Hi all, just asking for a bit guidance really. I have experiencing dawn phenomenon for some time now and it is a constant battle to keep my morning BG in normal range. My diabetic nurse has recommended that I split my levemir dose. I current take 12 units in the morning and 12 before bed (I...

Its so frustrating, not only have we all got to deal with the diabetes but also all the other things that go with it. I am quite happy with a slow and steady weight loss as long as I understand that it is not me but the insulin that is making it that way!

Thank you so much for replying, I feel like I am being criticised by my the lady that runs the group as she always asks what I am doing wrong. I can honestly say that I am sticking to the plan and excising more so I don't know what more I can do. I guess slow and steady wins the race! x

Thank you everyone, I feel a lot better about myself after reading your comments. I want to loose about 2.5/3 stone which is the weight that I have put on since my diagnosis (this is mainly me overeating to compensate for hypos and feeding my diabetes!) It is very comforting to know that it...

Hi all, I joined slimming world about 8 weeks ago and although I started off pretty well, my weigh is not shifting as quickly as I would expect. I am finding it hard to follow a low carb diet and follow the Slimming World plan. At the moment, I am only managing to loose about a 0.5lbs...

Hi all, I have been diagnosed with type 1 for just under 6 months but have recently been experiencing high blood sugar readings in the morning. Usually I have pretty good control and the morning highs are worrying me. I have been told by my diabetic nurse to keep my blood sugar around 7mmol...

I am a bit of an odd case with my type 1 diagnosis. It seems that I had diabeties for a while before I was diagnosed but it is secondary to me having pancreatitis as a result of gallstones in my late teens. My pancreas lasted a few years then slowly stopped working hence the time it took for...

My blood pressure ranges from an ok 134/90 to a not very good 170/90.

I did a 24 hr blood pressure monitor thingy and that showed it was still high but no where near as high as it was at the surgery.

Hi all, I'm still pretty new to this after being diagnosed just over 3 months ago. My blood glucose control is getting better, I am adjusting to carb counting and generally just getting used to my new way of life. I saw my diabetic specialist nurse today and although she was pleased with my...
