Thanks for your replies all. I am currently completing very short training runs and monitoring myself. A bit more information on me, Im currently Carb Counting on Novarapid (10 to 1) and have Tresiba (35units) as my long lasting. Is this plan not the best for long distance running? Never tried...

Morning All, At the weekend I stupidly signed up to take part in a Marathon next April (Newport). Im an active person in that I play a few sports each week, but in terms of running im a complete novice. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with long distance running and the best way of...

Hi All, ive been type 1 for 3 years now, so its coming up to the renewal date on y 3 year licence. Looking on the DVLA website and it says that renewal papers should have been sent to me 3 months before the expiry date on my licence, but ive received nothing and its now 2 months until it runs...

Hi Everyone, My company want to place me in California for 6 months in the new year, What do I need to be thinking about to get access to insulin, test strips and needles while Im there? Im Type 1. Will I have to pay for them? Do I need to discuss health care and Travel Insurance? This is the...

Hi guys, I want to thank everyone that has posted on here, and thanks so much for the words of support. I have made an appointment to see My doctor and have written a list of things to talk about so I don't forget. I have told lots of My friends what is going on and they have been great too...

My dad is My rock and My role model. He is the person I look up to and turn to when I need advice. I don't know what I'm going to do when he does pass. He asked me to be strong for My mum and sister, yet im struggling to be strong for myself. I've drunk a lot again tonight, I feel like I have...

So much for a new start and good weekend. By dad has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Life just isn't Fair. I'm devastated. It's taken everything away and I just feel numb. And I am reallydo feel useless now. How do I come back from this. I just want to curl up in a ball and make...

I am in a better frame of mind, i thing actually laying it out there has helped so much. Im not the type of person to reveal my feelings, i keep them bottled up inside in a tiny ball. But actually letting it out has made me see that its not bad to release feelings now and then. It will...

Its the hardest thing ive ever done. And that isnt a lie. Quitting smoking was easier. Ive gone from drinking heavily every night to nothing at all. The first couple of nights i felt awful and as if i couldnt concentrate or do anything. Last night was better, and i know it will get easier each...

Thank you so much for these replies, seriously thanks. I still havent got the balls to make an appointment to see the doctor yet, but my friends swept my flat and removed all my alcohol (some i didnt even realised id hidden in places) and they have been making sure that im not lonely too much...

Hi all, As my post is entitled, I am seriously depressed. I feel worthless, lonely and just awful every single night for the past year, even more. I drink heavily every night, and I cant seem to stop. I'm in a downward spiral, and I seriously don't know how to get out of it. Tonight I physically...

Morning guys, again thanks for the replies. Last night I was 6.8 at midnight, and then 11.2 at 7 am this morning. My normal rapid is 1 unit per 10g. But I have seen this was not working anymore. At dinner last night i was 6.9. I had 140g of Carb, But injected 20 units. I'm worried I'm...

my levels last night were 8.2 at 11pm, this morning i was 13.5 at 7am. I increased my Lantus from 12 to 16. I have only just moved to my current practice, so im not really in the system with them yet. so i have no numbers or names. the only people i have on call are two blood uncles who are...

Thanks for the replies, I cant get in with my DSN for another week. so in the meantime would you suggest i up my Lantus and my insulin to carb ratio?
