Hey all, does anyone know of any other websites that sell very low carb products. I usually order these from Carbzone but I have an email it will take 2-3 weeks for them to have stock. https://carbzone.co.uk/collections/best-sellers/products/low-carb-tortilla-large-6x65g Used them quite often...

I was told they did the T1 antibody test while I was in hospital, which were negative. I can't get an appointment with the consultant phone or in person. It does give me some sense of relief that I can seem to control my bloods without any meds right now, though have cut Carb intake by alot...

Hi all. I posted on here at new year. I was admitted to hospital with 3+ Ketones and 26 bloods. IV insulin to bring bloods down and told at the time, not sure which type and was discharged with Insulin. I was meant to see the specialist again but three times cancelled. In August, I had my...

I'm new to this so someone can correct me if I am wrong, from what I've been told it can fluctuate around 0.5 , maybe if you're getting stressed about it that may be why it's going up? Going from 12.5 to 14.3 though that seems strange , where did you get strips ?

Hi all, fairly new to this diagnosed at New year; still unsure which type I am. I am fairly inactive atm as I was out of work due to depression before I got diagnosed. Woke up this morning to fairly high numbers for me at 7.5. I had a bowl of Cheerios and tested two hours later it shown at 7.9...

Wow really? What would I declare on travel insurance etc? Can people with diabetes be treated with just long acting insulin?

Hi all. Was diagnosed at new year with diabetes when I went doctors and she did a test on urine for Ketones. Result was 3.9 and then tested my sugars which were 26. After being in hospital for 3 days, I was discharged being told I'll be treated with insulin as they don't know what type I am...

Yeah I just take 10 units of lantus now. Got the novorapid on standby, but not needed it. It's a weird one too as when I left hospital, I was having blood sugars of maybe 5.5 or 6. I'd still take novorapid even though I had a non carb lunch. But it didn't send my sugars down like it should...

Hey. I have no idea and neither do the nurses what's going on. I am just on the lantus at night time now 10 units. Been off meal insulin for over a week now and numbers in normalish ranges. I'd prefer the tablets as they are meant to help weight loss. The whole month of Jan I didn't lose any...

Hey :). I went for my first appointment and the nurse looked and sounded puzzled. (They still don't know my type) Initially I was told insulin 8 units before food and 10 long acting before bed. When I went to appt, she looked at my numbers and asked what I'd been eating, so example one day...

Hey, I'm sorry for the very late reply. I forgot I posted on this. I see you're type 1. I hope you get the help and support you need from medical professionals and people on here. I have my first appt today so will find out more info, when the woman on the phone told me looks like t2, I'm not...

Hi mate. I know he it feels to be anxious about health, I have depression and anxiety. I was diagnosed with a reading of 26 and Ketoacidosis at new year. No doubt there, as others have said you may or may not be but whatever is meant to be will be. Try not to worry mate i know it's hard but...

Hi all, I'm having issues with my sleeping at the mo and at night / early hours I get peckish. I took my last bloods at 'bed time' last night and they were 7.2, I had chilli and cauli rice for tea. Before 'bed time' I also took my lantus. Last night I gave in and ate a full dark chocolate bar...

I was diagnosed on new years Eve, sent me hospital due to ketones. They did lots of tests and in one instance took ten vials of blood from me. Diabetic nurse came and had a chat, they told me they were going to treat me as type 1 as I shown traits of type 1 and 2, so I left hospital testing...
