I would love to have done my HGV but had to be content with getting my 7.5t bits back on my licence. However, you still had to have yearly medicals and had C and D categories withdrawn because I couldn't provide evidence of the required testing. Obviously it would be easier now with the Libre...

Thank you for that.

Do you need the transmitter? Can you download an app to your phone and just use that? I understand you get a transmitter but wondered if when it runs out if you can just use a phone app? Thanks for your reply

Thank you for the reply. Do you find it better than the Libre/Miao Miao set up?

Hi everyone, Has anyone got any updated information re the costs? I'm thinking of swopping from Libre to Dexcom as need alarms. I know about Miao Miao but not purchased is this a better option combined with Libre compared to the Dexcom G6? Thanks

Safely tucked up in the garage but give me a sunny dry day and it will be out :)

Good article, thanks for pointing it out.

Lots of cheap ladies bike stuff on facebook marketplace and ebay at the moment so you don't have to spend a fortune to get kitted out. If she doesn't like it then you won't have spent too much. I've got new bike now so spent the last 6 months replacing bits of kit that have deteriorated, my...

As I suspect we might be a similar age you can apply to get your C and D categories put back on. However, you have to have a medical, support from your diabetic consultant and you have to test at least twice a day. There is no leeway, that I have been made aware of, for having the odd day off...

I fell over and broke my leg whilst going into work, in the staff car park, I think I'll not bother with work anymore if that happens. Now riding horses is not dangerous at all :)

I presume these people who are recently diagnosed are still producing some insulin so it could work, however, I believe it gets you in the end! Personally I'm trying to have less carbs and it is helping maintain better control but then I have pizza or do some strenuous work and it all goes to...

Hi ISU, You have made the first step by simply writing your post on here. I am sure there are lots of people who will offer advice, it is worth reading and seeing if you can make it work for you. I've been diabetic for over 30 years and the people around me still don't know much about...

Why don't you print out one of the leaflets or articles from this site and give it to them. That way it provides some education and may adjust their opinion. As a longstanding Type 1 I have forgotten the amount of times I have heard comments like this.

You can get yr C & D categories back but have to pass a medical and yr consultant has to complete a questionnaire. You also have to demonstrate regular blood testing over a 3 month period. I got my licence reinstated but then lost them on the annual reassessment because I had gaps in my...

Not sure I understand why he needs to be disciplined. Its not ideal to eat the wrong types of things but at least he is adjusting because of it. You read lots of posts on here and social media of adults who are just not taking insulin because they can't be bothered. I think the parents need...
