Thank you noblehead. I'll have a look!

I can have anything from a meal with 30g carbs to 130g (this was when I was trying to follow slimming world and eating a lot of fruit, but that plus a correction dose resulted in me taking 32units!). I currently weigh 11st 6lb which is on the higher end of my normal BMI, I'm hoping to lose 20lb...

I've got another appointment for injections on the 26th January, apparently they'll do them both on that day (I didn't think they'd do both eyes on the same day?!). But my vision test shows they've both improved and have 6/9 vision in both. This also means I can finally get back to work after...

Being a paediatric diabetes specialist nurse would be my dream job too! I'm currently a paediatric staff nurse on a medical specialities ward. Feel free to message me if you were thinking of going down the nursing career route.
