Oh girl, you are not the only one. I've been a type one for about 13 years, on an omnipod for about a year and honestly even i haven't figured out the hormone thing! If you have a pod, I'd suggest about a 25% increase in your basal rate and give the hormones whatever they want just so long as...

Thanks so much everyone. I'm about to start the final year of my degree so I need to get my house in order so I can focus on that. Hoping to have some sort of handle on things by the time I start back at the end of September. Gives me 2 months of absolute focus on the pod. It can't be any worse...

Hi All, I feel like a kid at christmas. You know that feeling, when your control is nil and you just need action to take back control of your sugars? Well action finally happened and i'm prepping to get my pod a week tomorrow. 2016 has been THE WORST. 12 years with Diabetes before it really...

Hi All, Thankyou for your words of encouragement. A bad night turned into a bad week and I've been trying to turn it round. It's good to have a place to vent or find comfort. I really appreciate it.

Thanks very much to all for the info. I'll have a read and fingers crossed give you an update when I see the consultant in June!

Thanks Aaishah, I thought there would have been more response from Liverpool but maybe I need to try a different approach. Thanks for the message tho :)

Still awake and slowly climbing back up the blood sugar ladder. I know these numbers probably don't mean much to most, but their ruling/ruining my life and I'm tired and I'm angry and so utterly at a loss. I feel so alone.

Thanks!

Hi, I've been type 1 for 12 years this August and so far have managed without ever knowing another diabetic my age. Recently I've been struggling and I'd like to meet someone around my age that understands what it is to be type 1 day to day. I realise this is a bit of a strange request but I...

Hi all, I've not posted properly before, I'm 26, T1, 11 years. So that's a little about me. My diabetes has changed a bit over the past few years, I didn't used to test my Sugars much but over the last 6-12 months I've been testing a lot more and even invested in a freestyle libre to get a...
