I tend to snack much more when I am off work, when I am at work (I work in a nursery) I don’t have time to snack so I only have breakfast then lunch and dinner. So at work between 8 and 3:30 I only eat lunch (unless I go hypo). Sorry if I am not reading your wording right; is exercising good...

Yes, maybe you are right. Maybe I feel in a rut because my body is still recovering. I’ll keep eating healthier and doing what I do to try and maintain and not gain. Then I’ll think about the rest. My levels are much better than they were but still settling down sometimes. I also have a cold...

I was eating generally a healthier diet and exercising lots, but now I’m not even sure if that was working because I was healthy eating/exercising or because of the ketones? My exercise routine is the same as what I did then, I was going for low calorie though. Thanks for the replies guys :)...

thanks, will check it out. Yes, I am aware that it is high carb but those are just the things I like, not what I eat on a daily basis :) I have lowered the amount of bread and potato things I eat, and try eat more salad stuff at lunch and snacks - not sure what veg are high carb or not.

Thank you KK123. I really want to give the low carb diet a try and see if I have any luck shedding a few lbs. Id be happy to get down to 12st and stay at that point, 10 at a push if I can. for breakfast today I had a cheese omelette with baked beans and streaky bacon and decided to not have...

I’m not sure of my BMI but I am 88kg (13st 8lbs) and 5’2.

Hi all, Since diagnosis I’ve gained about 9/10lbs in weight back on, (diagnosed 14th Feb’18) now im not sure if that’s just muscle weight building back up or not. The year leading up to diagnosis i had lost 4 1/2 stone. But because I was already on a diet and going to the gym etc it didn’t...

Late reply but I’ve recently been placed on Abasaglar, I’m a newly diagnosed and on 24U. I have the same issue, I have to inject slowly as it stings so much. Sometimes it can be stinging up to half an hour later and gives me a red mark on my stomach. I’ve heard that insulin cold stings but my...

I do quite a lot of cardio I think. The current plan I’ve got which I’ve had for a while is doing: 10 mins treadmill, 10 mins elliptical, 800M alternating normal pace then fast rowing machine, Then 500m fast sprint on rowing machine, 15 mins stationary bike, 25 reps of stomach crunch...

Oh really? Okay, I’ll try that [emoji4] Thanks x

No DKA, just was drinking excessive amounts of water and my boyfriend advised me to get checked out, I had a blood test and the next day I got sent to hospital to get insulin immediately. I did have ketones of 3, but wasn’t unwell or anything[emoji848]

When I was a teenager I was slightly anaemic but just had to take liquid iron medicine bought from the shops but as I got older it went away. I’m only 22 and obviously recently diagnosed, I lost 4 1/2 stone in weight in 10 months leading up to my diagnosis and was always tired then but now...

I’ve been type 1 for about 6 weeks now, and though my levels have settled down a lot since the start, I just constantly always feel tired. I haven’t got consistently high blood sugar like I did before. For the most part they are within range. Is this a ‘normal’ thing or something I should...

Just having one of those nights tonight, it’s currently 2:24am, I fell asleep around 11pm, and it feels like I have constantly been drifting in and out of sleep for hours and hours, it seems like it should be atleast 5/6am already; but nope! It’s only 2:30. Feelig slightly sick and have a...

Thank you for the replies, I’ll try drink lots and do what I usually do to help a cold, is there certain meds I should stay away from? I started feeling groggy and stuffy with a scratchy throat today (my other half had the cold a few days ago) and my levels at the moment have been stabilised...
