It is as mentioned here before important to know if you are type 1 or 2. In my opinion, speaking as a type one for a very long time, if it is type 2 you are lucky to be I a position where changes in diet and lifestyle can get you off insulin and that way take away the risks involved with hypos...

Agree with all of this- and now I think there is more interest in the trigger stress, or like you mention allergic reaction triggering immune system, can have. To prevent my daughter to develop type1, I have had this in mind ,it’s not possible to stop stress some times, like when stung by bees -...

I remember being told genetically it often skips a generation, which is meaning grandkids are more likely to inherit it. When I read the latest magazine in the waiting room at the clinic this year - there was an article I found very interesting. It said if the mother ( which is me in my case)...

I find it very confusing that they say to do it flat- and that you have not been given alternate sites . When I was diagnosed in 1990, underweight after being very very ill with undiagnosed type 1, I was given sheets with drawings of areas to use, and that was to help me vary. my arms were to...

It’s definitely very stable, I have a lot less hypos at night now

That is interesting , because there was a lot of confusion getting it from the chemist. They said it was the pre filled that had been prescribed ( Tresiba) however this was not possible to get , so I am using the reusable. Made sure they were different colours, and with one injection per day the...

I can say Tresiba is definitely better for me, so it’s funny how angry I was that I had to find an alternative and it is actually improving my blood sugar and need to be injected only once- which is excellent!;)

Hello:) All over 40 usually - diabetic or not, end up with presbyopia which means reading glasses are needed. So although it’s true what your nurse said - expect to need reading glasses, but not because of your diabetes . Xx

Thankyou for sharing this! I was diagnosed age 9 in 1990. So not as long as everyone here but feels like a very long time. Now at the point where I am explaining to my daughter who is 12 about how it was for my mum to have a daughter with this, it was not easy, I am very grateful for all my...

I read about Tresiba, and it sounded good- so have decided with my Doctor at Diabetes Centre to go for it. Will start next week, I look forward to only using long acting once a day, hope it turns out good.

If you are not linked to anyone at all by either doing hbac1 there or electronicly ( the libre that shares via a hospital code to the clinic ) this is so so disappointing. How can we feel safe in a system like that? It’s when you are not ok you need that routine appointment so it can be picked...

I think it’s still another 2 years, so not very very urgent

That sounds good with one dose. I am aiming to feel as “free from” the practical sides as possible ( with that I mean the things you physically have to do) and balance the carbs and excersize ( really just walking but a lot in a normal day as my job is not sitting much) to make it work . I have...

I have to say it’s amazing, a total game changer . People diagnosed today don’t know how lucky they are having this available . Best of luck!

I will definitely ask to try this, Thankyou ! It sounds good.Do you use it once or twice a day?
