I was also given access to a Diabetic Psychologist, I don't know if this is something available in...

Thanks for the information that has been a big help. She hasn't had an official diagnosis but she will probably get GTT, this is what I assumed would happen as well. She is just a natural born worrier.

Hi, I have a friend who is just over 28 weeks pregnant and was told yesterday that as she had a fasting blood of 5.4 yesterday she will have to go to the diabetes clinic. As a type 1 diabetic 5.4 to me is amazing :) but in GD terms is this very high? is she likely to have GD?? she is a larger...

Has this happened to anyone else? I can't seem to keep anything down my stomach is sore all the time and I'm miserable. Does anyone have any advice as to what can get me back on track. I'm not going back into hospital

Hi Adam, I was diagnosed at the same age as you and I too am a chronic binger. I will go as far as making myself sick and get headaches etc but I still want to do it. I was in denial for a very long time and I know diabulimia was also a reason for what I was doing as I was restricting my...

Like others have said don't be too hard on yourself. I have fallen off also, yesterday was not a good day and I felt I needed something to cheer me up.......who's actually made me feel a whole lot worse. I've felt I've achieved something as this has been week 4 of low carbing and I've never...

I'd have loved to have seen them and have looked it up but don't think they do much anymore. I love how they give you a bit of cheese and a bit of rock all at the same time :) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I just bought the Def Leppard Hysteria LP, on the one hand I feel cool as I still buy vinyl, and on the other hand I should hide my face in shame due to my shameful taste in cheesy rock, but I can't help it!!! How can I say no to 'pour some sugar on me'? It's the only sugar I can have :)...
