Hi! I’m 19 and I’ve had diabetes for 6 years now and I’m a first year uni student. I’d love to take part and help in any way I can :)

It’s okay, my team encourages that we do it ourselves, in fact I often get told off for not doing it. They’ll be pleased I’m making some changes!

Thank you for your help :) I already have multiple Basal settings but am going to try and change some things in the upcoming week!

Thank you! I use nova rapid insulin in my pump, I’m going to try basal testing tomorrow to set a foundation and start changing things :)

That’s a good idea I’m going to start tomorrow :)

For my levels during the day I would completely agree with this explanation. But I’d normally eat around 8ish and have fast acting insulin then but won’t have anymore till morning, everything else is just the basal in the background. I also dont treat the hypers before bed because I know it...

Hi, I’ve had this struggle for a while now and I’m still unsure on why it’s happening Please ignore the awful blood sugars I’m working on trying to fix it. But for whatever reason my blood sugar seems to go down massively during the night and it never stays steady. I don’t know why this...

Hi! I’m Lucy and I’m 18 yrs old, u can dm me if ur still looking :) (Mod edit)

I’ve had mine for over a year now and I love it! At first I did notice it quite a lot (but who wouldn’t it is a massive lump on ur belt)! I’ve never used anything to clip it onto I’ve just clipped it onto my clothes and never really had a problem with that. With sleeping I used to keep it...

I too myself do love a snack. To stop myself from snacking so often I have 4 meals a day!! Obviously the 4th meal isn’t massive but I will have it when I get home from school and it stops me from snacking without insulin :)

Hi all, I’m currently still in the children’s outpatients as I’m only 16. I just wanted to ask a question on whether or not you change your carb ratios or basal rates at home by yourself, without the help of a doctor. Or does your doctor do it? I have noticed while being on this site, if I am...

Yes this could help however a low could take up to 20 minutes to cure and if your exam is not very long then you will not get enough extra time. I know of exams that only give you 15 minutes extra time, which just isn’t enough time. It will also cause you to rush.

Hi, I am also a student currently in year 11 doing their GCSEs next week! I have a stop the clock so if I’m feeling low I am able to ‘stop the clock’ and treat it otherwise it’s unfair on me. However so far I currently have never used this as I find it better just to prevent it all together. I...

Why do you need to? I’ve seen many supportive people on this app which could benefit anyone

I never said it was but it’s better than what we had before and leads us to be one step closer.
